I think if you have a smooth surface a jack like J&S would do, but if its rough or dirty, dont forget even tho its on the jack, its a lot of weight on 4 small wheels, it will be difficult to move around.

Good point. Part of my garage slants down towards a drain. If the bikes around that area, the weight wants to pull it right into the wall. Smooth and level it works good. It would be better if all 4 wheels swiveled. I can still turn it around in a fairly tite area. You just have to be careful not to bang the ends of the fenders on stuff when spinning it around.

Shoot.... just roll that puppy up the middle and then do a circle burnout till it's facing the other way!

Why not use a motorcycle jack? Both harbor freights and J&S are good; there's others, as well. Seems kind of silly to get that one-trick pony dolly when you can accomplish the same purpose with a jack, AND utilize the lift capabilities. These bikes are easy to roll around while lifted, the wheels can lock, and if you're on an incline, I daresay controlling two swivel casters would be easier and safer than four.

Exactly what I do with my J&S jack. Don't need to strap the bike, don't really need all 4 wheels to pivot. Spins around in as small of a space as a dolly (or close enough for me, anyway). My garage floor and driveway are smooth, but I gotta believe the jack rolls as easily as a dolly. Bike sits totally vertical, saving a bit of floor space.
Build a 2x4 framework, put some plywood on it, like a wall laying down, mount some 4" swivel casters with locks underneath, build 2 small ramps on the ends and you are done! Total cost under $100!
