I bought the table last year and modified it immediately. I put a wider platform on, being I work at a steel fabrication facility I was able to purchase a 48 x 96 sheet of diamond plate. I cut the rear hole out, and mounted a HF wheel chock. I then coated it with bedliner material. It works awesome! I drive it on, and have plenty of room for my legs to go down. I have not scraped going up it, and I have the Ultra Low. I also use it for my ATV. I have used it numerous times, really is great for changing oil and my recent project of swapping the head pipe out. I store it on it for the winter, can tuck it in the corner of the garage. I bought my for $299 and put another $150 with the material, and coating. I do not have any pictures of it, might be able to snap a few if interested.

2goldens, yes I have been doing a lot of reading on chocks and the HF one looks like the ticket for solo. Heck, its only 40 bucks but a little concerned if when the back flips will it hit the fender skirt. I have a 1 1/4" extension also to add to that potential problem. I'm adding to the price when I pick up the lift next week and can always return it. I also seen a slick idea on Youtube where a guy added the boards but with pipe underneath that slid into the next size pipe with a pin in each end to secure it. Fast removal for guys like me that will double it as a snowmobile lift.

There are 3 adjustment holes on them. Not sure it that'll help you out with the fender or not. Just make sure someone is there with you first time you try to use it so that you don't whack your fender.

You need to state Washington what? There is a Washington Mi. near me.

I'm going to test it on the bike first. Its on the jackstand now so I'll lay down and test it out.
It will be spring before the bike even touches it. The snowmobile is priority but I still want to have it mostly ready for riding season.

I also have that HF chock. I have my bolt/pivot in the bottom hole with no issues.

I am wondering how far you are from myself. Northern California Clear Lake. I was just looking at one of these on Black Friday.
