Saw this on another site. $1400 was it? That is really spendy. I can understand the space saving of this lift, but for that kind of cash I'd get a lift table. With this lift you have roughly an 18-20" support under the frame? How wide are the lower legs? 30" maybe? That would really make me nervous to lift a $20k+ bike that high. The design is based off of a cherry picker and I've seen them go over easily and usually with a cherry picker the motor and center of gravity is swung much lower than this. Not saying that it doesn't work, just that I'd be VERY careful using it at any significant height.

So your happy with it ? I'm about 90% sure I'll have one of these in my garage before next winter. My garage is only 22X22 and I try to get two cars and a my Ultra Classic in there, not enough room left for a slice of cheese. It's important for me to get at least one vehicle in deep enough to get a snowblower out from the wall and behind the car. A lot of money but it would really solve some storage problems for me. I don't think stability would be a problem at all, surely you don't roll it around with the bike in the highest position, get the bike high enough to move, move it where you need it and then lift it high enough to park a vehicle under it.
Did you have it shipped to your house ? Was there a lead time or did they have them in stock ?
Yes very happy with it. My garage is 19 X 24, this gives me room for racks on back wall, tools on one side, two cars and the bike. When I called he said it will ship next Thursday so not a lot of lead time. Maybe 4 days. I had a lift and when I wasn't using it I had to stand it on end. Didn't work for me I'm getting weaker in my Younger years!!!
Well I think I'm in. The clincher is that they will be at Black Hills Harley Davidson this year during the Sturgis Rally and I already have a room booked for the rally. Sad part is I may have to trailer my bike in order to get the lift home, but I may have some other options for that. Rapid City is only 350 miles and we go there several times a year, I think I know someone who would store it for me until I could get back with a pickup.
