I have been looking at these units for a while now.  I went by Harbor Freight to take a look at the "table" type lift, but they do not have them on display.  $300. is very inexpensive for a lift of this type.  I am a little concerned about the stability of this particular lift.

The third lift mentioned...

I have my doubts that will work well with the Hayabusa because making contact with frame locations under the bike while avoiding the exhaust could be an issue.
thats the lift i bought...works fine......think i paid 300 or so
yep me too. i got the red one and for the money u cant beat it.

The Harbor Freight lift was a bargin I couldn't pass up for under $300. With over two years of usage and no problems.

I've heard the harbor front wheel clamp blows donkey nutz so if you get the harbor lift to buy the $100 handy front wheel clamp.

If the Harbor lifts are that good I think I will jump on one with a Handy clamp....Does anyone know if a Condor or Baxter wheel chock will fit on the lift? And can I make it semi permant on it? Like maybe with an extra trailer mount kit?

I took the clamp off my Handy lift and installed a Condor chock. It works like a charm. No longer have to worry about holding up bike and turning things to steady the bike on the lift. Need this kind of stuff when by yourself.

And by the way--I have the Handy clamp boxed up; if someone wants to pay shipping they can have it.

The stock front wheel chock on the H/F does suck !! I removed mine and just use my rear stand when I need my machine to stand upright.

i think harbor freight is the way to go. It looks to be the best bang for the buck and looks to be solid cept for the front vice.
