Default Why Did I Wait So Long....?



Picked this up off Craig's List this past Sunday. Direct Lift Pro-Cycle DT. Changed the fluids today without crawling all over the garage floor. What a difference.

I have kicked around that idea for a while now. Seems everytime I detail or work on my bike my back is always never happy the next day.

Only problem is the amount of floor space it takes up when not in use. It can be moved around, but it ain't easy. I'm going to order the side extensions this week, so I can work on my riding mower.

I hear ya, mine was only like $150.00 from Harbor Freight and now I won't be without one. Right tools for the job sure make wrenching & detailing a lot more enjoyable!

You've got more floor space in that picture, than I've got in my entire garage!

Nothing better for cleaning and maintenance than a good lift!

I hear you! Maybe give this a try.

http://www.harborfreight.com/automot...lift-2792.html.

I bought mine a few years ago for $79 with a coupon. Its a fantastic lift. I did the entire rebuild on my flsts on this lift. Engine, tranny, primary, starter, suspension...everything..Jack is extremely stable, takes up very little floor space when not in use. Everytime I service or clean any of my bikes it goes on the lift and no more back pains!
