I need some feedback on if you have bought a Harbor freight lift table, what kind of modifications have you done to it? Leave me a comment in the section if you have any advice. Thank you for watching and hope to see you again!
Just frame the plate in 1/4 square stock . Underside. Wheel chock is a must. I made some 4’x 10”x8” benches that I put on each side when running my wing up by myself, makes it easier to get on/off.
Great purchase in my opinion. I’ve always had to sit or lay on the ground when servicing my bikes. I finally bought one of these lifts and I love it. I have made no mods to mine. I walk the bike up on the lift alone and strap it down, no issues. Once the bike is lifted, I rest the table on the rod as soon as possible. I feel like the two biggest negative reviews about the width of the table and the seals blowing out of the jack are based on expecting these lifts to be pro grade when they are actually built for the home shop guy like ourselves. When used as designed they need nothing. Has been a game changer in my life.
Hi Ken, I bought mine 3 weeks ago, and like you, that back plate leaves a lot to desire. Also put the exact same wheel chock on it and I have an Ultra Limited and am having trouble getting the front wheel out of the chock. I did add some side extensions for just loading, and unloading to keep it balanced. I am toying with the idea of grabbing me of the HF pneumatic 8 ton jacks in place of the hydraulic. Thanks for your post!
Great economical unit. Getting a good wheel stop for the front is a must for anything bigger than a sportster. Recently off Amazon, I got a $69 VIVOHOME Steel Motorcycle ATV Scissor Lift that I use with the lift sometimes. Very handy. I use my drill with a socket on it to run it up and down.
Hi Ken, just come across your channel and subscribed.. I have the same wheel chock and think it works great! I don’t have a lift but am thinking of doing the same as what you did when I purchase the lift!!
That’s a really nice lift, are you not telling us something? Going into business repairing bikes? Expecting a lot of repairs ? Displaying your bike? Hope all is well with you and Miss Linda 👍
I put my ultra classic on mine and never had an issue ...I also put a different wheel chock on mine from harbor freight. The gray chock that you bolt down
