 Never seen it this low. If you want it now would be the time.


Coupon code: 70505216

Based on the research I've done, it's worth buying but that's just my conjecture...no FHE. If I wasn't strapped I'd pick one up.

where did you find the coupon? i think to use it in the store, you may need to have a physical or e-coupon.

Lemme know if that link works, otherwise I can forward to email to you if you pm me. But I've always read off the codes to the cashiers at HF and never been hassled.

Yes I know that's a mess, if I wasn't on my phone I would embed it properly.

Great price. I was able to get one a few years ago for $369.

The release valve for lowering it operates abruptly. First few times operating it can surprise you. No big deal so long as you are expecting it.

The front wheel chock is minimal at best. I had no confidence in it, so I made a more effective one.

I got a used one on Craigslist a few years ago.  I use the shit out of it, and have no complaints.   waytogo

And yes you'll want a better wheel chock.

The reviews I read affirm the quality of that wheel chock. Cheap enough fix. The reviews on HF's website are excellent and there is lots of info on YouTube about this lift as well.

Here's the coupon again.

I'm thinking you mean that the reviews confirm that the wheel chock is iffy? However I've seen people using it and they do not seem to be concerned. Having dropped bikes before, there was no way I was going to trust it so I fabricated a proper one.

One other item of note is that if your garage floor is smooth, the stand can slide forward as you try to roll a bike up the ramp. Maybe it was because my scrawny ass couldn't push it fast or hard enough. I drilled 2 holes in the table and garage floor for a couple of 5/16" rods to hold it in place until the bike is loaded.

And, as usual with HF stuff, the casters are poor quality. You can manhandle it around, but replacements are so much smoother.

I don't mean to criticize it, but it is minimal. Having said that, I do not regret buying it and have used it quite extensively for several years.

Correct, that should read; "the (poor) quality of (the chock)." Overall consensus around the web is pretty much consistent with what Old 'N Dumb says. I wouldn't be surprised if the quality is in line with lifts that cost $5-$600. Seems like a very solid value and a no brainer if you're a weekend warrior type.

Right on Staggerlee! Is that an "inside track" or whatever their club name is coupon? I've been considering signing up for that.

Nope, just an ad that was in the back of a moto magazine.
