Harbor freight motorcycle lift and chock review= WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

Sharing some of my experience with the Harbor Freight motorcycle lift and chock

[@stanwerner7484]

I have tried several "rocker" style front wheel chucks--all are the same a lot of effort to get your bike out. Best one out there is to just drive the bike in a clamping device

Good review.

[@Sony72604]

Great job thank you. I think this is the first video I have seen on KZbin with no thumbs down. You win lol

[@jeremysherrill9931]

Not sure of the part number. The best way to tell the difference between lifts, is the way the bottom part is made. I feel the best one is the one that can sit flush to the ground. The lower area side beams are C channel shaped. Mine is like an upside down L. However, I have had no issues with it. It probably has the part number on it, but its buried in the garage right now, due to winter.

The different designs and SKU numbers on Harbor Freight products will reflect the particular manufacturer who made the item. If there are two SKU numbers, the part number will be the same.

[@jdshooter777]

what part# is your lift?

[@JoeL-tv9id]

Jeremy has a 69904 with the angle iron base, the one with the C Chanel base is No. 68892. it looks a bit stronger to me. I have been looking for a 68892 but not able to find one. all her have is the 69904. The pump lever is in a deferent place , if that matters?

[@jeremysherrill9931]

I was also looking for the other design. One downside to mine is, you cannot mount it to the floor, directly, due to the location of the pivots for the pedals. I believe the other part number has the pedals mounted above the rails, so you could bolt it to the floor if you so desired. Mine has served me well, so far... No complaints.

Are you having any difficulty rolling the bike back out of the wheel chock by yourself because I have to get help every time

[@jeremysherrill9931]

It can be difficult. Rock it and use the front brake to hold it in position. I have a rider backrest on my bike that gives me something to push back against. If you have a helper, simply pull the pin, on the part of the chock that moves, and you will roll right off no problem.

[@wb4514]

Are you able to ride the bike into the chock and secure it ? Where do you put your feet, and are you able to get it out of the chock and off the table by yourself ?

[@jeremysherrill9931]

Yes, I ride the bike up onto the lift, then the chock. Carefully. This chock secures the bike very well by itself, with nothing else needed, depending on what you are doing...Anti-slip tape on the lift helps. The bike wants to slide back down. Its a bit of a dance, for sure. Feet on the sides of the ramp. Ive done it lots of times with no issues. Easier to get down, than up. I have a rider backrest that I push against, to help get it back down. With no backrest, may be more difficult.

[@jeremysherrill9931]

If the chock is in/on a trailer, everything is much easier than riding it onto a lift.

[@Hdsfttailman]

Hey Dude! New lift owner here. I have two heavy bikes......Ultra and Road Glide. Ultra is the bike I'm working with......got it lifted.....but that Safety bar was bending/bowing. Do you get that? Thank you!!!! Rick

[@jeremysherrill9931]

A little bit of a bend but its not gonna shear that rod off

[@Hdsfttailman]

@@jeremysherrill9931 thank you!!!!!!

[@nasirjonez730]

Jo what size drill bit and bolt dod you use

[@jeremysherrill9931]

Dont remember, honestly. 3/8 probably good. Use some washers also. 😀

[@eb1941]

Thanks for posting. Great lift for the money. I use the same wheel chock to park my bike on the floor. It takes me some effort to get the bike out of the chock. Have you had the same experience?

[@jeremysherrill9931]

Yes, I agree. My bike has a back rest, which gives me something to push back against. I am sitting on the bike, and ride on. Then, Push off of ramp with engine off, while sitting on bike. I also use the front brake and try to hold my position on the chock, so it doesn't roll back forwards again. I also have added tread tape, to the ramp , to keep bike from sliding backwards, when Im using the front brake. Once its on, and in the chock, its really secure, even without straps.

@@jeremysherrill9931 I'd love to see that actual back-out process from that chock in a video. I have that chock sitting on that table out in my garage... I'm ancient now and have concerns about doing this as well as back in the 1800's when I was young.

[@jeremysherrill9931]

@@xrm1996 unfortunately no way to video it. Its not an easy feat. Are you mounting it to a lift or trailer?

[@jeremysherrill9931]

@@xrm1996 if you have 2 people, you can sit on the bike and have someone pull the hairpin clips and pin from the part of the chock that flips up. Once that piece of the chock is removed, the bike just rolls off. Otherwise, it can be a pain the the ass.

@@jeremysherrill9931 Hi Jeremy.. thanks. I'm putting it on my HF lift table... CB1100 most of the time but KZ1000P's too. I really REALLY hate being old:)

[@andgem8072]

Will that wheel chock fit the 160 front on a fat boy?

[@jeremysherrill9931]

It should. Its tapered

[@JoeL-tv9id]

Should be all Harbor Freight has is the 69904.

[@dalewiarda51]

Where can I get a wheel chok like that

[@trashman4373]

Harbor freight too.

[@rickphillips3970]

I just bought the same wheel chock My question is do you have a trick to take the bike off the chock by yourself I am waiting for the same lift to go on sale. Can you show me how you bolted the wheel chock to the ramp Great video thank you

[@jeremysherrill9931]

Hello. I just put the chock on the lift, butted the black bar at the front against the front of the lift, marked and drilled holes in the lift where the holes in the chock were. Then just bolted it down. I drive my bike up on it. Chock supports bike by itself. Then, to take bike off, i hop on the bike and just pull back a few times, keeping my hand on the front brake. I have a rider backrest, which gives me a little extra something to push back against. Its not easy to get the bike off the chock, but not too hard either. Thanks-Jeremy

[@Hdsfttailman]

I have this exact same wheel chock.... ...i could NOT get the bike out of that chock when the upright was all the forward in the 6th hole. I moved the upright closer to the rocker......now in #3 hole. WAY EASIER. I can get it out by myself. 2016 Ultra with back rest. Not as tightly locked in as #6 hole......needs to be strapped.....but it stands on it's own while you strap. Remember.....this chock is for 15" to 22" wheels........so.....do the math and see which hole you should be in.

[@jeremysherrill9931]

@@Hdsfttailman I never strap mine unless Im removing wheels. Chock holds it perfectly.

[@charlemarcharlemar2401]

Christ , another one..... turn the damn phone horizontally and film.

[@jeremysherrill9931]

Thanks for the tip. I really do obsess over making sure everything is perfect for everyone..... 🤔🙄🤣
