    Problem with that one is only one side of the bike is exposed to work on at a time. You gotta take it down and then switch sides.
    I'm sure enjoying the lift I got. Got the Springer up on it again doing some things to it. Much, much easier than getting on your knees or laying on the cold concrete. :)

    Was notising that you could only work from one side......
    That would Sux not being able to work all way around the bike.........


    After having a Table it would be hard to use that lift myself.

    And what you use it for once you got it home is up to you....:rolleyes:

    But I got a sears jack i use too........ It also does other jobs.....

    I got one of the motorcycle/ATV lifts from Sears while it was on sale. Seems to work pretty good. Sure is easier washing the tires, changing the oil and doing other stuff. Still gotta be careful to be sure the bike is balanced good on the lift.
