Default Motorcycle Lifts
Given that we have very few options here in the UK and those that we do have are really quite expensive - I have found this on E-bay and would apreciate people's thoughts on its suitability as a lift for my StreetBob?

Is that thing glowing? lol, I'm just kidding. It looks fine to me, rated for 1500 lbs, should be good.

Minimum height: 5.75" (146mm) will it slide under your bike? Looks fine to me otherwise.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any experience with this type of lift myself.
