Moveable Bike Lifts
« on: December 17, 2008, 11:57:06 AM »

When my Electra Glide comes (FLHTCUSE4 in the New Year), I'd like to find a way of getting the bike off the ground but also turning it around in my garage  - so I can just drive in and out.

If that means I can work on it at different heights all the better.

What do you guys use - or do I need to get more than one thing?

Can't wait.

I use a very light lift that I purchased at PepBoys. It was priced under $100 and it's great for washing it etc. Does not have any wheels  and I don't think that it can fulfill your needs of moving it around with the bike on top. Nevertheless if you find something in the market please inform.

J&S Jacks are awesome.  I can move the bike anywhere I want to move it within the garage and driveway.  Very stable.

Then I have the Handy Lift SAM 1000 for big jobs.  It is also moveable, but not with a bike on it.  Well.......actually it can be moved with a bike on it, but it takes some grunt to get the dolly levered enough to move it.  Came with a tow dolly, so repositioning within the garage or moving it out in the driveway is a cinch.

Somebody posted a link to a really low turntable.  That would be slick.

I agree with Twolane the j&s looks good, I have a bulldog lift which works well also. Make sure it is wide and long so as plenty stable.

Here's a link for what your looking for. I never tried one, saw a video of a guy ride his bike onto it then move it all around the garage.

I use a Pitbull lift with the air/hydraulic operated jack.  Its ridiculously good.  Lift it as high as you would want and its as stable as on the ground. You can literally stand on a fully lifted bike and it don't move.  Amazing.

They sell a turntable that fits on the lift but I don't have one so I can't comment if that is useful or not.

I've had a sears lift for about 5 years.  Works well, inexpensive, and not hard to move with bike in air

Looks like J&S lift to me, but haven't seen the J&M up close.

Just purchased the Sears model myself a few weeks ago. For $100 it's a good deal and works well for my DWG. Would have loved the J&S but couldn't spring for the $$ at this time.

Be careful with the Sears lift. I bought 1 last year and then began reading others comments. Went out to the garage, lifted the bike and wasn't too secure with the movement, so I took it back and bought a J&S. It's great.

Been fielding questions via PM about my saddlebag stand.  Was discussed here a ways back, but if you go to http://www.bagrrest.com/ you'll find it and be able to purchase one for yourself.  When I bought mine, he was offering a 10% discount to CVO Harley members.

I'm sure someone has the time and knows how to pull up the old BagrRest thread.
