I welded up something like that back in the day for my 76 Sporty. Worked great and I got the material for free from work.........

He has many different versions, though they are called generations.

Common enough practice and tool for the dirt bikers and such. No, it is not well suited for porkers like touring Harleys.

If you just want something to make it easier to check the tire pressure, why not something like a wheel cleaning stand?

Why use a stand at all? These work great. I mounted mine with a T stem to make for easy air fills as well. Granted more expensive than that stand but these are actually useful.

Make sure you put THESE in next time you do a tire change.

I even modified one to take with me when I did a ride up to Alaska in 2010.

The description doesn't mention weight, but a reviewer claims that a 500lb motorcycle would be pushing the limits. My thought is, you're asking for trouble. Even if the lift could support the weight of the bike, the side stand isn't designed for that and you risk far worse things happening than the cheap lift failing.

There are better options.
