Go to sears. They have one when its on sale Its $89. Works perfectly. Has positive locks at various heights. 4 rollers. My bike is lowered a bit and it just makes it under the bike where the drain is in the garage. Some guys roll the bike on a 2x4 to give it the extra height. For the money its a great lift. They do have an aluminum version but its double the price I think.

I have the aluminum jack listed for $174 on this page Car Lifts, Motorcycle Lifts and Engine Stands at Harbor Freight i
It works great for when you need wheels off the ground. You may need to use a 2x4 under a wheel to get it under the bike. Its pretty stable. For more involved work, I use the table that liferider has. Also from harbor freight. It cost me $300 plus I paid for some materials to extend the lift by 14" to fit my choppers. Both work great and can be had for in the $500 range total.

I just bought the yellow Sears lift and paid less than $150 on sale. Very nice lift that works very well and lifts the bike more than high enough to do 90% of the work you would want to do on your bike. I highly recommend it!

I don't have any knowledge of the one you specifically asked about. However, I have the Kendon Chopper lift and its great for everthing I need in a lift.

Hey I was thinking if all you want to do is change fluids and shine on the bike, you could get one or two of these and just use them? Motorcycle Lift

I have a kendon lift and love it!! I have put my mastiff up so many times and a friends fully loaded ulta glide and it is so stable and when you are done put it up against the wall and it takes up almost no room.

I have stinger which is OTC, was about $125.00 a couple years ago, main thing is it is 3-1/2 inches high to start, so all I have to do is stand bike up and it slides right under. works great 1500 lbs.

North American auto has a decent table lift for about 600/another 200 for the table extensions. You will need more that 60 PSI air pressure to work properly.

If you are going to do any serious work on the dog it’s damn handy to have a place to set tools and parts other than the floor.

I bought a small jack but K9 sets so low could not get it under unless driving up on something and then getting it off was scary – took two people both ways

How big of an air compressor do you need to operate the lift?

Hope I'm not hijacking this thread, but what's the general consensus on these little scissor type jacks? Are they stable and do you need to tie off the bike somehow? It seems like they would work great for fluid changes and getting the wheels off the ground an inch or two for cleaning. I have the red craftsman and I have to roll my K9 on boards cause the jack is too tall, then my fluid drains aren't easily accessible.

Coachk my lift is no more than 100psi –
:cheers:

rhino17 that’s why I got the big lift, I can just push the bike (K9) up on it. I have the wife tighten the clamp and throw the small jack under the back. It still takes two people :bang: One person could get the little scissor type jack under the K9 while holding the bike up right and get it off the ground.

I have the Direct lift - The only draw back is its black and parts get
lost easily ( Eyes are the first thing to go - I'd hate to think whats next ).
North American are Handy knock offs - great lift for the price.
I would keep watching Craigslist - I see them constantly for $250 - $350.
Theres one know on the Albany NY CL for $350 looks like a Handy .
Good Luck
