    Anybody buy the Chineese Bike lift from Harbor freight.


    Here is the table we got. See the different wheel chock than the one with just the Hydraulic lift.
    You still need to cut wooden wedges for the rear wheels. And add some eye bolts to make it easier to strap down by yerself.

    If you look on the internet you can find coupons for harbor freight too.

    Know it can be tough to load and unload the bike by yerself on the table.

    Look what I found.
    I think I need a set of these.

    And this is what I wished I had of gotten, it comes with a service jack too.

    Wish my shed/shop was big enough to put a lift in - but I don't have the head clearance, so I got the Harbor Frieght floor model which gets it off the ground about 6 inches front and rear.
    The only thing that bugs me is the fit of the rails under the bike - not much room for error when setting the bike on the jack; only about 1 inch either way and down she comes.

    does anyone have experience with Harbor Frieghts motorcycle jacks or their air compressors. Normally I would go straight to Sears for these items but HF seems to have some pretty good prices. I wouldnt use the items professionally, just around the garage. I just dont know anything concerning the quality of these tools.
