Just got a repco bike llift and with a slight mod to fit under the 2007 fatboy I pretty happy with it.  Am just wondering re the shockers under the bike.  I would imagine that I shouldnt put any stress on these?  Reason I ask is that if I want to lift the rear of the bike more than the front then I obviosuly need to push the bike lift further to the rear of the bike.  Other problem is the shocker hang down lower than the frame.  I hear you say why not just lift the wholw bike up??  I suppose that is a fix but am curious as to my enquiry.  Also I am a bit paranois with the bike up in the air.  Would hate something to go wrong and the bike come down.  Has anyone that has one of these lifts had any issues with them?  Have attached a pic for reference.  

 

 

I haven't got the problem with shocks lower than the frame , (I have a tourer).. My advice would be to, tie the bike down to the lift with tie down straps ,, and make sure the two screw down bolts are screwed down tight to the floor ... You then will be ok to lift the bike higher , and confident working on your bike.. Gee , those forks came up a treat !!! Cheers.

I've got one identical to yours. Just make sure you tighten your bike down with the stap supplied. Use a second strap if you want to be extra sure. I've had no problems so far, done a few oil / primary/ gearbox oil changes with it. Just have to make sure you get it right on the balance point of your bike though. It's quite handy to shift your bike into a tight spot in your garage too.

I have the same lift and a 2008 fatboy. I have always thought about the shocks as they protrude below the chassis a little but have always lined up the left lift arm with the brace 'in front' of the shocks and not had an issue with balance at that point.
I did a fork fluid change that way with both forks and front wheel off the bike and to make sure it didnt fall back used a trolley jack under the back wheel. For the 3 fluid changes the lift is excellent and makes life so much easier.
Just make sure you always allow the stoppers on the lift support the bike on either of the 3 settings and you will be fine.
My only worry has always been if up on the lift and the jack fails, how do you get it off there when locked into the stopper stage!

Thanks for the input, Im probably just a bit paranoid and thanks markwoumla Im very happy with the forks. Still got one to go, it was worth the effort.

I have the same lift have had it for years ,use on all sorts of lift jobs not just Harleys but about two years ago I got Harley haven
to throw in the orange frame lift kit that Harley make with one of my orders , I should of looked at getting one when I got the
lift ,makes it so much more stable and now sits on the frame not the shocks for the $30 bucks I think it was
its a good investment I even use the lift pads on my bikes when there on my lift table too

Im not familiar with the frame lift kit you mentioned perthog, I do however also have a service lift kit made from tubular steel, you put it under the bike and pull back on the handle and it raises the bike off the ground, front or rear depending on where you place it under the frame. I got it from a guy here in Geelong but I didnt get around to using it before I got the Repco one. Its a simple device but not sure its all that safe.

just had a look for the part number but came across this one my kit was slightly different but gives you the idea of what I am on about
98965-99 is a dyna kit my kit came with two long orange ones than I just cut them in half to suit my bikes

 

 

and thay will colour match your lift lol

Na no pic cant do the link thing just google that part number

Thanks perthog and FatRob, got my head around it now. i actually had to lower the lifting arms a little on mine so i could fit it under the bike. Fairly easy, all I did was drilled the holes in the arms a little wider and it allowed the arms to sit just that little lower so I could fit it under. All seems good now as I have used it a couple of times.

that's them thanks fatrob for posting the pics jeez binnsy your bike must be low to have to mod the lift I don't use the the black spacers
just the orange ones the bikes feel a lot more stable when you use them

no idea could have a lowering kit on the rear shocks rely low to the swingarm been modified (cut and extended where the shocks bolt too)
old schoolway before lowering kits

I had the same problem and made up some polly blocks to sit under the frame works. Treat. I just have to roll the bike onto a riser block first as my bike is lowered. I have heaps of polly left you anyone needs some. I'm in brisbane north.
