Will this jack lift a newer Harley Electra Glide up far enough to get the wheels off (especially the rear)? If so, is it stable at that height?

Yes, it has the oomph to lift your Glide. However, I would not recommend removing both wheels. Too many things can go wrong when using a small jack. Do one, then do the other.

It should as I bought mine for the same reason. I have a victory tour but I also had it on a lift & stabilized the front.

David , I feel this is a good stand and should work well, Just remember if you lift the rear, the front wheel needs to be locked and blocked so it will not slip to the right or left and will of course not roll forward off the stand. I would also try to stabilize the bike right to left considering the width, bags, guards, lights.I dropped a 19" wheel and the height of the stand allowed me to remove the wheel at a slant. good luck and be safe.

They will lower your bike about one inch. I have a street glide which is about an inch lower than an ultra...no change in ride higth for me. I love them. It's like I got a new bike. Call the progressive guys for advice,they're very good.

I don't see why not. One raised it will not creep back down like a hydraulic jack. Just make sure the bike is secure.

I wish that this item would have worked with my frame configuration, but it didn't. However, this thing is built so strong that it would hold up a Harley dresser. Haven't found one yet to work with my Japanese 10 speed bike with an 80cc motor attached. Just gotta chain it to a tree or sign post. Still looking though! Wish that I could help ya out more, but that's all that I know. Mark.

I strapped (with ratchet straps) the engine guard back to the front of the jack in order to drop the front wheel on '12 street glide with my not so detachable tourpak attached just yesterday. Hope that helps!

I do think you could lift your bike off the ground with no problem, yes it would be stable!

I converted my harley davidson sportster into a trike and it lifted it up easily, the only thing is that you will need to watch out because I would not trust leaving your motorcycle lifted on both wheels with this jack, I would buy a more professional one for this matter. It looks like the motorcycle can tip over.

Reaching the bottom should be okay but any higher l doubt. Plus mine gave up and blew a gear lifting a Honda Odyssey.

I have no problem with my 580 lb Husqvarna ZTR. The lift should work fine for you.

The maximum lifting height is the distance from the ground to the top of the ratchet bar, 16". The only way to get a higher lifting height would be to place the jack stand on blocks. But, trying to get a 30" lift with this stand would be unstable and very unsafe.

I do, but you have to be careful with it because it's just sitting up there with nothing locking it down. As long as you have a smooth floor and take it slow it should do ok. Also,I don't pick the bike up any higher than I need to.

I have a 2007 Harley Road King, when I go to put the jack under the bike I have to pull the bike off the kickstand ( Harley leans over a long way when on its kickstand) then it slides under the frame and can lifts it up so that both wheels are off the ground and it could go much higher if needed. hope this helps.

You can raise or lower the ride with this product. I raised my 64 Impala 1 inch with the screw in metal spacers. They might be a bit simpler to install.

it should lift it, don't know about impact.the only thing my jack goes up but wont come down.not sue where to send it back to.

I have a jeep renegade and a 280lb bike that i use mine with- since yours is lifted its going to make the loading ramp steeper but since you are loading an xr100 and they are fairly light weight; it should be ok. I have hauled my nephews crf100 a few times and lifted the back wheel right onto the ramp.

This is our third season with this bike lift & all is good. I think you might get by with a 25 degree pitch, however remember the weight of the bike pulling in one direction will cause stress on mechanism & the hooks securing the bike may cause the bike to fall. Good luck Ray.

The platform has enough area to lift a bike with both wheels off the ground without a problem. Two of them might give you more stability, but I don't see how you could fit two of the jacks under the bike and lift by the frame. You bike is different than mine, obviously, but if I could even get two underneath, I'd be lifting partly by the exhaust pipes, and they'd probably get damaged in the process. I think you'd be better off with paddocks.
