Quite honestly the mild weather so far in the chicago land area has really pushed back when the bike gets the end of season oil change and wash. As I get older, I am really starting to get tired of winter. Just saying.

Yea Robjr, it's a lift made by Norco. It's alot like the harbor freight one, but waaaaay better quality. That was a nice Craigslist find for me. Imagine being to change your oil while sitting on a milk crate. Plus I can wash the wheels on my bike while standing up and spin them around to get them good and clean.

Well, that would be handy to get the bottom of the bike clean. I am just not that thorough.

That is up there for a bagger weighing almost 900#. I am not sure I would do that... Coming from someone who used to design hospital patient lifts. The whole structure becomes unstable the higher you go.

That's right. The mild weather gives us a chance to make up for the late spring.

I have had this lift for well over a year, and I will tell you what, it's pretty stable! I've had a couple baggers on it, a softail, and a honda. Zero issues.
