RED just bought it last weekend, there are only like four parts to bolt on very easy. my 01 road king needs a 2x6 under the stand to clear, then just line it up under the rear support (tight fit but i didnt trim the rubber) and with 2-4 pumps the bike will straighten up. very solid i thought. i dont even use the long handle just grab the engine guard and rear bag trim. very easy to roll (watch for stones or stuff under the wheels) the bike gently lowers.
great for working on or moving the bike out of the way.
I just bought the red one from Sears and love it. Lots of good stuff. It fits nicely under my 06 UC. Locks in 3 positions. Tie down points. Foot pump. Easy to move the bike around the shop floor while on the jack. Lets down slowly and the best part is that it is $89 regulary and if you watch, they run it on sale real often. I got mine on sale for $69 plus 10% off on a sale they had one Sat morning from 0700 until 1200. $62 + tax. It is a little bit heavy, but why would you need to pick it up?? It has wheels LOL
Sears Yellow! And yes on the creeper chair with the tray below the seat for donuts and beer. btw, Harbor Freight's motorcycle hydraulic full bike table jack is on sale for $379. ... 1,000 # capacity.

Oh no.....the dreaded red vs. yellow Sears jack thread! j/k.
I have a RK Classic and have the yellow Sears jack. It's lighter than the red and has a little better clearance to get it under the bike. Get it,you'll love it. Also.....do yourself a favor and get a creeper chair for working around the bike. You won't regret it.
Got the yellow one. Works great but for some reason lowers too fast some times. Have to be careful on mine when relieving pressure to open valve VERY slowly. I think a smaller orifice would be better. (known some women like that)
I've got the red steel one and use it on my '00 RK Classic. I slide it under the right side, get on the bike to lift it off the kick stand, and then push the jack under the bike the rest of the way with my right foot.
Okay ... sounds like a pain and it was the first time but after a couple of times getting it on the lift, it's no problem. Save your $$ and buy some chrome for your bike!
