    Looks like a good setup CB, could you get a trike on it with the extra side wings?

    Just wanted to let everybody know.

    The bike lift I ordered from Central Hydraulics is a nice lift.

    But upon puttin my 2008 Harley Electra Glide on the lift, the kickstand drags.
    CAlled Central Hydraulics to see if they have had anybody to try puttin this Harley on the lift table.
    I was told to bolt on a extension or weld one on.
    Or try puttin a piece of 2x6 under the ramp to change the angle.
    If they had to do the modifications there would be an additional charge.:cry:

    I put a 2x6 under the ramp and it doesn't drag..........

    If I made this product I would of already tried different bikes on it and made a longer ramp myself.

    Well the owner of Central Hydraulics called me today and asked me to send him some pictures.
    He said he wanted to know about my bike draggin a little when I put it on the lift.
    He may have to make me a new ramp.

    Have to admit he was a super nice dude........:thumb:
