Default If you are in the market for a motorcycle lift

Not sure if this post belongs here so mod please move if needed.

For those of you considering a motorcycle lift, Harbor Freight just put theirs on sale for $299 which normally runs for $430.

To get the sale price just give the cashier (or online order) coupon code 11726132

Sale expires 3/30/2017

Thanks Mrfreeze. I have wanted a lift ever since I got my bike but I just don't have the room for it so I ended buying the jack instead. The sale price is over 100 bucks off so I thought I would share since bike lifts are often discussed here.

Wasn't aware that the ad comes up frequently. Good to know though, in case I build a shed and can move stuff out of my garage to make room for a lift/table.

With Harbor Freight everything is on sale and is a great deal at one time or another.
The trick is to get it on sale when you actually need it.

The infamous HF Lift goes on sale about every 60 days or so for $299 and sometimes like a couple of weeks ago you can even get it for $289.99.



That being said, I think if anyone wanted a lift, the HF one is certainly the one to get if not for any other reason just to see if it's needed enough to justify spending the money for a real nice one.

That is why I bought a Kendon lift
I picked up a show display and saved quite a bit of $$$

I almost bought one this past xmas when it was on sale. Looking at it closer again I see the difference between the two they offer is the height it can reach. One 33' and other is 29 1/2'. It doesn't show the difference in height when lowered. Anybody having either can tell me if there is a difference in the lowest position.
Really thinking about getting one.
Thanks for any help

Product description on Harbor Freight site shows that lower lift height minimum height is 7 inches and greater height lift is 8 1/8 inches. Interesting that lower lift height lift weights significantly more than higher lift height lift - but photos appear to be the same photos, only one is mirror image of the other.

the HF lift is a good price for the casual user. for the more frequent you might want to think about something else.

i have a HF and a titan which i picked up used. bike cant tell the difference but i can.

I've seen a ton of posts on here about how wonderful they are for the price. That wasn't my experience. Long story short, I now have a Titan.
