I don't know about that stand but I have their Motorcycle/ATV jack that I have been using for almost 15 years.

I will buy it and give it a try. It looks like it will make cleaning the wheels alot easier.

I have it and have used it and it wasn't as good as just putting the bike on my lift and cleaning the wheels. It works ok but since the bike is leaning a bit it tends to kick out after turning the wheel about half way around.

Default Wheel Cleaning Stand

Good Morning. Just a thought, I do not know what model bike you have but my 08 FXDF weights almost 800 lbs and the Harbor Freight Wheel Cleaning Stand states a max weight of 500 lbs. I do not know of any Harley at this time that is that light, I would not waste my money on a stand build for much a lighter bike but that is just my opinion. Good Luck !

For $30 you might be better off adding a few more $$$ to get the lift & then you'll have the same wheel cleaning ability & bike mobility. The $29 wheel cleaning stand looks OK & I'd also be leery on the weight capacity, although you're only setting 1/2 the bike, or one wheel at a time on it. Would probably work, but no different than cleaning part of the wheel & rolling bike a few feet to do the rest so if this convenience is worth the $$ to you - go for it.
