Lifts are wonderful to get the beasts up in the air to work on. I am too old and stiff to stand on my head anymore. I was head down under the dash on my truck last year and popped a rib loose. I purchased one of those HF mower and garden tractor lifts for $60 on sale with a 25% off coupon. It is well worth every cent. I have two font wheels so a standard lift does not work. I pick up the back end with a rope hoist or come-along then set it on a stand for additional safety. I can make a single wheel adapter if I ever need one. The lift gets the wheels about 2' off the ground. The actual item packaging and instructions list a 400# capacity.

This thing is GREAT!!!!!!!!!

I can sit back in my RE-PURPOSED office chair, and repair in COMFORT! hahaha It is awesome to be able to be able to bring the problem to me! and off the GROUND! It's also REALLY easy to roll a scooter around on the garage floor, with one hand! I love it! I might even get another one, that will roll into a higher, work bench! so I can take one with me if need be. ;D ;D ;D HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY ;D ;D ;D

Mark, It has 3 different heights, a Safety Bar drops when you reach each height. I love this thing, almost like another pair of hands to me!!!

With scooters, the middle of the engine is a great lift point for 90% of the weight, so the front pad of the lift is mainly for balance. I can move this scoot around the whole garage with EASE! Its very well balanced this way, and it would take a big push to fall off...

Frankenmech, I LOVE REVERSE TRIKES!!! I read that you have two front wheels, with a pulley hoist to get the rear end off the ground. That works Great! I have done the same with the I beams of my shop. I am currently in search of at least a 600cc, 1990-2004, Wrecked(in the front)Motorcycle, to build my 1st Reverse Trike... I really wanna use BMW 318i-5 or even 7 Series, Upper, lower, control arms, sway bar, RackNPinion Gear, etc. and POSSIBLY an old dragster body, cut down, and curved up a little bit, to look like a badass Indy Car!

Wow man...... I'm definitely going to have to get one of those! thanks mikey

[mikey34]

Anytime man! It was A great investment! I recommend it to ANYONE!!! I can't wait to change the oils in it! With it being up higher, I'm sure it will be even easier! Plus ANY exhaust work, or valves, its all within reach of my office chair, magnet for screws, I'll say the 10 dollar 4.7volt Screw-driver, and 1/4" socket adapter, quick, easy, NO SLOUCHING or HURT BACK!!!

UHOH! The downside is now we can all see the amount of work needed to detail that underside bro! ;D

[mikey34]

OH YA MAN! I AGREE!!! BUT my first concern is the customer's bike... Unfortunately, that leaves very little time for my stuff! hahaha But I' Can't Complain!!! because they do pay my pay check!! haha
