Side by Side Comparison of: Rage Powersports vs Torin vs Motion Pro

This is a heck of a product. I bought it not for my motorcycle so I cant address its usefulness in that regard. I needed to install dual ovens to replace my old ones. The ovens weigh 325 lbs and needed to be picked up a foot or so to fit in the cabinet. Worked like a charm and saved me a $375 installation charge quoted by a Lowes installer. Heavy construction. Can't believe they can build it for that price. Ran the lift up with my 18 volt Dewalt screw gun and it worked fine even with a heavy dual oven on it. Someday I;; try it on my motorcycle.

Heavy, does what is designed to do. Feel confident with this jack, no wobble, rigid.All I wish is that it had some sort of rubber like grip material on the bottom.I'll come up with something.Jim M

Works perfect for my 2009 Harley softail deluxe. I used it to get my wheels off the ground so I could check front-end free play. Now I will use it for leveling the bike for fluid changes. Very sturdy. Good buy. Make sure you pack the bearing with grease before use for easy turning.

I like this Black Widow Motorcycle Scissor jack stand. I used it on my 2003 Vulcan 800 and it worked fantastic. Easy to lift, there was at least one inch of hangover on each side, and I left my motorcycle on the jack stand over night without worrying that it would collapse. The rubber did tear and come unglued a little, but you have to expect that when you are gluing rubber to metal. I chose this product over hydraulic jacks that can be moved around on wheels as I do not have to worry about seals tearing and losing hydraulic pressure. Mechanical leverage works great and when I lift the bike, I put the bike where I plan on finishing the task. I do not place the bike somewhere and think, hmm I need to move this somewhere else out of the way. I will take this jack over any hydraulic jack any day of the week.

I finally found the right jack/stand for my 109. It’s made by Black Widow and goes for around $100 on Amazon. They had it shipped to my door in three days. It’s rated to 1,100 lbs which is 300 lbs more than I need. The bike is very stable once lifted. I sat on my bike and shifted my weight around without it moving. I was surprised at the stability after being lifted off the ground. I used a friends Craftsman Professional motorcycle jack to test it out on my 109. It seemed flimsy and the bike was not stable once lifted. My next option was to cough up about $700 for a PittBull lift. I figured I would take a chance, spend $100 and test it out for myself. It worked out very well. I ordered a second one to be used in conjunction with the first one I bought so the bike can be completely lifted off the ground if need be. One for the front and one for the back, $200 total. I’ve also found this jack very handy to use to simply park/store my bike. It works very well when placed under the bike and jacked up until the rear wheel just barely clears the garage floor. Now it’s stored sitting upright and balanced and stable.

I wanted to use it for a while before I wrote a review. On first inspection it seems very well made and rugged.I have been using it for a few days now, and done about 5 or 6 different lifts with it.First thing the instructions tell you to do is ad grease to the lift screw and the joints. The grease helps a lot, the first lift I did was without grease.It is very stable so far. I have jacked it all the way up and then shook it from side to side, with enough force that if it had been on the kickstand I think it would have flipped, with significant force that it should have fallen over but it barely moved. The stand did not sway at all. The bike moved a little but did not come even close to attempting to fall over.When closed it is compact enough that it takes up no room at all. It is about 3.5 inches tall and 9 inches wide and 15 inches long. Sits nicely on the bottom shelf of my supply shelves.All in all this so far is a great jack, my bike has been sitting in the air since yesterday with no straps holding it.I would recommend it to anyone I know. Wish I had bought the Dolly that goes with it.After 2 weeks of use.Found interesting Flaw in product, but not a catastrophic one. When I tested it at 15 inches up it almost did not move at all side to side.But when I was working on the rear of the bike I found that the Harley would sway 2+ inches front to rear of the bike or for the lift that would be side to side. The jack still seems heavy enough that it will not collapse.Also found that adding grease to the pivot points as well as the scissor screw lets me use my cordless drill to lift and lower the platform.

Must find proper balance point of bike when using this.

Use on a 2006 yamaha v star 1100 midnight custom works great.

Worked well. Lifted the front half first then moved it back 6 inches and lifted the rear. I have a 13 Ultra Classic.

As expected.

This lift worked great for my Triumph Bonneville. I used it to swap out the rear suspension and it worked perfectly. Looking forward to using this to clean and lubricate my chain quickly as well.My only complaint is that I didn't have a large enough socket to fit on the lift with my basic mechanics toolkit (my largest was a 13/16" spark plug and you need a 7/8"). But a large wrench worked fine, just took a little extra effort.

If you have a bike that sits a little to low, and that Motorcycle jacks w/wheels won't fit under , this is your answer. Great for raising bike up a little to make chain adjustments or clean wheels, would of giv'n it 5 stars , if it was a little wide, but just the same, a great jack, for the price, you can't beat it, and the quality is good as well, heavy gauge steel, well constucted, wish I had purchased one long ago ..

A bit flimsy for bikes at or above 500lbs. I would NOT trust it on anything bigger than a Dyna. After a warm day in the garage, the upper rubber matt slipped off of the plate and makes the bike slide around on the stand. Makes me worried that the bike will fall off, and leaves goo everywhere! I am an engineer in the motorcycle industry, and opted for this as an affordable option for home use. Works in a pinch, but next time I will go with the higher quality/price option.

Doesn't fit under the center of my 2009 Harley Sportster without having to take some extra steps using wood blocks so that I can re-position the jack once I get the bike high enough off the ground.Other than that, it works great. I would give it 5 Stars it fit under my motorcycle without having to get crafty.

If you are looking for something that is not complex to use and can get one side of a bike up...you have found the right thing. Trying to get a Harley touring bike up...as in both wheels up off the ground, is just slightly easier than picking your own parents at birth. It might be better on a sport bike or smaller bike, but if you want something that can get a touring class bike entirely up then I would look at something else.
