Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of the Kendon Stand Up Lift?

I have their stand up trailer and love it, a buddy has the lift and is very happy with it.  Easy to work with.

MJ, I know one guy who has one.  I know he's got the chopper version but have never heard him say a word about its use or functionality. 

Have always thought there were a good idea for any garage where space was a premium and a floor lift could not be left on the floor.  I'll call him this weekend and see what he thinks of the unit in use.

Just got off the phone with him MJ.  Says the lift is easy to manage for one person (he's about the same size you are).  It takes the bike up and down for service no problem.  It allows satisfactory access to the underside.

Downsides were it is narrower than a standard table lift so little or no place to lay tools or parts while working.  Count on having a roll around cart to work from I guess.  The narrow width he says also makes using a scissor jack to raise the rear wheel something you have to be more careful of.  Can't quite envision the difficulty myself.  But he says it's just a bit more hassle.
