You got that right. It's tight.

Yes, it's 3" shorter than the K9

Hey guys so I’m in the market for a lift looking at reviews platform lift is nice but still need to get the wheels up. Was looking at the high position lift what are you thoughts. Thanks.

Hey David.... I have that lift and it works great... takes up little space, has low clearance so it slides under the bike easily. The only caveat I experienced is that my Vance and Hines 2 into 2 pipes I had to watch how far you push it under the bike. I have a picture of my 2006 BDM K9 on it; however, it is on a separate hard drive that I won't have access to until this weekend. If you would like me to post a picture let me know so I remember to post it when I get back.

A buddy of mine has that lift and that's what I used when I did my Fournales Shock upgrade -- I'd buy one of them over a table any day of the week. I sold my table for lack of space to use it (can't get the bike in the shed right now (narrow door and too much other stuff in shed).
I was really pleased using that jack -- wheels off the ground and easy access to anything on the underside.

The table is a lot more stable. Buy the Harbor freight wheel chock too, and their scissor lift. You can remove the front of the wheel chock , and raise the front of the bike also.

Nice. Did you have to extend the table to accommodate your bike?
Mr. Wright

No. If you look at the picture, you can see the the chock is just mounted off the end of the table.

And the Harbor freight jack has strap downs to stabilize the bike not seen in mjsk9's pics.
When I did the shocks on my K-9, the bike was very stable and I had no qualms about laying underneath it torqueing away at the bolts -- bike never budged.
It all depends on you space, the lift table takes up a LOT of space, although it can double as a parking space.

You are correct Mike, in David's post on Wednesday (see below) the lift shows the straps. In my pics, just a quick lift without the straps to see how it operated.....
Shannon, did you get you a Bull Dog? Or just working on one?
