got a Handy lift from Broadway lift in CA. They had the best price around for a Handy.

 

Man, that setup is the cat's ***! You got the drop down tail, side extensions, the whole shootin' match. The deal that was the lead post on this thread looked okay until I noticed that the lift didn't have the drop down tail.

The Motorcycle Show is at the end of this month in Cleveland, I'm hoping Handy will be there with a show special.

 

snap-on makes a nice one

 

I also have the J&S jack .....and I have the red table lift from harbor freight .It has been a good lift for me does everything i need it to do .But just like the J&S jack vs the other jacks I'm sure they're better lifts out there.
Harborfreight puts the lift on sale all the time and sometimes they offer 20% coupons I think I ended up paying about 250.00 3-4 years
ago.

I have the Direct Lift and love it. I really liked the Handy, my neighbor has one but it was $200.00 more not counting shipping. I was close enough to pick up the direct lift as a distributor was by my house. Very happy with it, great price!!

Plus 1 on this lift.
Cant beat it for the money.

Pros:
Price
Very easy to jack up even if its not air/hydraulic (manuel jack only)
Very solid once its up more then 6" or so (see cons below)
Fairly easy to move around with bike on lift. Better casters might make it even better.

Cons:
Hardware. Cheap soft bolts for bolting on the caster wheels. I replaced mine with good bolts.
Although lift is solid in down position, it is wobbly once you start lifting until it gets above 6 to 8" high. After you get higher then that it is very solid.
Be careful the first few times you lower the lift with the bike on it until all the air gets out of the jack. It will come down fast. After that it is smooth as silk.
Tire vise is JUNK! I put this chock on mine and it works GREAT! Holds the bike till I get off and put tie down straps on it.

Overall a good lift for the price. Im very happy with mine!

 

Broadway lift, found them on the internet, gave me a hell of a great price on the Handy lift, and they had it shipped with special rates direct from Handy. I did a lot of searching for the best price on a Handy with freight and they couldn't be beat.

What he said. Had it for a few years now, and it's great. Got the side extensions, for extra space for tools and other stuff.

 

What did he change out old front wheel vise with?another vise or a wheel chuck like heavy duty one that Harbor freight has? Thanks

 

+1 to the Handy from Broadway Lift. Got one from the same place myself. There are others that are very good also - DirectLift, Kendon, ProLift. Then there's Harbor Freight - need I say more?
