    Bike lift

    I was looking to get some opinions on a bike lift for an 04 fat boy and 4 wheelers. I have seen pit bulls advertised and they look like a pretty sturdy jack and stand. Anyone have and pro's and con's or other idea's. Thanks

    I'm not a big spender like Nitram. Mine was on sale for $79.99 at Sears. Five years old, use it 4-5 times a year, good as new now, never any problems with it.

    I have been using the Harbor Freight one like Nitrams' for 6 years and have used it a lot.

    I recently bought one of those new lifts from Harbor Freight that lifts your bike 30 inches. It lifts my Ultra just fine but I got to tell you when it does it's pivot and has that big bike hanging out there on the forks it makes me real nervous, so I haven't used it but once.
