Looking to do some upgrades and I know for example with the derby cover I have to keep the bike vertical when changing. Any cost effective stands out there instead of buying a lift?

 

Scissor jack works well for me. About $70 at Amazon.

 

Piece of 2x4 under jiffy stand.

 

The Condor Stand costs abit but worth every penny

 

I bought a condor stand and it works great for my sportster and my dad's electra glide. I believe they are less than $200. They are worth the cash and it can be installed on a trailer if you need to transport a bike.

 

Be aware of what you are doing when you do this. I was working on a Sportster I used to own in the garage with a 2X4 under the jiffy stand and managed to push the bike over the other way and laid it into my car door! Made a nice crease. I was a little po'd. Every since that little incident, I buy the stuff to do it right. Least the bike wasn't hurt too.

 

Are you talking about a bike stand or a wheel chock? If you're not wanting to go to the expense of purchasing a lift or jack, how do you propose you're going to get the bike up on a stand without one? Buy a quality jack and be done with it.

 

i had harbor freight stand which worked well for my Sportster. But with the Street Glide, I could not pull it back off....rocker too tall and bike too heavy. Bought the WheelDock and it's perfect. a bit pricey but then it'll last me a long time. Rolls right in and rolls right out.

 

I got two of these. Kinda overkill buying two but using both side by side cover the whole frame so its super sturdy when raised. These are also very compact.

 

So...Do give those particular Jacks a "Thumbs Up" ?
