Bike Lift which one?

[daddio1224]

Got the Torin - 'Big Red' from Pep-Boys (I think) $65. Just a simple hydraulic pump lift. Works fine me when servicing/washing the Heritage. No under frame 'spacers' needed.

I'm with Dolt!!! I have the one listed in the post below! By far, one of the best HD Mods I have added to my shop.

Motorcycle Lifts | TCML Motorcycle Lift, 1,500 LB. Motorcycle Lifting Table

Found a dealer who happens to live about 5 miles from me! Paid $675 out the door.

Here it is in use..... (hope the pix came thru)

Bailey...looks good, but your bike may get a bit of "Vertigo" being that high up...! :bigsmiley11:

Thankyou Steve for the tip on the adaptor plate and the shocks, I have had a lift for several months now and its still in the box. Another winter time project to build an adaptor plate from lift to the frame tubes I guess is best eh.

I was wondering if the 30 to 33 inches is high enough or should a guy go to the lift that goes to 40 inches?

I'd say it depends on your height & what type of wrenching you plan to accomplish. Definitely don't want a short lift when working major mods b/c you'll be hunched all day & straining the back. I'm sure some of the forums seasoned tech experts can chime in b/c it's their forte...

Thanks NEWHD!!!... I tell ya what, being able to wrench and walk around when the bike is up in the air is sooooo much easier!

Geezer... I agree with Iceman24 in the height is specific to what your wrenchin'.

The lift I posted (which is in my home garage) goes from ground level up to having the air cleaner cover at
about 55 3/4". It also has about six different lower levels that it can lock at, taking the weight of the table and the bike off the guts of the lift.

The lift came with the adjustable chock, jack, and a rear drop out panel allowing the rear tire to drop down when needed.

Anyone have any experience of Big Red or Big Blue Easy Rizer??

Eazy Rizer Big Blue Motorcycle Lift

Very expensive but they look good.....:newsmile047:

CedarBrook63, did you find a lift or checked out if there is a local wholesale tool outlet like Harbor Freight in the UK? The Sportster (like your 883/1200 "breathed on one") is about 600 lbs wet, easily lifted securely by the yellow one at a pretty descent price...

Priced right (in the US with "coupon" discount is $59 USD).

The yellow one from sears is the best.
