I have the redlift from Sears and it works fine. I do make sure to strap the bike down though.

I have the red Sears jack...it works great for me. When I use the jack, that means I'm doing some seriuos work on my bike so I use a dolly (from harbor freight0 once the bike is up. So, as far as stabilty, I only use the jack to lift the bike, and the dolly goes right in, and jack is back in the corner till needed.....

Save that extra $$$ for other things!!!

my $.02

Build a bike lift for your Harley-Davidson motorcycle for under $20

You have decided it is time to perform your own maintenance on your bike. You have even considered making a few engine modifications yourself. Maybe you'll even take the back wheel off to have a new tire installed. After a trip down to your local shop, you're back home with an arm load of parts. You grab a wrench to loosen the drain plug only to realize your going to be crawling around on the floor to do anything. It's a problem just finding the drain plug, you can forget about removing the rear tire or any other major work. What can you do about this?





It's much easier to work on you bike when it is on a lift. Routine maintenance is a snap. More extensive modifications and repairs that were impossible to perform before are now possible. Removing either of the wheels is now simple. The bike is level, steady and at least one of the wheels is in the air. You can work like the pro's.
Excuse me! One little problem here. Sophisticated lifts can cost in excess of $250 and the least expensive ones are still about $80. That's a pretty good chunk of the cash you had for the work on the bike. A lot of us are not made of money, and why spend a bundle on a lift that is only going to be used a couple of times a year. Good point!
Motorcycle Performance Guide came up with a pretty simple design for a lift you can build yourself. It will take a trip to Home Depot for a few items, then about an hour to assemble. The cost to you should be less than twenty dollars.
To construct the lift you'll need the following items. Here are the estimated costs. [align=center]




(1) 3 ft. long 4" x 8" Douglas fir
@ $2.00/linear foot
$6.00

(1) 4' x 3/4" galv. threaded pipe
@ $4.32
$4.32

(1) 3/4" galvanized pipe flange
@ $3.11
$3.11

(4) 3" x 5/16" lag bolts
@ .50 each
$2.00


Sub-Total
$15.43


Tax
1.20


Total
$ 16.63[/align]The following tools are needed to assemble the lift:




Pencil & Ruler


Electric (not battery powered) Drill


1" and 1 3/8" Paddle bore drill bit or adjustable hole saw drill attachment


3/16" Wood drill bit
