Posts: 264 03/01/08 2:52 PM	Tags : None I am in the mood to buy a motorcycle lift, i dont want a cheap and nasty one, and at the same time i do not want to spend my kids college fund . Do you have any suggestions,i think i would prefer air/hydraulic (instead of manual pump). Or is someone ready to upgrade?.

You need 4 x 10 feet available to be tied up all the time. If I had a really nice workshop I would buy one but I don't have room. Bill P Missing YB-VP www.billp.smugmug.com

It looked like a little bit of work but then when it's not being used it's out of the way. It might have been on the bmwsporttouring.com web site but i'm not sure. It was definitely a cool set up.

You will lose 10" of height with the lift being in the garage slab.............. I also highly recommend the Bill Smith "Black Jack" 1000 scissor jack to slip under the bike when you want to remove both front and rear wheels at the same time. For $79 you get a real nice thin scissor jack that ends up coming in handy all over the shop.........
