Wow, great deal. I bought a Handy lift a while back and I have to tell you, at my age a lift is a great equalizer. It is so much more enjoyable working on my airhead with a lift.

Nice Bigrider! Even better! Bad back here. Hope to get one some day

John,

I bought one of those on a similar sale couple of years ago. I've had the GS and the RS both on it for work. Some folks on the LT list, use it for the LT as well. Let you know when the RS gets off mine . However, don't see why it wouldn't handle the LT as well. IMHO for the average guy, it works great for the price.

One caveat, I changed the wheel lock to a more sturdy unit and added additional tiedown points.

Good point about that wheel clamp. As shown in the picture it would keep a bike from rolling but not from falling over. Not good. Handy and many others use a wheel clamp that is sort of L shaped that grips the sides of the tires at the bottom and vertically at the front. Mine is at least 12 inches tall. If the bike isn't on the centerstand I do add tie downs for stability but once properly clamped the bike won't fall over even without tie downs.

Thanks for all the great tips and information!

I have the HF lift, great value but worthy of the mods mentioned.

Here is a link to a rock solid wheel clamp

...and another handy addition to consider is this scissor jack.

Both are solidly built. Both available from http://www.derekweaver.com (no affiliation) and if you catch them right, free shipping on these heavy things.

Cheers.

Must have gone up in price. I bought mine from Harbor Freight 2 years ago for about $280. Best investment these old bones ever made.

I have been using one of these for a number of years now, but I also need to upgrade the wheel chock. HF as one available that looks real good. Mine gets a lot of use repairing snow blowers and lawnmowers too, plus anything else that is heavy and is easier to work on whole not on the floor. It's not fancy, but does the job for a good price.
