RE: Sears lift
Hey Sparky- Get the M/C lift at harbor freight. I just bought one 2 weeks ago and I love it. I was going to get a Sears one and I read a thread on here and someone brought up the one at harbor freight and I bought it and have used on my Road King Standard and on my wife's Vulcan.It's well built and It's orange in color I paid $72 out the door, theyalso have a yellow one for $64 but the orange one is a newer version according to the sales guy.Both liftshave a 1500 lbs. capacity. I think the Sears one is like $149 or so. and the quality isnot nearly as good. Good Luck

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.

I like my red sears jack......sure I have to my bike on a 2x4 to raise it alittle (Street glide), but a 2x4 is cheaper than $80.
the Red jack is alot easy/safer to use (my opinion). I feel the red jack can be controlled alot better when lowering the bike.
Just my 2 cents

Yellow....Hands Down!. I've used both and the yellow one is the best one I've ever used. It's lighter and stronger. You'll spend more money on it but in the end you'll be glad you did. Good Luck

I have had both, kept the red (steel) one. Slight clearance issue w/ lowering kit on my rg but I think it is more stable and easier to control when lowering.
