A guy at work has one and he is happy with it. I have the Sears one and use it for my full dress Electra Glide with no problems and it seems plenty sturdy. http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...seBVCookie=Yes It's on sale for 2 more days. Chris

I sold my '02 fatboy last month

. I still have the craftsman lift--used only a couple of times so it's in like new condition. If ya want it let me know--$60, fedex overnight shipping included.

I still have my bike lift from when I had a road king. I tried to sell it at a garage sale for 25 bux and some gold wing rider tried to talk me down. I kept it, and have used it for moving stuff around the garage, moving a new stove into the house, holding a door up when mounting it to one of my trucks and I even used it on my scion when I roated the tires...Glad I kept it.

The only thing bad Ive heard about the harbor frieght lifts is the bolts. A quick swap to grade8's & they are fine. The sears is still better though...

Bolts and the jack. The first one I bought never worked from the start, they gave me another jack and i could not get it working roght either. Got a better quality jack and it works great. Just because it's $50 doesn't atuomatically mean it's junk. But it does need a couple upgrades
