Anyone own one? Would you recommend? It's on sale for 429 and I have a 20 percent off coupon and there just happens to be a store in town.....

I bought one a few years back that had the air lift. It will pick up a Goldwing slowly. You need to add side panels to make it wider or you won't have anywhere to put your feet or side stand. Also pretty wobbly. I gave mine away, just couldn't trust it.Member of the Hann-Amigo Trio

$429 with 20% off is still too much. I see them go on sale regularly for around $300 (as a matter of fact, I think they were on sale here over Labor Day for $300). I bought one for my VTX at $329, and used the 20% off. I tried it with the 'Wing, and would need an extension for the front to get the back wheel in the right position to remove it. It also very slow to lift. I would pretty strongly recommend a different lift for the wing.2012 Honda Goldwing | 2009 Timeout Camper

I bought the Harbor freight lift and it works very well for my wing. I added a wheel chock in place of the wheel vise that came on it. I also bought 2 pieces of lumber 2 x10 x 6 and 4 pieces 2x6x6 and used the 10 inch on top and 2 6 inch pieces for the legs then slide them next to the lift and it works very well for you to put your feet down while you ride it up on. It has a very strong safety bar the goes in to make sure it does not work down while it is up in the air. Works forme.Gary Loos from Ohio

I thought I needed a platform lift. I found that for 99 percent of work and repair a platform lift is a handicap. For instance you wish to do fork work, once up on that lift you still have to jack the front up. So why not just use something like a pit bull jack to begin with?
With most platform lifts you still have to invent something to support your feet and provide room to be stable while placing the bike on the lift and taking it off. Again just use a quality jack .

I'VE HAD ONE FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. USED IT TO LIFT THE WING SEVERAL TIMES. LEFT IT SITTING OVERNIGHT ON THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER ONCE TO SEE IF THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER COULD HOLD IT AND IT NEVER MOVED. ( HAD THE SAFETY BAR INSTALLED JUST BELOW THE JACKED LEVEL JUST IN CASE) I ALWAYS SET IT ON THE CENTER STAND AND PUT TIE DOWNS ON THE FRONT OR REAR PROTECTION BARS. BEEN HANDY FOR ME.We as a society will pay a price for allowing our government to control us. That price will be determined not by us but by the these same people that we elected and watched systematically ignore our constitution and destroy our republic.

I have the Sears yellow aluminum jack that I've used on my VT1300 but was unsure where to position the jack on my Wing. I've seen some pics of the rear leg under the center stand. Is that where the jack should sit? Any good pics?2013 Black F6B

Good jacks like the Pit Bull or J and S you do not even have to tie them down unless you just want to for safety(safety is always good) the others do wobble around a bit as they have a smaller footprint.
I just play with it a bit until it looks balanced and sometimes use automotive jack stands to support the bike also at least have them in place just in case.
