Awesome product presentation. I can already see myself breaking the spring if you did not mention it in this video. Thanks for sharing

After your last demonstration, I ordered a pit bull motorcycle jack. It is amazing how it lifts a Gold Wing like it's nothing. It beats those wimpy jacks that Amazon sells hands down. Thanks for the tip.

Nice lift MIke and an excellent illustration. I think I would strap it down every time to insure the stability! It looks great though. Thanks for the video! Ride safe my friend.

Thank you for this video. I just ordered a lift because I'm changing my own tires. Don't got time for a dealer to have my bike for over a week for 1 tire replacement.

I always enjoy your videos Mike and this one is no exception. It’s quite informative as it shows the viewer how the Pitbull lift can be used with the Goldwing. This video also reminds me of the very first video that I ever watched of yours which was the one about how to put the Goldwing on its center stand. That video, like this, had many different camera angles which allowed the viewer to really understand what’s was going on. Thanks again Mike for this video and keep up the excellent work.

Thanks for the video. I'll get a Pitbull lift one day. I currently only use the center stand.

Nice video! Nice jack! BEAUTIFUL Goldwing! I just LOVE your bike! Love the color and Love chrome and all tasteful accessories and necessities. Mine is a Black 2007 with lots of tasteful chrome with Ring of Fire front and rear and some lights too. Hoping to see you and your Goldwing at Wingding 42! NY Mike here! 😀

Have mine now 12yrs. No.problem what so ever great lift picks up my ultra with ease. Great product

Man that’s a great looking machine MM..I need me one of those lifts!🇺🇸👍🏻 great video

Great video Mike. Your spot on with the information. The following was not a Pit Bull lift. On one of my old lifts one bolt broke on the hydrlic unit and my wing crashed to the floor. The hydrlic unit is only connected by two bolts. Same on pitbull. Locks to prevent a drop were in place. They failed as the hydrlic unit lost base support. I think this was MY FAULT. Maybe the bolt was getting loose and I did not do my checks on my tool (the lift). Will never know but I take the blame. So peeps checks your nuts 😆. Again thank you Mike.

Dude you just gave me an idea how to build a platform to lift my smaller bikes on a lift like that! Ding!

What a great introduction and overall presentation of that lift. I’m newbie motovlogging and you are producing full feature films. Incredible! So happy I subscribe and follow your channel. Awesome work Mike!

Very nice lift . Bike is looking good. I do enjoy having a lift around. Granted I don't own this brand. Great video.

Thanks for a great video and advice. I will definitely consider this list before any others. Personal greetings from warm, sunny Florida.

Ahhhha. I finally found one I like, and the 18' adapter makes it a no brainer. Thanks for the video Mike.

Thank you MemphisMike, I got one for Christmas! Changed back tire with no problem.

Great Video Mike 👍🏿

Good video MM! I’ve got a drive on lift and a Craftsman lift that I picked up used for $40. The only thing I use the Craftsman for is changing the front tire. The pit bull looks like the bike is steadier Randy

Great demo Mr. Mike! I thought it was amazing how you jumped right up on the bike. And you are right you can't trust your bike to a cheap life and besides who wants to be killed when their bike drops on their heads. It is much better to spend the money and get well made in the USA stuff. Ride Safe

I have one and I love it. It is a great stable lift.

It looks like the link for pit bull is defunct. Is the company still around ? I just bought a Sears Craftsman motorcycle jack that was several years old as there are no new Craftsman jacks in any inventory anymore. I chose the old Craftsman because many of the current models are cheezed down on quality. The new ones have much less metal, and the designs have shrunk down the heavy gage main frame with less bracing and no metal around the front wheels. The Craftsman jack is a beast and weighs almost 90 lbs and is probably 10 to 30 pounds more than the Harbor Freight and all the other knock offs. So, this gave me the opportunity to buy the best at less costs and clean it up and refurbish it which I've done. I first sanded all the rust off the frame with small wire wheels and flap wheels on my drill. Then use Rust-Oleum (Rusty Metal Primer) on the whole frame followed by the Rust-Oleum Semi-Gloss Black brush on topcoat. The red parts I bought a spray can of "Cherry Red" Rust-Oleum metal paint and sanded down all the rust and sprayed that on. Next a lot of the hardware was working but looked bad - especially the Acorn Nuts used on all the pivot points. I bought new stainless Acorn Nuts and some lock and flat washers and got rid of all the rusty bits. On the platform top where the motorcycle sits, I replaced the rusty Acorn nuts with some stainless-steel lifting triangle shaped eyelet nuts. The Craftsman has all M12 heavy duty fasteners. The triangle (eyelets) can be attached to the bike at first contact and the bike will not go anywhere during the lifting process unlike the loops down on the base cannot be used until the bike is fully up in the air. I've posted the final assembly build and modified skid plate on a Kawasaki Versys X300 to allow it to be lifted up in the air. The video is on my channel - LINK: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZOFhH2zYQyM.html&ab_channel=trekOCLVone

It’s all well and good to get the motorcycle up high, but it’s practically impossible to do a three hole oil change and place the drain pan where it needs to go.

Thank Mike. I looked at both PitBull and J&S. Both were impacted by COVIT and did not have their products available. I went with the J&S with the Goldwing adapter both are great and J&S has a smaller footprint. Both cater motor to Harleys which do not have their exhaust pipes exposed s do the Goldwings. The 2018 plus under side fitment is different and it took some practice to find the sweet point placement. Pricing for either is expensive and wait times may be a bit lengthy. I ordered last Feb and took delivery in late June. Not sure about PitBull.

Really nice especially if you want to work on the wheels. I guess you would want to tie it down if you are going to pull a wheel...

Thank you for the details and response. I think JS lift is the way to go for GW. Safe riding

Love the Lift mate, even the car is an Honda

Thank you I appreciate your time

all lifts make me nervous. You just can’t have one style of lift. If you put your wing or similar motorcycle up on this type of lift, how do you get the faring off along the bottom. How do you change the oil, how do you take the exhaust system off, the side that the lift mechanism to operate the lift cuts off access to that side of the engine.ect.. if you have to remove the rear wheel, or the front end to do steering head bearings, now you have to worry about the machine becoming unstable/heavy on one end There is no one Jack/lift fits all. You have to have this type, a lift table, you also have to have the handiest lift I have found for lifting a machine like a Gold Wing or a Venture. On eBay search 1100 pound scissor lift. They cost under $50/with free shipping. there are a few different styles, search the selection on eBay and make sure you get the one with the two adjustable perches that adjust the perch for location to contact the frame and height of each perch so the bike lifts level. But one style of lift or Jack is not enough. Different jobs require different lifts..I have all three styles of lifts, and they all make me nervous .. I have a industrial grade handy lift table. The problem with that is, I have to pull the lift table outside to lift a machine like the Gold Wing or a machine with a windshield on it up high , Because the windshield will strike my garage door or my ceiling if I take it up too high... I have the style of the one in this video also, the problem with that one is, the mechanism is in the way on one side of the bike, and it is very hard to get the machine stable or to find a safe place to place the stand under the machine to do the lift. The style of Lyft that I have is actually the one I have not used for years. The stand I use most is the 1100 pound motorcycle scissor lift for under $50 I found on eBay. I think it weighs about 30 pounds. It is industrial heavy duty catcher. I think it gets the back wheel off the ground about at least 10 inches and maybe as much as 14 inches depending on the motorcycle. It is small enough that it will actually fit in the trunk of my Gold Wing ... I know this because I had to go on a mercy call to assist a friend who had a rear flat tire on his Harley, and we all know they do not have Center stands. I went to assist him in removing his rear wheel With my Lyft that I bought on eBay, and I carried the scissor lift in the trunk of my Gold Wing with no problem

When it comes to heavy bike you need a good lift. I've tried some cheaper jacks out there on other heavy cruisers and they are not safe. That Pitbull lift looks very much like the Handy brand one I have but the Pitbull has a few extras that I wish mine had.

For what I need, my Craftsman jack does great. No adapter needed for mine, a 1982 GL1100.

The website is no longer valid. Is there anywhere else you can get these?

Wow this is really good motorcycle jack 👍👍 can you use that for every kind of motorcycle?

Mike my word of advice try looking into a belly pan to invest into one pays off . on my 2005 I had it tottaled my bike because I didn't have a belly pan . I wish I did then..

That's a beautiful motcyle sir

Whole new meaning if someone comes over for a lift,

Well done! An informative review...who knew!

Thank you was helpful

Very good presentation and sharing, Thank you so much for this

I'm impresswd amd was thinking the bike would topple over.

Miss hearing from you MM!

Awesome job MM well done, thanks for the info

I had been using a craftsmen MC jack and could never find a good lift point underneath, i worried i would damage something, but after seeing this ive got to have this jack.

That a beautiful goldwing mike

Thank you

Mike the link to pitbull doesn’t work anymore. Have they go out of business? I wanted to check new prices. I’ve found a used one for $300. Not sure if that’s reasonable. Thanks for great videos!

Impressive

So MM when are you going to open your shop & service GW's?

I tried the Harbor Freight (Pittsburg) version. It wasn't pretty when it came down with my FLHTPI on it.

Nice 👍 tutorial.

Hi mike. Does the belly pans hav to be removed for this jack to set against the frame. Thanks

Love it mike

MM there had to be a little pucker factor when it started over just before the kickstand took hold

I have the J&S Jack. Lift arms same distance apart. About 4" less lift. But at max lift, the PitBull gets a little wobbly. The Harbor Fright is scary. Not made for 900 lb bikes.

Is pitbull still in business?

Question: Do you have to remove the belly pan?

Good luck finding this lift online. Must be a discontinued item.

MM is my hero. 👍

Checking it out!!!😎

Easy to change the oil? Thanks

Where is the gold wing you ride? That bike is so show room clean it clearly just sits around for looks…

So Mike I guess I would have to remove my belly pan for pit bull to work properly

Thank you for the video! So where's the best place to order the lift?

Are they no longer around? I tried the link and it show the domain is up for sale. I tried a web search and I can't seem to find PitBull.

MM, I see you have the heal toe shifter. Honda does not recommend them due to too much pressure that on the shifter fork in the transmission. Have you had any issues with the shifter arm being really loose and sloppy?

Hey Mike, I purchased a Pit Bull today. It is pneumatic as well as manual.. It has a turn table on it. Do you have any experience with these? Any advise? Thank you.

I like how it wheels around the floor. IMO, it will never be easy to clean a bike until I can stand under it.

Can jack the bike up with underbelly protector installed?

I have been waiting to buy a platform lift but I don’t want to take up space unnecessarily. I am thinking I will weld up a platform with a slight lift to roll up onto and strap down,.... then use the lift to pick it up higher to work on! I need to get my power hooked up for my welder!

Hey Mike... Hope all is well with you and yours. Question... Is your lift the "Air" or the "Manual"? Looking to get one for my F6B.

Hey Memphis Mike just wondering on the front of your stand (under the engine) does itt set flat or does it Rock a little bit on the motor just curious

I worked in a Honda motorcycle shop for 20 years .. We had 2 of these jacks even using the ties strap points it was VERY unsafe to use especially with a GoldWing .. Sure it lifts fine and looks good but you do not DARE do service on the lift , if you try to remove front or rear wheel on the lift I guarantee the bike will fall before your done ...

. Hey there Memphis Mike I had a question are the drain holes for oil and such available and accessible when it's on the lift and can you get a drain pan underneath those openings with with the motorcycle on the lift??

Where did you buy your jack from?

Is this lift good for Honda Goldwing Trike csc? If it is how is the price and who do I contact?

MM, it looks good even tho I've never been a fan of Pitbull. Check out J&S Motorcycle Jack. I do believe they have an adapter for the GW. As usual, u da man...

Will it block the third drain plug for oil changes?Or have you done oil changes with this lift?👊🏻

The URL isn't working :( Is where can I purchase one?

Had my Goldwing on my Pitbull stand just as yours is pictured and eventually the rear lift platform got cut up pretty bad by the center stand. Talked with Pitbull and sent pictures and pretty much got the cold shoulder. It is, however, a great stand.

So I could walk the Electra-glide down the street like a dog?

GOOD video MM ..... Hey, could you send some of that warm southern air up to us COLD bastards here in New England man ..... ???? "thanks" bro !!!

If you have a friend with a 2018 plus would you do a video with the new version especially is there access to the three oil drain plugs and the filter. I thought I saw an article stating the pitfall supports block this maintenance points. Will seriously consider if the new GW has a fix by pitfall. Checking web site.

it's such a huge price difference vs those other brands, it's hard to justify when your funds are very limited. I'm my motorcycle racing days, I used nothing but the pitbull stands... nothing worked as good, they have been making great products for many years. BTW I'm talking mid 90's to early 2000s Thanks for the great video.

hi great product. Du you ship to Norway?

You guys never show if the drain plugs are blocked

About the spring, can you just not position the Jack so that it doesn't stick out far enough to interfere with the spring? I have an $89 HF Jack that has been lifting my 950 lb. Bikes for the last 10 years with no issues. Have wanted to upgrade so as to be able to move it while lifted. My floor is smooth and painted but moving while lifted is nearly impossible. It looks like that Jack rolls very easily. Thanks for the great video.

So I should get the 10k lift

Mike where is your belly

If anyone doubts how clean this bike is , let me verify it is showroom shine all the time!!!

What are you doing? Lol

No way I'd trust that thing !

Can’t buy Pitbull no more
