Found one nearby on Craigslist, like it, modified it to work great with 85 K100RS on center stand. I used slotted angle to extend the front tire "stop" to allow it to roll back on the center stand and the stand is positioned to still allow the rear tire trap door to be removed.

A little more expensive, however a much more solid platform! I have a Handy lift that I scored from a shop that was closing for a song! I have used the harbor freight version and it is great too!

Nice looking equipment for a minor bump in cost..Thanks.
You are most welcome. They have some really good deals on other equipment as well. I was looking at their tire machines, you can't buy a used COATS unit for the price of their new ones. But depends on how many tires one does in a year.

Do those lifts, when not in use, fit underneath a car in the garage for storage?
I use mine as a workbench sometimes too. Of course, if I cleared off my real workbench I could use it...
I've thought about leaning the lift against the wall when not in use but was concerned about the jack fluid leaking. Any issue with that? Do you lay it on it's side or stand it on end? Come to think about it, it's pretty heavy to stand on end...
At any rate, it's a handy thing to have, it was $300 well spent.

I have not had issues with it leaking. Your right on the heavy thing. I unbolt the wheel chock and lean it on the side.
Now, that's an idea...
Good to know. Thanks. Maybe I can make room for more junque in my garage that way.
