the harbor freight one i had sucked cuz the klx sits a little lower than a regular bike so u dont have much leverage on the arm mechanism. u have to pick up on the bike as much as you can and push on the arm. the arm on mine bent after like 10 uses. i wouldnt buy another

That's the same experience I had with a step-type lift. It required all my weight just to get it lifted, then the arm bent after about three times of lifting the bike. Right in the trash.

The jack I got is pretty awesome. Was $170, but worth it.

Hmmm..This thing fits tight under the bike,but I don't think the arm will bend it's 1/4 in steal and I have no problem lifting the bike with one push on it,up it goes,and like I said I had to tweek it,but so far is sweet...
