Default harbor freight bike lift

bought a bike lift at harbor freight today for $287.00 on sale. i feel kind of dirty even going in that place with all the chinese crap they sell, but for the price i figured it was worth a shot. the fit and finish seem good, and it seems solid with my road king on it. i looked at a couple other ones online, but they were 3 bills just for the shipping, let alone the lift. just wondering if anyone else has one and how it has held up for them?

after a few days of use you should do a little evaluation of it... Ive been eyeing it for over a year so far, but for some reason cant break down and bring it home..YET ..is the front wheel chock any good?

If you do get the front wheel chock, you might have to modify it just a little bit, so it will grip the tire/wheel up a little higher.

I have two of them. Been useing them for years. The table lift is great for changing oil and replacing the rear tire. You don't have to get down on your knees. I put a Bike Pro chock on the front of my table lift. It makes it a lot easier to put the bikes on. HF sells a copy of the Bike Pro a lot cheaper so I bought one of those too. You might want to check it out.

i feel kind of dirty even going in that place with all the chinese crap they sell, but for the price i figured it was worth a shot.
If that makes you feel dirty. Don't look at where a lot of the parts are made on your Harley. You will feel like you need a bath all the time.
