For what it is worth I tried the yellow Sears and for me it just would not fit right under my 2006 Road King.

I went with J&S Jacks

This is a heave duty jack that fits the Road King and is very stable.

 

I also went with J&S Jacks, worth every cent. Fast delivery and great people to deal with.

 

Now that looks like the real deal. I think I've seen something similar for over $400

 

sliding under the scoot is easy. just roll the tires onto short sections of 2x4.

 

The JS Jack has 4" clearance and the one at Sears is 3.5" clearance. Also, for today and tomorrow, Sears has the jack for $20 off. Only $149!!!

 

I bought the Sears/Craftsman motorcycle lift model 34612(red).It was on sale for seventy something.
The lift works great but could a little lower.When I slide it under the Road Glide,the end of the lift hits the frame rail near the jiffy stand.At this point I have to lift up the handle to tilt the lift so it will slide under the rail.The other option is to hold the bike upright to get the lift under the rails.The cross member under the frame rails doesn't interfere with the lift.
The bike is very stable when on the lift.The only time I would use the straps is for tire removal.
There are other companys that sell the same lift such as Harbor Freight Tools.These lifts are made in China by the same company.

 

Direct lift the only way to go. Nothing like having the wheels at eye level!!!

 

Good point 100th RK. The only draw back to me is you can't roll the wheels for detailing!!

 

Hey whapp, did you see the MBL adapter for this unit??

mud

 

Thats what they make the Blackjack for! Works great for cleaning wheels and tires.
