no, i made something different, i do know some people that have that unit from HF and they liked it. 

here's mine;

 

here it is with the jack installed;



not as easy as the Harbour Freight unit, but i use mine mainly for when i'm working on my cycle, and for winter storage.  if you want something to put your cycle on and move it in your garage for more space, then the HF unit is what you want.

Got one...

First used to store a VStar 650 up against the wall of my one car garage. Works great! you can squirrel the bike away in tight areas.

I then used it to store a 2003 Valkyrie Standard against the wall of my one car garage. Worked great again! The Valk fits on it fine.

I did very-lightly strap down both bikes when they are on the dolly, but it was more for small piece of mind (or piece of small mind) more than anything.

Would absolutely buy it again.

I bought one- liked it, bought a second one for my son's 2000 Shadow... for storage it's great. You can push both bikes off to the side and tuck them in tight together and it really opens lots of room. Not too hard to move them around provided your garage floor is smooth and clean.  I drive right up on to my ramp when I come home from a ride. With a Valk, you will need to not install the stopping pins because you'll need every inch of space -the Valk is about the longest bike you can fit on it. If you have a 4 or 6 degree rake kit, I think then even the Valk won't fit. When fold up both end ramps after the bike is on the ramp, they squeeze up against the tire.   Also, if you ride dark side, the rear tire would be tight in the ramp, but I think it could work.   For the space they save in my garage, I love mine.  I got both of them on sale- well worth $59.

if you get the "motor cyclist" magazine there's always a 20% off coupon for Harbour Freight in the last few pages.  save yourself $20.
