    Just got the latest Repco catalogue in the mailbox and they have put the Pro Lift on special for $119, from the 28th.  It's the one with the 680kg capacity...

     

    I will be first in line on Thursday...

    Wow Ghostwolf, thanks for the review. Shame its not for you but it happens.

    Mine goes under my Sporty no problem and I have seen no issues so far with the height locks although I've only done a few test lifts. I fucking hope that it goes under the new Fat Bob when it gets here next week!

    My only concern/issue is that it didn't come with a front wheel receptacle of some kind, but I have a mate working on a fix. I say issue, but it does all I want it to and you can't really complain for $120...

    Don't know what the "jeeze" is about - tried to provide some useful info for potential buyers - sorry for trying to be helpful, mate!
    posted by ghostwolf...No need to get all defensive friend Im sure you think you are doing a service ,keep up the good work! people can either take it on board or dismiss it , but I'm sure there are a host of bikes up to the 400kg weight category it is perfect for...

    I picked one up for my 09 FLHTCU. Works a treat and is very solid. Need to work out the exact balance point but it's not too hard.
    Makes it a dream to clean.

    I'm sure at $118 they are making a fortune on them.

    just thought I'd share...

    Stroke of genius today whilst asking the blokes at work how much capacity the small hydraulic lifts we have in our workshop can hold.... As I'm in need of a lift/jack to change out my shocks.... Unfortunately there only 150 kilos....BUT.... why don't I just use the forklift!

    Its not going to help me when cleaning etc, but be damn handy for the bigger jobs! :)
