Beyond that it's a satisfying jack.
It lifts my 900 pd Harley with ease!
Edit. Have to change my review to 1 star. Jack lasted 2 months before it wouldn’t lift the arms, let alone a motorcycle. I am waiting to hear back from OTC customer service. I also bought the 3 year warranty, so we will see what transpires. Stay tuned.
Edit 2. If you do decide to buy this jack, buy the Asurion Warranty coverage.
Edit 3. Changing my review to 4 stars.
OTC finally replaced the jack, but communication with them is frustrating.
I talked to their tech service this morning and they are sending me a kit with all the washers and clips.
The first problem I ran into was the two bolts that hold the handle in place stripped out and did not hold the handle on very well. Since I am used to using the handle to pump the lift, I completely stripped the bolts off. That was no big problem. I locked the bike in place, moved it to its new storage location and then drilled out the holes in the frame and handle bracket. Bigger bolts, lock washers and nuts permanently resolved that problem. I think the design should have used nuts and bolts to begin with.
It was my own preference, but I picked up some heavier tie-downs at Harbor Freight. With a bike as expensive as a Gold Wing, I just didn't want to take any chances.
Except for the minor issue discussed above, this lift is every bit as good as motorcycle lifts costing considerably more. The quality seems better than the cheaper one at Harbor Freight (I try to buy at HF whenever possible, but I check quality first). If you are working on a big bike, do yourself a favor and cut a 2"x4" into four 2"x4"x4" blocks. It can be a pain to center a bike and avoid the exhausts and center stand if you are working by yourself. Line the lift up while the bike is on its sidestand, place the blocks in place on the lift and slowly lift it. Make adjustments as necessary. After you have done it once, you will know exactly where to position the lift.
It's not to hard to figure out how it goes together and if you cannot figure it out perhaps you should not be working on motorcycles in the first place
There also was no operation manual but once you get it together it's pretty obvious how it works.
The bottle jack on mine was a tough fit as the holes were just a bit off too. As noted by others, the bolt that secures the pump pedal to the bottle jack is threaded into very thin pipe and is pretty useless. Mine stripped the threading before I got close to getting it tight. I did call the tech end of the company noting that mine stripped out and that it's just not sturdy enough and suggested just drilling the pipe out and including a longer bolt and nut with it. They made note of it.
As others said, just hit the hardware store and get a longer bolt, drill on through the other side of the pump handle and put a nut on the other side of it.
The handle to move the bike around has a questionable mount in my opinion but if you want to move the bike around once it's strapped down just push on the bike, it's not a big deal
Of note, this is a large platform for biker bikes. My 650cc barely fits on the very large platform but it's very sturdy when it's in place.
Of note the free shipping made this worth it as it's very heavy at around 80# or so and the normal shipping would have been almost $50.
