The cheap Harbor freight one sells for $79 dollars on sale. I picked one up figuring it would not be the first time I wasted $79 dollars.
Put my 2013 RGU and my Fatboy on it.
It does work and rolls ok on a good floor.
The RGU just barely fits length wise.
The extension for the jiffy stand could stick out a bit more but it works.
No issue with the Fatboy on it.
Sits low enough there is no problem getting bike on and off.
All in all not bad for $79 dollars.

You know, I really like that dolly, but not sure it's clear how well it spins. think you could get her to spin it around 3 or 4 times?

If you Google it, you get a site in Portuguese, but I also found it on eBay.

Made in Brazil, just now being imported into the US. Very expensive, around $500 but reviews say it's easier to load on/off than the HF. But at that price, I dunno

UPS freight to me was $35 Amarillo to Nashville area. They were on sale last week, mine arrives on 7/30. Oughta do the trick.

I have the HF one. While it works just fine, you HAVE TO make sure your back tire is perfectly centered on it because if your rear tire rubs the side of the dolly it will force your bike over on it's side!!!!!!!!! DAMHIKT! So I don't use it anymore. I can back the bike in place in two moves so it's really no big deal!

I purchased the Harbor Freight dolly too. It is true, with my Ultra Limited the back tire needs to be perfectly centered. If it rubs even a bit it does want to force the bike over. I ended up buying a J&S jack and all is golden. Jack the bike up, swing it around and let it down. It is very stable and even with the two fixed casters, it is very easy to swing around in my narrow garage.

Yeah it's a lot, but my garage is uphill & $300 is cheaper than a Baker reverse setup
