    Default Motorcycle Lift

    Does anyone have, or use one of the Harbor Freight motorcycle lifts. If so, how well does it work, and safely? Good price at $89,00 plus your 20% off coupon .20160709_111309.jpg

    Default Works Well

    I have the one you showed in your OP from Harbor Frieght. It works very well. For an RT, you slide it under the side right at the floorboard area. It will catch the bottom frame rail there with both forks. Be sure to further secure the bike with lift jacks if you are intending to work underneath it.

    I have that blue one to the left of the one you photographed. The blue one (also comes in yellow) is heavy duty and many of us are using it.

    I will try to import some photos someone else shared.jacklineup.jpg

    Same jack but in yellow. Harbor freight has the blue ones. They did use my 20% off coupon on this jack !
    I noticed you have an RT...I WOULD USE THIS ONE...it is rated for heavier weight.

    I've Been looking into this it seems as if most of you prefer a standard motorcycle jack over one of the spyder lifts that I was looking at a few days ago is that true?

    The yellow one in the picture is a craftsman I think they use yellow and harbor freight uses blue but they are the same. I bet I if snap-on sold them they would be red.....and a bit more pricey..

    I use a J&S jack. They are much more expensve but withe the spyder adapter, the bike is VERY secure in the up position. You can spin the spyder and roll it where ever you want. You do not need the other supports such as jack stands or rear wheel support

    Don't have my Spyder.... yet. I wonder how well this would work? http://www.ragepowersports.com/motor...ducts/mc-jack/ I bought it for cleaning bike wheels. Lift one end at a time and place on ramps or jack stand(s). Maybe I should just go to Harbor Freight and buy the ATV Lift? The "Rage" needs about 6" to get under the frame.

    I already had my Harbor Freight motorcycle lift for my previous motorcycles when I switched to the Spyder. If I was buying one today, I might look at some other options. But the one I have works fine.
