    Yes, that's the one. Yes, it's made in China, but it's a substantial chunk of iron. I've used it for 3 yrs now--working great.

    My garage isn't as big as FLHT's, and I have to squeeze my bike in front of the cars sideways in order to get 'em all in. It was a royal p.i.t.a. jockeying the bike in there until I got this lift. Now, I just ride in straight, slide the lift under the bike, jack up until tires are off floor, then pull the bike around 90 deg. and tuck it in front of car. Even with all that weight, it still turns easily on a dime.

    This lift can still be purchased for $59 if you look in the discount coupons that come in e-mail regularly. Shipping was only $8! Best $59 I ever spent.

    Alex that's not my garage its my little shop on the other side of our garage. It was one of the reasons we bought the place back in 93.

    Had a air Hydraulic. Bike lft from harbor freight
    It your floor is no real level, beware of this lift
    Mine had one side to fold up on me with the lady electra glide. Bike tried to turn over with it up in the air
    Was a trip to get the bike off it.
    I will not own another cheap bike lift.
    Learned my lesson
