really like the flush with floor lift .. BUT  who woulda thought there is 4" plus concrete keepin ya from doin it .. and talk about dust .. yeow.. better havin jus the wheel vice stickin up trhan to have the whole table sittin thee in the way .. jus sayin ..

Flush with floor lift....I thought this was cool, but was concerned about losing lifting height.  If a retracted lift is 7" tall, that means it must sit 7" deep into the floor to be flush.  When fully extended upward, your lift will be 7" lower than it was when sitting on the garage floor.  Example: Handy lifts raise up 30", so subtract 7", leaving a lifting height of 23".  Just something to consider.

I believe yo math is spot on ... Why would i wanna have to stand up allll the time ?? Not to mention ya cant reach the tank top , dash, windsheild and such ..Ya  jus gotta weigh it out .. not to mention its a helluva lot work to flush mount the lift .. Me im likin it .. bsides ... Im thinkin them handy lifts was made for lawnmowers .. it jus happens to work out for MCs as well ... LOL

I have not had much chance to use it. work is out of control!!! The wheel dock is still sitting in the box. I hope to get it setup before the end of the year. I have to work 12 hour days 7 days a week for the frist 5 weeks of 2012! I am thrilled!

     ok we'll I'll be watching to see how it goes, I guess busy at work is a gift these days thanks Randy

The wheel dock is mounted. I just got it all done. Ready for some wrenching on my bike. I used two 1/2" stove bolts in the base under the tire and I used two 3/8" bolts thru the cross member into exisiting holes in my lift. It is rock solid! In and Out of the wheel dock is easy however I still cannot get the back wheel over the lift by myself. I had to get the BSR involved. I think I need a longer approach ramp. Next project!!!!!!

My lift is different.  But I just ride my bike on.  Let the motor do the work.
Mine stays parked on the lift when it is in the garage.  Ride on, step off.  Been doing that c couple of years now.
It gets exciting when it's been raining out, the lift tends to get a little slick.  Pucker factor 4.

x2 - That reminds me to get some of that stair traction tape I keep meaning to get.  It does get a little wild sometimes when the tires are wet!
