Default RE: Using a lift on a sofetail

Actually there is a gravity activated lock that can hold the bike up in 3 positions. When you want to lower the bike you have to pulla bar that transverses the jackbackwards to lift the locking armsand it locks into a springclip - you can do it with your foot if you like.

If I were going to be moving the thing around much at all (not rolling on the floor, I mean putting it in the truck and taking it some place else) I'd sure be buying the lighter yellow one. As it is mine doesn't go much of anywhere other than that I roll the bike around sometimes and turn it for better light, that sort of thing. So weighing about twice as much didn't bother me.

Anyway, while it sure ain't the world's greatest jack its not at all bad for the money and as luck would have it the spacing of the bars is such that you can lift up a softail safely with one and not touch the shocks at all.
