It actually says on it "Team Mechanix"

probably the same thing. I'm finding more and more that the "harley" market is filled with cross-branded stuff

Nothing wrong with a Harbor Freight jack! I do like the idea of the table for it to sit on....anyone know the correct dimensions for that?

If you're asking about the stand, its 21" wide, 16" tall, 14" deep, made from 1.25" square tubing.

Cut the legs on your stand down a couple inches, add lockable casters, and you have a movable storage stand. I use one to get the two bikes into the garage and still be able to get 2 cars in. In fact, wifes deluxe sits on it all winter, and my ultra sits on the J&S

Only reason I say cut it down first, is due to the limited lifting height of the jack

The stand looks like a great idea. Is it open on one side for the jack to go in to drop the bike onto the stand?

Yes, check the stand on this site: http://pepsx.com/
Mine is a simplified homemade version of it.

If anyone figures out how to make the HF jack come down more slowly, I'd love to make the adjustment.

ON MY Harbor Freight jack ......

per the Instructions .

IF you just give the pedal a push ...the jack comes down quick.

BUT If you depress the pedal all the way down quickly and hold it down .It Should Lower Slowly. i practised with a cpl cement blocks on it before i tried it with my FLHRC.

I agree but for the price you can't beat it. They had a coupon about 3 weeks ago for 61 bucks.

I have owned my HF jack since the mid 90's with no issues.
