I haven't weighed, but assume the weight is distributed approx. 60/40.
If so, the front would be around 250#.
Ride safe, Ted

It is indeed Buckethead! :beerchug:
You can't do a center lift, nor do you need to if you get the HF lift. It's not advisable to lift in the center because of the exhaust system. You won't regret the HF lift.Ianz5150 said:connie_rider said:If you get something that could lift 300# or more, it should be plenty strong..

Yeah, I'm looking at the Japanese brand "Unit" C1010 lift gate. It will support up to about 380 pounds for $60.
I'm just thinking of different options for doing some work to the bike. If I go with the Harbor Freight lift, which center jack is recommended?

I was front row center at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in 2011 when he played there. Great show. Very loud!
Can you push the lift around with the motorcycle secured to it in the down position?Bud said:Well, I don't own one but there has been one in my garage for a pretty good while. It is a complete game changer when working on a bike. You might see them as low as $279, but $299 is more common. You won't regret getting a lift!

I got ya beat Ted. MY carpet came out of the Holiday Inn Express in Bedford, Indiana. So if I take a nap on my garage floor, it's ALMOST like staying at the Holiday Inn Express!! :nananana: :nananana: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:connie_rider said:The carpet in mine is old (reused) office carpet.
It is dirty, etc. and I replace it occasionally.
(ie; When I find some more old {free} carpet and/or spill to much oil).
The carpet makes standing on the cement floor a lot easier on the back, doesn't sweat in high humidity {I live in hot/humid/Houston}, and it deadens noise.
Ride safe, Ted
