Do I need a lift?

Gonna change out the bars on my SG, can this be done without a lift, or do I need 1. I plan on buying one, just haven't done it yet.

It could be done without a lift but it'll be so much easier with one. Get the lift - make it a lift table if your budget (and space) allows.

No one is not needed but like said previously it is always good to have an excuse to buy some more tools. And it will come in very handy in the future if you do your own servicing.

Buy the jack, and a cabin in the woods, so you will have a place to go once the new bars are on. You only live once. LOL

Got the bucks get a bulldog or a nice lift table .
If your on a budget like me find the coupon and get the Harbor Freight Yellow lift jack .
It was like $59 plus tax at there retail store.
At there web sight last time i looked they would ship to you for S&H $6

You can usually find the coupon in most motorcycle mags .
I got my coupon from there add in the Free Thunder Press.

I have used my Yellow jack lots of times with my 2008 FLHRC and stored my GFs 1999 FXR3 on it all winter.

My yellow jack lift has saved me a bunch doing stuff on my bike.

I also bought a large thrifty BlackWidow sissor jack for motorcycls on Amazon. handy if you get a lift table.
