Yes, we are so lucky to have our markets flooded with inexpensive Asian goods. [:@]

What kinda taxes, duties, and shippingwould you have to pay in UK if you ordered from Harbor Freight?....Or if a friend bought one for you as a "gift" and had it shipped?

I got the red from sears a couple of years a go for xmas I have lifted gold wings full dressers and now the sportster no problem one of the good things is the handle comes out for storage so it doent take up a lot of space Ive heard good and bad with harbor freight the bad was the bolts they use on the sopports just be careful which ever one you use

Just a note on hydraulic MC jacks in general, for those that arn't aware. Never leave the weight of the bike standing on the hydraulic pump. Always use the mechanical stops on the jack and take the pressure off the hydraulic cylinder once the bike is raised. I know this is pretty basic info. but some people don't know any better. This applies reguardless of the brand of jack you are using.

Ooops, I use the mechanical stop,but always forget to release the pressure on the jack!! I bought mine at Costco and ended up taking the wheels off to make it easier to use. With the wheels on I have to boost the bike up first, or remove the lower exhaust pipe.

I have the highend Sears one... works ok but hard to get the Sportster on it. Ihave to use blocks of wood...and the kick stand is in the way..

Two weeks ago Harbor Freight had their motorcyclelift table on sale for $199.00 so I got one... Now this was a really good deal and the lift table seems well made for the money... It sure is nice to be able to get the bike up 32" off the floor to work on it with out bending over.... And it has wheels on it soI was able to move it around in the garage with the Honda FT500 on it with no problem.. Bob

I got one from here ........ not the cheapest and I still needed to modify the cross beams because the 06 883C pipes are lower than the frame tubes. Once that was sorted though its easy to use and gives a huge lift of about 800mm......solid as a rock.
