Has anyone seen one of THESE (http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11195816&whse=BC&Ne=5000001+4000000&N=4001205%204294913749&Mo=6&No=0&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1&Sp=C) at Costco? My soon-to-be-built shop might need one. I found it linked on a KLR650 website, thought it looked neat.

Confusing - the copy says "air powered hydraulic" but he pic shows a hand pump.
Harbor Freight sells one for half the money, with a foot-pump hydraulic lift. Quite a few folks here have said they're happy with it.
Don't get me wrong. I have a serious Costco habit. But they don't always have the best prices.

I was more surprised that Costco sold a MC lift. Hadn't done any price comparisons since the shop I am going to build currently exists only on paper.

The picture shows both a manual handle and a small air motor on the end of the hydraulic unit. The description also states manual or air driven operation.

The Costco version is probably a four-pack that comes with a bonus set of jackstands shrink-wrapped to the side. :)

You can get a Handy Lift for less, that's much more versatile.

I looked a tthe Harbor Freight lift. I'd not want to put an 800 lb motorcycle on it, especially mine. My opinion only.

You mean like this?
I use the HF lift quite a bit, I like it. I have had my Venture on it, and my buddy's Ultra Classic, no problem. I use it to change oil, or a tire, or anytime I have to pull tupperware. Much easier.
OOOooops! I just uploaded the wrong pic. Right picture, wrong size. It is a 1.54Mb monster, sorry. If you have a dial up, be warned.
Disregard the previous: The software stopped it, I got bailed out. Use your imagination, see the RED ST1100 on the lift:) I know from previous experience that I can't 'edit in' a photo. I will post in another response if anyone would like!
