I'm going to buy one and take advantage of the Harbor Freight discounts .I used to also use a ATV jack kind of dangerous in my humble opinion . Thanks Ruconsmpto for the tips and review.

My Harbor Freight lift is only about 2 years old and routinely has either a Soft Tail, a Victory King Pin, a BMW R1200RT or any number of dirt bikes on it. I even use it for servicing air compressors or push lawnmowers. It’s versatile for sure and has been 100% reliable so far. Take the man’s advice and get one. Watch for coupons and it can be had for under $500. Consider as he did replacing the tire chock that comes with it. Original is flimsy.

consider this: you have your 900 pound motorcycle up on this type of lift, you have the safety on so the weight of the entire motor cycle is on that safety, and the lifting cylinder won’t lift the machine off of the safety while you have it all the way up.. how will you get at 900 pound motorcycle off of the lift?..

@@ruconsmoto I have a Pneumatic handy lift that I bought new about 25 years ago.. I did not have it in a busy shop. I just had it at home for my motorcycles. There have been more than a few… I had one of my bikes on the lift, about 600 pounds, I tried to put the lift up to change the oil and give the bike a once over to check everything.. The lift would not go up. I heard a lot of air escaping from somewhere that I never heard before… I have a video on my KZbin channel showing how I hope I avoided this situation. I mentioned having a bike up and the safety on, and not being able to get the lift up off the safety so I could lower the table.. I don’t think I could use to floor jacks to lift the table with my 900 pound machine on it if that happened again.. I suppose I could back my pick up truck with the tailgate down close to the table and wheel the motorcycle onto my truck, but then how would I get my motorcycle off of my truck? I suppose I could call a tow truck to lift the motorcycle with straps, if only I could be sure to lift the motorcycle level, which would require a yolk with a spreader on it.. I finally decided I am not going to trust that lift anymore. I looked into how much it would be to replace the seal which just looks like a fat O-ring. That sucker is $110. if that is the one that was leaking. There is another seal around the connecting rod. I just reached them very well, and it appears to be working, but I’ll never trust that lift again. I will lift the motorcycle when needed using the lift, but I won’t put the safety down. I will keep it elevated using the air. without letting the table put its weight on the safety.. to be fair to the lift, it did look like the seal on the piston, and the connecting rod were dry. I had never thought about lubricating them ever before. When I pull the piston and rod out of the cylinder, which took about five minutes, I was very surprised at how simple those things are., They are no more complicated than a simple bicycle air pump

Good video. I decided I needed a motorcycle lift about 5-6 years ago so I bought a lift just like this one from HF online. I can tell you that I firmly believe this lift paid for itself the very first time I used it to do the work needed on the Fatboy I had. Had a few buddies bikes on it too, all great results. Haven't needed to get my Road Glide Ultra up on it yet, though. I'd like to do a few mods/upgrades now to make it a little better and I see a few great ideas here in the video and in the comments. Love the idea of replacing the hydraulic cylinder with a pneumatic one. I should also change the stock front wheel choke to a larger unit like shown in the video. If anyone wants to poo poo my Harbor Freight lift I won't care, but I have a Milwaukee sticker I can just slap on it so you can feel better. ;)

It is a seal conditioner, I only added a couple ounces to the jack oil. There's a rubber plug on the side of the jack. I love my Harbor Freight motorcycle lift.
