I love the bike! Very unique color.

Very glad I watched this. I was about to buy one. If the Harley barely fits then I'm almost positive that my Triumph Rocket III won't fit at all. Total length is 97" and hub to hub wheelbase is 70"(my measurements, not advertised specs). You saved my over 100 bucks and kept me from wasting assembly time, thanks very much.

cool to see the concord Purple! good info

I noticed you didn’t move it around your garage. I bought one a few years ago and could not move my street bob at all once loaded. Wondering if I can replace the casters with better ones.

Mine doesn’t roll too terribly bad, but you have to kind of walk it around if by your self. I’ll probably upgrade the casters over the summer to a hard polyurethane style. www.mcmaster.com/4778T51/ is what I had in mind.

That Purple! Have you checked out Seven Sins Choppers UFO Galaxy Grips and Ignition Wire?

I have not until just now… WOW thanks for the tip, I need new grips!

I owned two of these. I gave them away for free and I regret placing the recipients of them in danger. These dollies are dangerous. In principle, they're a good idea, especially to conserve garage space. In practice, the HF design has critical flaws. I wrote an honest review on the HF website and they deleted it. The first flaw is that the casters are too small in diameter. One of my motorcycles weighs well over 700 pounds. When loaded on the dolly, the smallest debris or concrete gap will stop the dolly. You have to be very careful pushing the bike to avoid tipping it to get it moving. Unless the garage floor is very smooth, this thing is both scary and cumbersome to move. The second flaw: the material is structurally marginal. The kickstand platform developed a crater and you can feel the platform bend under the weight of the motorcycle. The bike sways as you push it. Also, and third, the kickstand location barely accommodated the kickstand location on one of my motorcycles. The kickstand just barely fit on the pad. Additional side stand mounting options could easily be included. These flaws are tolerable. Worst: the brakes designed to keep the dolly from moving as you ride the motorcycle onto the dolly are extremely dangerous. When you ride your motorcycle onto this dolly it needs to be immobilized. If the dolly moves while you're driving onto it you can get hurt. Think about it. If you can just flat-foot your bike on the street, when you roll up on the dolly, your feet are elevated an additional 2 inches. When that dolly starts rolling under you because of the defective brake design, you've got to get your feet down to stop the dolly and your bike. That is hazardous, especially since the dolly can move sideways. I dropped my 700 pound bike on a fully restored 68 Roadrunner because I trusted this dolly. My martial arts training prevented me from serious injury. I gave those dollies away after that. I think this product can be useful and safer if you have a smaller, lighter motorcycle. I also think it can be substantially improved. I would begin by having a design that lays flat on the ground for loading with bottle jacks, or worm screws to elevate it for moving it around. Larger wheels would also help. This is a good video to introduce the product, but anyone buying it needs low deductible, paid-up bike and health insurance.

All valid points… thanks for your honest commenting!

I easily walked my 2010 Harley Roadglide up on to the Dolly. All good.

Can I ride my fat boy on to it ? .Not keen on walking it anywhere. Lol

I bought one of these and when I raise one side, then go to the other side and raise the dolly lowers the first side back down.

With out having two people it will always knock one side up- meaning one end is on the casters. My bike is 550lbs. I found it strange that no one else mentions this. I will have to figure something out because I cannot return this thing.

​​@@lkeirnan glad I saw this as I wanted one for my fat boy , but I can't get my wife out every time I want to take the bike off it or put it on it. I am looking for one I can ride on to and ride off of on my own.

Any idea what your wheelbase is?

Put my 2011 Fat boy on one. Took all I had to move it. The wheels are way too small.
