Default Harbor Freight Central Hydraulics lift

Does anyone have one of these lift/jacks? A friend is selling one, it looks like it would fit my Dyna. If you have one, what do you like/don't like?

How am I just finding out about this?? I’ll stay tuned to see what people have to say about it. I have the HF table lift and it takes up soo much space.

To me those type lifts are useless. Just about anything you want to do to the bike the lift is in your way. Guess it would be better than nothing.

I don't have a H.F. Jack, but I do find the jacks very useful. I have a J&S, and it is VERY stable even with my Limited lifted all the way up. I have done a fair amount of work on it on the lift. Yes, sometimes the lift is in the way, but most often it's not. Also because both wheels are off the ground, tires/brakes ext are much easier than if it were on a lift table. Just my 2cents if I used one of the low priced jacks, I would strap down the bike

Murphcc1, I have the same jack that you have right now. When I saw the $199 one that I posted the link to, at first I thought this looks so much better. But like Red says, you can't access one side of the bike easily because of the lift itself. So now I'm not so sure. Another issue is space...I have practically none, so I'm not even sure where I would put it.

Something to consider: The $200. jack can lift to 30" and the $100. jack can lift to 16" if that matters to you.

Default $100 Used HF MC Lift - Works Great

I've got one purchased used for $100. Works great for a 2012 FLHX. Very satisfied with it. In the images, getting the bike setup for a TX-LA-TX run. Put removable outriggers on the lift to help with the ATV. Make sure the lift is level and stable on the ground before lifting the bike. Use mine to reserve garage space for my toys. Moves easy and can park a truck over it when needed. Can always use it for a table for Scotch and such in an emergency. Enjoy.
