I have a jack that I like. A table would be nice because it lifts the bike higher. And I could set a Beer on it.
Do any of these tables allow you back the bike on, securing the rear wheel in the vise? I wonder if the rear fender on my FatBoy and/or RoadGlide would have enough clearance?
I just picked up a Handy Lift from a chopper shop that was going out of business.

I didn't see any IF in his original post.
What I do see are table lifts being used at every motorcycle shop I have been to. If the others were so great, don't you think they would use them?
I have a Sears lift and while it is OK, I would much rather have a table lift. It makes working on the bike so much nicer when you are not having to get up and down all the time and you can actually see under the bike without having to crawl around on the floor...
I have a lift and i just leave the clamp loose on the wheel just not real loose and then i ride up get off and tighten it up never had a problem at all, it is the same one in my sig picture.
Yep - much easier - I had that 13" front extension on the lift which made me balance the bike. Without that extension as soon as I get both wheels up, its in the wheel vice....good to go.
