OK, I answered my own question. I'd say "yes", unless I'm missing something. It looks roughly like the Sears jack. It should slide under the frame alright. But why is the guy sitting on the Harley whilst it's lifted on the jack. CIAO!! http://www.biketek.co.uk/Shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=27jh

Ok thanks John. As to why the guy is sitting on the bike whilst on the jack, not knowing, perhaps it's something Harley owners do.

Big guy on a big bike... They could have just written Good for 1500 lbs and we'd understand...

noticed the lift has wheels, they've probably airbrushed the bloke pulling it. It's the only way a harley can get from A to B.

Awright ye looking for a bike lift cheapest one around that a lot of the guys use is available in "Makro" dunno if ye have one near you. Need a retailers card but am sure you can get a friend or know somebody who has one. Last time we got a couple they were £42-00 + VAT well worth looking at.

It's been said before, but looks to me like all these jacks come from the same factory. I have a cheap one from Harbor Freight that looks just like that. I would say just shop around where ever you live and when you find the best deal go for it. Weather that be really cheap price or if you are a warranty person go for best price with best warranty.

The Sears Pro lift [Yellow/Aluminum] is a bit more money, but the quality is obvious.

The Sears yellow one costs almost 50% more. I'm sure it's a little better quality and lighter weight. But, if you're looking for a good lift, the $89. Sears one works great and you can pick it up at just about any Sears with no freight. It's even cheaper on sale.
Mine is now 3.5 years old, stays in my garage, and works like a charm.

My Harbor Freight jack is also about 4 years old and works like a charm too. It was $50 at the time.
