#499587 MountainCruiser (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 158 Anybody using a High Position Lift? 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I know there are a lot of posts on here about motorcycle lifts. I did a search and found this one from Harbor Freight talked about a little, but didn't actually see any comments from anybody who actually has one. From looking at it, I like that it can raise the bike higher and that it has a wider stance that the standard floor jacks so I'm thinking maybe a little more stable? I also like that it starts out really low compared to the other ones. Does anybody here actually have one of these? If so, can you give me your opinion / experience with it?

Wouldn't that setup kind of restrict working on both sides of the bike at the same time?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #499723 scottw (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1851 Re:Anybody using a High Position Lift? 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   buckshot wrote: MountainCruiser wrote: I know there are a lot of posts on here about motorcycle lifts.

Wouldn't that setup kind of restrict working on both sides of the bike at the same time? ======================= I also think it's MS1700 that has this jack & really liked it from what i remember. True but the positives of its deisgn out weighs the fact you may need to drop bike down and spin the bike or jack arround once in a while . But when doing work on forks/front & rear wheels & brakes/changing tires etc its nice that it lifts the bike higher then std bike under the bike red jack like Sears & Habor Frt sells while also being a bit more stable too. BTW,i already had the smaller sears type red bike lift before i found out about this better bike lift that i would have rather had.

If I lift it up all the way, I do put blocks under the legs to help support the weight.

I had a little trouble with the jack part bleeding down slowly, but they gave me a new one cheerfully and the new one works perfect. Its the only jack you need IMHO. Great for exhaust work, forks, Shocks, washing and detailing. It does give a little when fully raised but trust me nothing is going anywhere. I used to use a board to steady it up. But I got over it after a few times and use it stand alone. Its very stable and sturdy.   Logged     If you aren\'t running on the edge...You\'re taking up too much room!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #500206 MountainCruiser (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 158 Re:Anybody using a High Position Lift? 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Deedot - Thanks for pointing me to MS1700's post. When I did my search, I didn't see that one. It was very helpful! MS1700 - Thanks for the review of it. That plus Harbor Freight's sale, plus an extra 20% coupon, and I pulled the triger on one. I look forward to getting it put together and trying it out now! This is my first lift, and I figure between my roadie and my newly aquired project bike, it's a worthwhile investment. Thanks!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
