Craftsman floor jack. All one piece. Rolls around. Don't have to get on your knees to operate it. Foot pump and lock in place. Never falls. Wash my bikes on it all the time. Got mine for $60 on sale.

Same here. Best purchase ever.

The most important thing is to get it up...after that it's easy...

Good review as usual, thanks. For me, my modified Craftsman jack has worked just fine for the last nine years on my FXDC for maintenance and storage.

Thanks Motorman and Camera Girl. I store my bike off site in a heated facility so don't have much need for the dolly. A jack might be useful for doing oil changes.

Nice too see you made it through the storm! 👍

Good review. Thanks. The Lets Roll commercial makes it looks easy. I have a H-D center stand that is good for cleaning the bike, but the wheels are on the ground. Also, no jack works with the center stand on. I tried with a Sears Yellow Jack and after two hours of trial and error I quit and sold the jack. I did take off the center stand and got the bike up on the jack, but it wobbled too much for my liking, so I chose to stick with the center stand and sold the jack. Ride safe.

An impact wrench would probably be strong enough to lift it. Take one of Donna's old nail polish bottles and put a small visible dot where the tape is on the frame. It will last a lot longer, and won't be conspicuous. Jayman...

Thank you. I was thinking about getting one but will wait

Jerry you always on point!👍

Looked as if the RF caster didn't want to turn when you were pushing it forward.

Thanks Jerry

Like the idea of using tape marks to mark the balancing point of your bike.

Looks like it would be a decent product for storage during the winter. I'll be putting mine in storage sometime in November when the weather really changes. For me, if we get the occasional fluke day where it's 40 degrees or higher during the winter months, I'll take the bike out for a stretch locally. So fighting that dolly every time seems like it would be a pain in the tail.

a J&S jack does it all .. I have had one for years now .. easy to use, when lifted keepers will keep the bike raised for ever .. move ability is simple, secure and safe. I'd highly recommend you try one (if you don't have one already hiding in you garage someplace).

I have an old MC hydraulic jack I use for everything. If you want to leave the MC in the air ,it has safety catches that stop it from dropping more than a few inches. Only bad part is , it takes up a lot of room on one side of the MC.

@@motorman857 Was going to say mine has catches too but I never rely on it too.

I have a hydraulic jack similar to the one you showed in the process of reviewing the jack/dolly combo. I use mine to lift the bike in the center which lifts both tires off the floor with a couple pumps-less than a minute. It only moves perpendicular to the bike (sideways), but let’s me swing it 180° in a one-car space and park it out of the way of the car. That way I can pull straight in, park it with the jack, and pull straight out next time I go riding. The bike is very solid on the hydraulic jack with no tie down straps. The hydraulic jack also has a mechanical stop if I’m working on it, so it doesn’t depend on hydraulics to hold for a length of time. I don’t store it on the jack, however. It only took me 2-3 tries to find the balance point. I just line up a point on the engine case with the edge of the jack. Works for me!

I have a couple suggestions for you to review. Wheel Dock wheel chock and Motomover motorcycle dollie.

I'll stick to my J&S jack. Wheel it under one of my bikes with the long handle option, jack it onto the safeties and release the bottle pressure. I could leave it there, safely, all winter if needed. It beats crawling around on your knees with that scissors jack!

I ordered one last weekend and it arrives today. Hope it works. The Ad says 2 minutes to lift. Doesn’t sound like happens that fast…

Once you get it centered and mark it for the next time, and if you use a drill, I can see just a few minutes to get it up on the dolly.

Unfortunately, he sold it. Have you contacted Lets Roll and asked them?

Looks like it would only work with a more forward mounted kickstand type of bike. The kickstand on my Lowrider is more to the center of the frame. I have a J&S type of jack that works really well with anything.

I bought the HF ATV jack 20 years ago for my 02 GW. Used it once and sold the wing. Now I have a Valkyrie and use it constantly. The rear wheels are casters, so I can maneuver pretty good. It has stops on it, so I can work on the bike worry free and store it. Downside is, it’s heavy and and awkward to store it. Sure is handy though. I like the dolly jack, it looks very stable compared to my HF.

Ah that is annoying it's so tough pushing forward on the dolly. Weird how it has that problem. The black Dolley Jack looks good otherwise. Btw - Would be good to see a demo of the yellow jack and how you use it if you can.

40 minutes!??! It takes me less than 5 to get mine jacked, on the dolly and the jack removed. Use an impact driver on the jack.

Once you know where the jack goes so that it lifts the bike equally, the procedure goes much quicker. And if you don't plan on using the dolly, it works even faster. But so does my Craftsman jack and no tools needed. This is a great product for someone who needs to move the bike around the garage, or if you are storing the bike for the winter. But as far as just lifting the bike up for a detail, the standard motorcycle jack is more efficient.

I failed the sills test at a H-D dealer because I couldn't shift from 1st gear to 2nd gear due to the nerves in my left foot being destroyed by a medical condition. I asked if I could take the test with a bike equipped with a heel-toe shifter, and they said no. Really?

I just bought one of these. I can't figure out how place the jack so the dolly actually can slide under and not interfere with the kickstand. 2023 Heritage Classic 114.

I use it on my 2023 Low Rider S without interfering with the kickstand. Have someone hold the bike straight up the first time so you can see where to position the jack.

What about changing three hole oil change is it good for that ….

You could use it for that but you'll need an oil receptacle that fits between the legs of the dolly. I have the H.D. oil catcher and it's too wide to fit underneath the dolly.

I have a Hydraulic Jack that I can just slide under the bike and foot pump it up within seconds. Spins in any direction effortlessly. I can jump on the bike while it’s on the Jack and it won’t budge. Pricey, but worth it.

I almost bought one until I measured my frame. I don’t have the 18” of frame that their website shows is needed on a 18 Fatboy behind the jiffy stand. Their website has a bike confirmation page that includes Softails but not specific enough.

It was designed to store a bike. It works well for that purpose.

No way it takes 40min to get it on the dolly once you have marked the spot! I just watched a guy do it on another video. He said something about you gotta give a bit of a pus to get the casters to move in the direction you want to push, which makes sense... he also said something about not over-tightening those top nuts above the casters or it's hard for them to turn... maybe that's what you did, cause he was moving the bike easily. I have no dog in the fight, this thing costs too much for me as I don't need the dolly for storage, I have a ton of room... just need something to jack up for oil change once a year.

Way to much work.......

I reckon the most affordable solution is one of these which are common on Ebay: i.ebayimg.com/images/g/cPkAAOSwjG5eJtpM/s-l500.jpg If anyone already has the lifting jack, they should be able to get the tray on wheels separately. These things are well made and well priced.
