friesman Posted November 27, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 27, 2008 I dont know how good this bike lift is, but it looks like a pretty good deal if its halfways decent. Princess Auto has 1000 lb bike lifts on sale for 298.88 starting Tues Dec2. I got the flyer today in advance of the sale. Here is the link to the URL http://www.princessauto.com/_osn.cfm?CTRY=CAN&output=OSN&Factor=1 type 8217234 into their search window on the right to find it I am going to go in Sat and see how they are made , if they have it set up and kicking around already.

SilvrT Posted November 28, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 28, 2008 hey Brian... that looks interesting... here's a different link (not saying yours isn't a good one ....) http://www.princessauto.com/moreinfo.cfm?TAG=107189&SCAN=CAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardhead Posted November 28, 2008 Share #3 Posted November 28, 2008 That lift looks real similar to a Kendron lift. I have one but the chock on the front is too narrow for the front tire on my '02 RSV. I ended up getting the adapter from this web site and I found a 1000# lift made like a MC jack that has 30" of lift. Works great. I have about $250.00 invested.

friesman Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) they didnt have it out in the store yet, I was going to go over tonight after work and take my tape measue to make sure the front tire will fit in the chock and that the thing is long enuff for a 9 foot long bike. Let you know tomorrow. Brian Edited December 1, 2008 by friesman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiCarl Posted December 1, 2008 Share #6 Posted December 1, 2008 Might want to check it for a trap door at the end opposite the wheel chock. Those are real handy for getting the wheel off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let you know tomorrow. Brian I went to the store today after work and they still dont have one together to look at. The metal looks like a good heavy gauge, but i want to know dimensions and stuff like that. Even the manual doesnt have the measurements in it. The guy insisits he will have one set up by tomorrow afternoon. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck Posted December 2, 2008 Share #11 Posted December 2, 2008 I dont know how good this bike lift is, but it looks like a pretty good deal if its halfways decent. TOTAL COST does not include any taxes or freight charges. These charges will be added to your invoice at the time of shipping. Shipping costs can run right up there...... $$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share #12 Posted December 4, 2008 Hey guys I went and looked at the Princess Auto scoot lift yesterday and while it looks solidly built and has a back hatch that opens to do work around the tire, its just not long enough for our bikes. The back wheel would be balancing on the back edge of the steel plate decking. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only opened 2 weeks ago and its still a novelty and with the Christmas rush it was getting pretty ugly. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
