Is this lift any good for my Fatboy? I only plan on using it for cleanings and basic serviceing.&nbsp\\;

It's certainly not as good as mine:

&nbsp\\;
But for that price it will probably suit you fine.&nbsp\\; Just make sure you have the ground clearance to fit the jack under your fat boy.&nbsp\\; And you may have to strap the bike for stability (don't need straps with mine).&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Some say you should put pads under the rails where your shocks are so they don't rest on the jack but J&amp\\;S states you don't need them.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I use them anyway.
&nbsp\\;
FYI,&nbsp\\; the Sears yellow jack is very popular here on the forum also.&nbsp\\; I think it runs around the same price,&nbsp\\; maybe a few bucks more.&nbsp\\; Actually you'll probably fine most of those bargain jacks are made by the same company.

 

I have that jack works fine!

 

That jsjack looks very good.

The Sears yellow is on sale for $180. Sears has a red one, probably very similar to the Pep Boys lift, for $120. I have read that the red one sometimes goes on sale for ~$80.

 

&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;I bought mine at Harborfreight.com for $59.00&nbsp\\; It looks just like that except yellow. The only problem I have is it is hard to control the Down speed (very fast)&nbsp\\;even with the adjuster valve closed all the way.

 

I have a pepboys jack and it works fine on an 06 fatboy. I dont use it often, therefore, I dont really need a better one. clearance, on an 06 fatboy, stock height, it works fine. I have mats on my floor so i have to stand the bike more upright to clear the low side of the frame. I just twist the bar the oppisite direction and kind pull on the bars as it slides under. by the way I got it a last summer on sale with the coupon and sale price it was only 39.99.

 

Wow,&nbsp\\; I thought the yellow one was around $79.&nbsp\\; I was way off.

No, you were correct. The yellow one is around $80.00. I don't know where those other prices came from.
&nbsp\\;
EDIT: I just checked Sears.com. Looks like they "jacked" up the prices big time.

 

I bought the Sears one for around $100.00 about 4 years ago for my Ultra. It holds the Ultra nicely as with any big&nbsp\\;dresser.
The Sears one also has hold down points to strap the vehicle to the lift so it doesn't fall off.
Be sure the bottle jack will hold the required weight.

The Sears yellow I found is $180 -&nbsp\\; is another one that I didt find and should consider?
