Anyone use one of these?
Will they move when you attempt to put the cycle on them?
What holds them in place?

Thats a lot of money for what it is! Check out the dolly that J&S has available. I think it is about half the price. Same idea different set up..........

Thanks.
No J&S doesnt have one of these. A Lift yes. A dolly no.

So I guess no one has used onehere?
Seems like it would have a hard time holding it in one place when you attempt to load your bike on it though.

SOOS, I have one already. I use my Sears yellow jack to put it on it and it is rock solid! Very easy to get on and off, easy to manover around when in place. A great item for the price........................................Just my opinion!

Ride Safe,

Mike

I saw that. But how do you get your bike up on that bad boy?
The more I think about it. The more I think I should have gotten a J&S Lift.
I have a Sears Red now.

Use a jack to lift the bike, then it fits just outside the jack. it is open on one side and just slides right in. Lower the jack slowly for proper placement and when satisfied, lower it on down and pull jack out. Reverse for removal.

Ride Safe,

Mike

Good question. That thing might support a 1000lb bike, but it's not going to lift anything.

I personally use the Sears motorcycle lift. Great for maintenance and I even use it when washing the bike.I also store the bike on itfor winterbecause it's easier to manuver the bike where I want it.

That plate on wheels dosen't look like it's good for much except for moving the bike around in the garage when it's not being ridden.

I have a similar one by http://www.cycleslider.com . I have a friend that has one made of 10 guage steel and it is terrible, won't move well and flexes in the middle. He wants to sell it for $50 and can find no takers.The Cycleslider is heavy aluminum and doesn't flex at all. I just set the brakes on the slider and ride the bike up on it. I move it all around the garage so the bike and car both fit.

I also have a J&S jack, but they do totally different things.
