The looks like the Sears big red. I think I paid around $130. I keep the bike on the lift all the time. Unloads the springs.

I don't know if this is the "right lift", but it does the job. Redline   |

Well obviously it can pick up a Valkyrie. But my guess is it needs an adapter like the one that you can build out of wood --see link on the shoptalk page. I just went down to Harbor freight and got theirs (also 1500 pounds) for 99 bucks. |

Larin. Yep, I have had that one from almost the beginning of Valkyrie ownership...year 2000. I use it with the Spoonland adapter. I do like this blue one though. Looks a little more practical for getting underneath the bike as most of the lift is out of the way. And very envious of the yellow one. |

That's a good one if you want to hang your Valk on the wall for the winter.  |

The HF and Larin lifts are made in China. They use mild steel which is soft and flexes a lot under a load. Some guys on the Wing board have had bolts break and had to replace them. I have a lift no longer made but uses cold rolled steel and lifts both my Tourer and 05 Wing with no problems. J&S and Pitbull make the only lifts I would use now. Craftsman has a $200 aluminum lift that I used once. It was impressive and didnt flex.
