• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

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
 
I have one and use it all the time. I'm using it right now as a matter of fact :)

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.

That't the exact same one I have, just a different color :doorag:

WORKS GR8

I ALSO USE MINE ON MY JOHN DEERE TRACTOR.... :bowdown:
IT TUCKS AWAY NICELY UNDER MY WORK-BENCH.... :thumbup:
SPYD3R
 
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..:roflblack:
 
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

THE RAGE

Don't have my Spyder.... yet. I wonder how well this would work? http://www.ragepowersports.com/motorcycle-products/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.
Well I read the spec / info sheet ....and I wouldn't use it for many reasons........Mike :thumbup:

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.
