Craftsman has a sale on their aluminum motorcycle lift. Anyone use one? I am looking for a good stable lift but have no clue which to go for. Thanks | ||

I'm not familiar with a Craftsman aluminum lift, but I have a steel one from Craftsman. I think I paid about $70 a couple of years ago. Wish I would have bought it a thousand years ago! That thing is awesome... very easy to use, and handy for more than just lifting a bike. Right now I have it being used as an engine stand. | ||

Is it one of these? http://www.sears.com/shc/s/search_10153_12605?keyw ord=motorcycle+lift | ||

I have the "cheapie" red one... works great. | ||

Mikej yes those are them. I thought I saw a 100 dollar price tag on the aluminum one but I need to double check. | ||

I am a cheap-o. Here's what I use....I picked up a scissor jack from the salvage yard, welded a 1/4" x 2" plate to the lifting plate on it and bolted a piece of 2x4 to the 1/4x2 bar. I grooved the 2x4 to cradle the muffler. works good. I also built a wheel chock with arms for tie downs to hold the bike vertical while the jack is under it. I built the wheel chock wide enough to hold the front or rear tire and tie down to either the passenger pegs (for front lifting) or the handlebars (rear lifting). Got about $25 in the whole gig. |
