MotoMaster Motorcycle/ATV Jack, 1500 lbs 50% off- Any good?

I have one that I bought used. Hasn't lived an easy life but works perfectly fine
 
Had one till it got stolen, worked well, now have the same version, except it is from Princess Auto they have them on sale a few times a year. I paid $49.99 for mine have had it going on two years last season my 850 lbs cruiser sat on it all winter, with no issues.
 
Had one. Attempted to use it once. Found that for the Shadow you have to rig up some type of extra thingy so the bike sits on it properly. I'm not that handy. Sold it to a fellow GTAMer. I believe it is working fine for him.

Seems like they've been selling those forever, every once in a while at half price. I've got a couple and they work fine. I notice this one has a handle affair, all the others have had foot controls. Different design? Supplier? Anyway, if the quality is consistent from before, it should serve you well for a long time. Just make sure it works for your application. Sometimes you need to rig up some kind of wooden block affair to interface with bottom of bike. Discretion is the better part of valour in that department. Actually in most departments.
 
Had a similar unit to that (also from Canadian Tire) - 'Blackjack' brand. Worked well. Exhaust on the Sportster is lower than the frame so you may need to add a wooden block or let the frame sit at the edge. I sold it and acquired a smaller screw type jack, similar to this: _http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/1-100-lb-atv-motorcycle-lift-table/A-p8133910e just to save garage space. Less stable though, but again, wood blocking when needed saves the day.

What they said. I, however, already said it. But I called it a "thingy". Just call me 'lowbrow'.

The CTC version fits the Sportster perfectly. My jack is about 8 years old now, not a single issue.

The hydraulic jacks have a ratchet system that locks the lift. I've read of a few failures of the jack part, but the lock keeps the bike lifted, giving you time to fix or replace the jack piece.


With the thin scissors jack, I blocked the front part of the frame to stabilize the bike once I removed the rear tire. With full Harley fenders, you have to get the bike pretty high to get the wheel/tire out of there... I also used the scissor jack when I trucked the Heritage down to NC this last March - lifted the rear wheel off the tailgate...

This will not work without modification on sport or standard bikes where fairings or exhaust are the lowest things in that area of the bike, and are hardly strong and stable surfaces for the bike to rest upon.
 
Never jack under unknown surfaces. This is especially pertinent to VW beetles circa 1954-1973.
