The work stands/lifts/whatever you want to call them are on sale again...299. I finally pulled the trigger, and bought one. Tired of leaning over all the time. Get 'em while they're hot.

I'm probably going to put one of their front wheel chocks on it in place of the wheel vise which isn't much good. Then I'll move the strap loops closer to the front. It'll be really good then. Funny how buying something new gives you enough motivation to actually do a little work. :lol:

That's exactly what I did Lane and it makes a nice improvement. I've had mine for 10 years with no issues whatsoever. Always a bike on it too.

Harbor Freight website is showing the 1000 pound motorcycle lift at $429.00

Where did you see the $299?

Do you have a link?

Good for you Lane :thumbup: Probably the single best thing I ever bought for motorcycle work, like many I waited too darn long to get one.
