Hey Chris...I was thinking about getting a motorcycle jack/lift...good video...I noticed you have a wheel balancer in your shop...I'm guessing you have a tire changer also...which brand do you use? dg
According to the jack manufacturer the lift is only rated at 1450 pounds, but you can contact Pitbull and ask for Marty to recommend a lift for a trike, I put their information in the description above. BTW Brother Cowboy uses a professional lift table to lift and service Sister Sue's Goldwing Trike.
@@chriscaliente5033 well I guess we're going to have to do some research and see if that Jack will live trikes that would be a good video thank you for the hard work
Where did you get your Jack eze I went to the pitbull website and they don't have it listed for sale. It looks like they don't carry it anymore or maybe they don't manufacture it anymore
I have a J&S hack which is a similar but smaller footprint. I gave. 2019 with their adapter which works will but caution when using either jack on the list 2017 Goldwings due to the exhaust configuration and chrome protective shields. Chris would like to see a demo on the new generation bikes overhand from one of your friend who has the newer bikes. Love your site and thank you for your sharing. 👍
Once you go Pitbull Jack, you won’t go Back 😂 good tips bro. I secure mine usually when doing a tire change with straps. Basic cleaning usually do not strap down. Can never be too careful tho!
I'm looking at picking up a used one for $200. Surprised they did not use a one piece solid axle to connect those two front wheels and spread the load to prevent flexing. Looks like each wheel is bolted to the corner of the frame. If I do buy this, I will see if I can connect those wheels.
watched your video ...good stuff. went and picked up a used one manual...spring on pedal return bad ...stretched...can ya tell me length of yours ...thanks
It looks like the link for pit bull is defunct. Is the company still around ? I just bought a Sears Craftsman motorcycle jack that was several years old as there are no new Craftsman jacks in any inventory anymore. I chose the old Craftsman because many of the current models are cheezed down on quality. The new ones have much less metal, and the designs have shrunk down the heavy gage main frame with less bracing and no metal around the front wheels. The Craftsman jack is a beast and weighs almost 90 lbs and is probably 10 to 30 pounds more than the Harbor Freight and all the other knock offs. So, this gave me the opportunity to buy the best at less costs and clean it up and refurbish it which I've done. I first sanded all the rust off the frame with small wire wheels and flap wheels on my drill. Then use Rust-Oleum (Rusty Metal Primer) on the whole frame followed by the Rust-Oleum Semi-Gloss Black brush on topcoat. The red parts I bought a spray can of "Cherry Red" Rust-Oleum metal paint and sanded down all the rust and sprayed that on. Next a lot of the hardware was working but looked bad - especially the Acorn Nuts used on all the pivot points. I bought new stainless Acorn Nuts and some lock and flat washers and got rid of all the rusty bits. On the platform top where the motorcycle sits, I replaced the rusty Acorn nuts with some stainless-steel lifting triangle shaped eyelet nuts. The Craftsman has all M12 heavy duty fasteners. The triangle (eyelets) can be attached to the bike at first contact and the bike will not go anywhere during the lifting process unlike the loops down on the base cannot be used until the bike is fully up in the air. I've posted the final assembly build and modified skid plate on a Kawasaki Versys X300 to allow it to be lifted up in the air. The video is on my channel - LINK: @
feel like I'm slackin.. I only have the manual pitbull jack that I got off of Facebook marketplace for a steal because dude wanted it out of his garage and was on a trike.

Not sure if they are in business anymore, it’s been a few years
is that lift picking up directly on the engine up front?

Can we pick up a 2018 -2022 in a similar manner . I'm impressed with that jack , it looks much stronger than the 99 $ jobs I've seen . Thanks !
I had the same jack. My son's borrowed it and said if I ever need it they would bring it back. Lol.
Chris I noticed the voltmeter on your front left speaker , wanted to know where you picked that up. Thanks!

Very nice setup chris,
My 21 has the chrome pipes on it which I don’t see in your video . I do have ride on/ off center stand definitely better than original.
As of 10 APR 2021, Pit Bull's website is down.
