Then I am standing even with the bike so that I can balance it and put it on the center stand. I position it so that I can walk up it as I push the bike up into position. IT WILL BE ALL THE WAY OVER.īecause the lift isn't very wide, you are going to need something to stand on when you try to put the bike on the centerstand. THE ENGINE GUARDS WILL NOT STOP THE BIKE UNTIL THE BIKE IS ALL THE WAY OVER ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. THE SIDE STAND WILL (MAY) HIT THE RAMP AND PUSH THE BIKE OVER TO THE RIGHT. WARNING: REMEMBER TO ALWAYS PUT THE SIDESTAND UP.

Occasionally I'll start the engine and let the motor do the work, but it is a scary time. Normally I push the bike up, starting back a few feet and getting a running start. The lift isn't wide enough or heavy enough for me to comfortably ride the bike up. If you have a DSL or cable connection this should not be a big deal, but if you have dial-up, go get a cup of coffee.Ĭlick on the picture to load the fullsize image. In many cases this picture itself will be big enough for your use.īut, you can click on any picture and the full size version will load. The thumbnails are 400x300 at 75dpi resolution. But I chose to make the thumnails pretty large themselves. The page includes thumbnail versions of the pictures. I took all the pictures using my digital camera at the 4 mega-pixel setting. (See the below section on the modification I made compensating for this.) However, while it handles the weight, it isn't designed for a bike this big, so I can't use all the features. It handles both of my Goldwings, a 1200I and a 1500 SE. I have a low cost table style motorcycle lift. Jim Martino My Harbor Freight Motorcycle Lift
