Bike Lift which one?

This is mine

Motorcycle Lifts | TCML Motorcycle Lift, 1,500 LB. Motorcycle Lifting Table

Harbor Freight sells a table lift for half this price but I wouldn't put an 800 pound motorcyle on it.

The smaller lifts work great for oil changes, tires, etc. but if you are doing serious engine or drive train work that requires you to work from both sides of the bike and want to keep things at a comfortable working height, a table lift is the way to go.

Bought a Handy Lift this year, can`t begin to tell you how easy it makes any job.

The little hydraulic jack lifts are not much better than putting a couple of blocks under the frame to get the wheels off the ground, you are still sitting on a low chair and getting up and down constantly.

If you do your own work, you owe it to yourself, save your knees and back and buy a table lift, you will not regret it.

I bought the Big Red 1500 lb motorcycle jack..around $100 and I am very pleased with it.

The removable t-handle (makes storage easy) allows me to manouver my softail back and forth. It also has a safety catch if you decide to use it for extra piece of mind in case of bottle jack failure.

J&S Jacks. The boys in Wisconsin really know how to make a quality product. After paying $20K + for a bike, I certainly don't want it to fall off. I buy a ton of Chinese junk from Harbor bomber freight but the stuff is mostly one time usage inferior stuff and although the jack(s) were cheap and tempting, after I saw the J&S jack I was sold.

i have a larin jack 1500 cap. it works, but after seeing the J&S videos on there site..wow! that looks like a far better built jack. first time i use the Larin jack the rubber pads started pealing away from the lift, one of them fold out support arms has a busted thumb screw knob, came like that. not a real good start, but it still is in operation. check this vid out if you havent.

Funny you mention the safety catch. I got the same one from Candian Tire and had the bottle jack fail with the bike on it. I suggest you use that safety catch every time.
