Default Looking for a dependable Motorcycle Lift

I've been searching everywhere...and as always, there's a ton out there...just not sure which to jump on.

I'm not trying to spend quadruple digits on a lift but I'm looking to see if any of you have had luck (or no luck) with specific brands. Looking for a flat bed lift I can connect to my compressor, not a foot pumper that isn't too cheap but isn't too expensive.

I saw the one at Harbor Freight, but don't have the coupon that offers it at $299, however I can get it for $335 w/ the current sale plus 20% coupon.


Thanks fellas...

Derek Weaver.
I had the harbor freight lift and will lets just say had. I didn't like putting a 1000lbs. on it. Sure some people will say that they love there's and totally trust it and that's there opinion.
My Weaver lift is a hell of a lot more stout, sturdy,smooth and it's movable instead of having to bolt to floor. 640.00 and a bill to ship.

If you want a good one that is made here in the USA, then J&S is the way to go. In my opinion, the best lift out there for our bikes.

J&S Harley Lift

Wow that's cool! I don't know if I would use it for a striper pole like ol boy but I sure would like to watch her dance on it!

Heard a lot of good things about the J & S. I currently use a jack purchased from a local supply store for $150 and it gets the job done but I want to upgrade to the J & S in the future.

I have a the Harbor coupon if you decide to buy that one. I can mail it to you if you like? Inbox me your address. My mechanic uses that lift and I bought one for my Busa, its a good table. We changed the chock out though for a more sturdy one...but all in all its a good table.

+1 for J&S or the Pitbull, but not a flat bed lift. However, I love mine and easy to store.

I bought this one from Sears a couple of years ago and it has been very good.
