I used to have a lovely bike lift that went under the Harley and allowed me to raise it over a foot off the ground with both wheels airbourne.

Can you get jacks for the Bonnie and is there good clearance under the frame to jack it up?

Sears, around $90, works great on the Bonnie.

Yes. Most of us here have them. I got mine at Kragen for $50. Others have found them many places, but they seem to all be from the same manufacturer with minor differences. Craftsman has the only one thats very different being made of aluminum for around $150. Nice for the lightness, otherwise save $100 and go with the steel ones.

I just bought the aluminum Sears Craftsman one and think it is great even though it was one sale for $149. Tucks out of the way easily since the handle comes off and is only 44 lbs. so it moves well. This one works more like a traditional floor jack with handle control instead of foot control which is something I like better. The cheaper ones, besides the weight, seem too complicated.

This looks ideal, and the price is right, but we dont have a Sears in the UK. :evil:

Anyone know of the equivalent product in the UK

I'm not sure what else you've seen, but the only ones i've seen as well as mine also have a removable handle and no foot control.

Try MachineMart - a bloke who I work with rates his from there highly.

Else go to a classic bike show and you can get one delivered.
