lionsm13 - It comes with two tie down straps. You can see them hanging just below the bike. One goes on each side of the bike. No other pictures at the moment.

 

There are a lot of choices,it's all about function, looks,price or all three.

 

+1 on the J&S jack. Great product and great people with whom to do business.

 

i'm also looking for a handy lift, direct lift, or i believe it's a k&L. a lift table because i already have a great jack for my motorcycles, now i need a lift table. i'm guessing i can avoid the freight charges on one by driving either to the dallas or kansas city area and picking it up at their dock. good luck with finding what you want.

 

Check out the www.gregsmithequipment.com and no I don't own the Co. just where I bought mine. They a few locations and I was lucky enough to have one with in a couple of hours so shipping wasn't a problem. I believe they sell Direct Lifts. That is what I bought a few years ago and use it daily. My Ultra is on it most of the time for cleaning. Prices were right but don't forget the side boards, they are a must for a big bike. The black jack 1000 is good to for lifting your bike after it is on the lift table especially for cleaning those wheels

 

I just went through the lift-purchase process, ending up with a Pitbull for my FXSTC Softail Custom. If anyone's interested in what I found during the research, there's some pix and commentary here:

I got the K&L MC625R and love it. Its a lifetime lift. For one person to operate its great drive into the wheel chock and get off, no balancing act while you screw or clamp the vice in. The only thing I would do different is I wouldn't get the side extensions. Your too far away to work on the bike with them. You only need them to balance putting the bike on and off the lift. I could have made side panels out of wood.

 

I use a HF 1000lb lift table with a HF wheel chock. Got a cheap scissor jack and modified it to lift the rear wheel when necessarry. I made wood side panels to help with putting the bike on and getting it off. I simply slide them out of the way when doing any work. I park the bike on the lift, so it's not like the lift table is taking up any extra space when not in use. Best investment so far, and it's more than enough lift for me. The only problem is that friends always want to use it for their repairs, oil changes, etc. But I can think of worse problems to have.

 

Thanks for link to lifts, i think i might get the pitbull to i want sturdy
