#98740 Moondog (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 336 Motorcycle Lift 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I was thinking about getting a lift so I can start changing my own oil and other small repairs. Does anyone have any experience with the Harbor Freight one? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=2792 Or if you know of a good one that won't break the bank.

You just have to get used to proper placement for getting the rear oil plug off. If your bike has been lowered you may have to ramp up your front tire to get a lift under the frame.

I am sure most any of them will work well   Logged     Custom paint anyone.... ?

First, it sat too high and had trouble getting it under my RS*. Second, once I did get the stand under my RS*, the stand is right in the way of trying to remove the drain plug and had to bring the bike back down and do it without the lift anyway. I decided to sell it and save some $$$ and purchased this. http://www.pantherlifts.com/Panther/index.php?action=item&id=17&prevaction=category&previd=4&prevstart=0 A bit more money to put out, but well worth it. Also, I've seen some people build their own out of a 4" X 8" x 4' Douglas Fir and a 1" Galvanized pipe. This seems to work quite well for most anything you'd want to do on your bike yourself. I'll see if I can find the instructions for building this simple lift and put it here on this thread.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #98745 bowhunter4265 (User) Detroiter by Birth Eastsider by the Grace of God Senior Boarder Posts: 354 Re:Motorcycle Lift 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I think they are all made in china anyway, the Harbor Freight is the one I use..We have a local outlet near by. Warranty sucks so use it and make sure it works.. Or you will be buying one to swap for parts and take back. Sears sells one looks the same just a different color.   Logged     Paul K&N, V&HPowershots   The administrator has disabled public write access. #98747 bthomas (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 259 Re:Motorcycle Lift 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I have the Craftsman lift. Paid either $59 or $69. Don't really remember. Works real well. I've heard good reviews on the Harbor Freight lift too.

I'm lowered a bit so I have to roll the back tire up on a chunk of 2x6 to get enough clearance..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #98817 cartersta (User) winter antifreeze, send jack daniels Gold Boarder Posts: 973 Re:Motorcycle Lift 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   my dad & i got the craftsman a month ago, never used it, yet   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #98854 Long2Ride (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 32 Re:Motorcycle Lift 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I bought one at Checker Auto for $80 and it's been working fine.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
