I never realised they were so cheap. I might get one of those - my
bike only has a side stand, so I can't do any maintenance involving
slackening the wheel nuts myself at the moment!

Lend me your bike for an afternoon, and for the small consultancy fee of
$135 I'll perform a feasibility study for you. Wouldn't want to see you
wasting your money buying one if it wasn't suitable for your needs.

If it's like all the others of this type, it makes contact with
whatever's on the bottom of the bike.

So for things like full cradle frame dirtbikes or harleys, with the
frame rails.

For bikes with suspended engines like Guzzis, with the bottom of the
engine.

For bikes with full fairings, with a lot of expensive plastic....

Two things to note.

1. This is probably made in China. Cheap lifts made in China have vary
variable quality control, and some have been suspected of being made
of licorice.

2. You have to buy or make "adapters" to suit your bike or the pipes/
sump/etc could be crushed.

Otherwise it looks good.

PS On the other hand if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Hoi Marty,

It's really not an option unless you have a cradle frame or the option is to
make up a cradle to handle your bike and it's exhaust.

Super Tens don't have that problem....a host of other problems but not that
problem. Wink
