Motorcycle Lift

Anybody have any knowledge of/experience with this company's lifts?

Motorcycle Lifts : EAZY RIZER BIG BLUE LIFT
Motorcyle Lifts and Stands

I was looking at scissors-type lifts (Kendon, Handy, etc) and ran across this outfit.

I want a quality, safe, easy-to-use (for 1 person) lift for routine maintenance & detailing on my K9, but don't want to spend over $800, max.
Thanks for any feedback!

Go to sears. They have one when its on sale Its $89. Works perfectly. Has positive locks at various heights. 4 rollers. My bike is lowered a bit and it just makes it under the bike where the drain is in the garage. Some guys roll the bike on a 2x4 to give it the extra height. For the money its a great lift. They do have an aluminum version but its double the price I think.

looks like that lift uses U-bolts around the frame. I picked this one up at Harber Freight and added a Bike Pro roll in chock. Total investment $700. And the BDM Chopper fits with about 1/4'' of table to spare.

I have the aluminum jack listed for $174 on this page Car Lifts, Motorcycle Lifts and Engine Stands at Harbor Freight i
It works great for when you need wheels off the ground. You may need to use a 2x4 under a wheel to get it under the bike. Its pretty stable. For more involved work, I use the table that liferider has. Also from harbor freight. It cost me $300 plus I paid for some materials to extend the lift by 14" to fit my choppers. Both work great and can be had for in the $500 range total.

I just bought the yellow Sears lift and paid less than $150 on sale. Very nice lift that works very well and lifts the bike more than high enough to do 90% of the work you would want to do on your bike. I highly recommend it!

I don't have any knowledge of the one you specifically asked about. However, I have the Kendon Chopper lift and its great for everthing I need in a lift.

If you are going to do any serious work on the dog it’s damn handy to have a place to set tools and parts other than the floor.

I bought a small jack but K9 sets so low could not get it under unless driving up on something and then getting it off was scary – took two people both ways

Hey I was thinking if all you want to do is change fluids and shine on the bike, you could get one or two of these and just use them?

I have stinger which is OTC, was about $125.00 a couple years ago, main thing is it is 3-1/2 inches high to start, so all I have to do is stand bike up and it slides right under. works great 1500 lbs.
