Boo hoo hoo!!! Harbor Freight sucks!!! Boo hoo hoo......

LMAO....you should know what HF is before you walk in the doors....sometimes their stuff works great, sometimes it doesn't. Great place to find a throw away or one time use tool.

I have their bike lift, so far no complaints.....nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.....

Handy has a 10% Black Friday coupon on their lifts through the weekend. I walked through a H-D shop this afternoon and that’s all they had

I'm in the camp of those who aren’t going to put a 25k motorcycle on $300 lift. It probably works for most but not something I’m willing to do. Plus, I like the idea of having the pneumatic convenience of raising and lowering the table

Just so you understand price means **** I have personally seen 2 handy lift fall over with a bike on them for no reason we could ever find. I've been using the same lift HF sells about 12 years now, had a lot of bikes one & off it.

My bikes are currently both up in the air. One on a Harbor Freight lift and the other on a Python.

Just know the tire chock that comes with it is utter trash, throw it away and upgrade it to something like I added. Other than that, it's a great table lift.

Another vote for Handy. I bought their "Sport" lift several years ago to help me work on my BMWs (gettin' too old to crawl around on the floor). The sport can handle 750 lbs so I feel safe using it with my FLDE. "Touring" riders would have to look at their larger lift.
