Just finished my project for the motorcycle lift. Harbor Freight 1000LB lift table ($280.00) Universal Motorcycle Stand ($40.00), 14 80# bags of Quickcrete, and some time and effort. Have been working on it since Mid November, had to recruit help from family and friends since I had my right bicep reatached on November 8th and am still going through therapy with it. All is great and looking forward to working on the bike now.

 

how do you like the lift? Im always leary of buying HF stuff but after using their cheapo tire changer im actually impressed with it.

 

I like it, didnt care or trust their tire chock/clamp so I purchased their universal motorcycle stand and bolted it to the table (cut the front support down to fit inside table edges to give more stability. It is a little narrow for pulling the bike on and off of but I managed without any issues. For the money I would do it again as long as the coupons from the magazines are used to get a realistic value.

 

I just checked online and that same model sells for $449.

 

Check in motorcycle magazines or at the local bike shop for the free mags like Thunder Press for coupons, I know right now they have it for $279.99 good thru April 8th 2011.

 

I got mine for like $275 also about 2 years ago now. Hands down best thing I have added to my shop so far, other than the bike of course! I have used that table for lots of stuff, working on bikes, riding lawn mower(barely fits, all 4 tires are 1/2 on, but it works!)push mower, and extra assembly area when doing wood working projects. I LOVE IT! NEVER tried to tip over, and I just wheel mine under work bench when not in use.

I even was on top of it with a Honda 600RR helping my buddy replace his fuel tank. Loooong story, but the table was all the way up, bike strapped down, and I got up on it as well, sat on the bike and held/worked the fuel tank while he was under it figuring out our problem....

2009 BEST BUY in my shop!!!

 

Just scanned this from Thunder Press as an example of the coupons for you.

 

They used to let you use 2 coupons together, but my store just stopped that. I got mine for like $279 and used a 20% coupon off to cover all the tax and a little more off.....May check to see with your local store, ours just changed......

 

thats a pretty decent deal. There is a HF outlet store about 50 miles away from me so I could pick it up and skip the shipping.

 

Nice install job. Enjoy.
