bill04 Posted May 3, 2008 Author #3 Posted May 3, 2008 Sorry ,,, wrong link , I guess the hydraulic jack fits in between the wheels.
BEER30 Posted May 3, 2008 #4 Posted May 3, 2008 How do you get the bike up there? Haven't you learned to "Bunny Hop" yet ? :rotf: BEER30
Gary N. Posted May 3, 2008 #5 Posted May 3, 2008 Looks like it's made to straddle a standard motorcycle jack but with the adaptor I use on mine to lift the RSV it wouldn't work. Why not just leave it on the jack? Then you can roll it to where ever you want it. Carbon 1 makes a jack adaptor with legs that would do the same job but it doesn't have wheels to move it around once you get it up in the air.
Carbon_One Posted May 3, 2008 #6 Posted May 3, 2008 There's been a couple of guys who have bought my adapter and added their own set of swivel wheels to the legs. I tried once but the wheels I used had rubber and they made it hard to move. Something with a hard set of wheels is the way to go if doing this. Larry
az1103 Posted May 3, 2008 #7 Posted May 3, 2008 Ibelieve what you are looking at is an engine stand. The short of it... I wouldn't ! First it's not made for that and second it's made in China would you want a fine Japanese bike hanging up there on a cheap chinese stand? Go to Costco, they sell a motorcycle jack. Probably also made in china, but at least if the welds pop you'll have some recourse.
Carbon_One Posted May 3, 2008 #8 Posted May 3, 2008 Even with the above dolly you'll still need to lift the bike and deal with the engine protruding below the frame while doing that. Larry
rek58 Posted May 4, 2008 #9 Posted May 4, 2008 You use it in conjunction with the Fat Jack (scissors type). It rolls right around it. The makers of the Fat Jack sell it. I think it's rated for 1500 lbs and sell for around $250.
Big Ben Posted February 10, 2009 #10 Posted February 10, 2009 Harbor Freight no longer sells these stands, I have been trying to buy two of them and was informed that they no longer carry this item, I have a 99 Venture and a 06 Honda VTXR that I have to put 4X4s under them for winter storage and if I want to work on one of them I have to put them on a MC jack.
