    Beautiful collection!

    I'm up to 5 now and am still looking for one more.....and wondering if that's a mistake or not!

    I also have 6 other bikes.....so.....that's too many for sure.

    Nice Line Up Mike !

    I grabbed a second lift table this summer, and im still debating if its gonna get too crowded up in the shop if I move it there. Still sitting in the lower garage now taking up space there instead. IDK....I just cant walk away from a good deal.

    If I had an opportunity on a really good deal for a quality lift, I don't think I would pass either. Think I would make it work. It's just that the Handy Lifts are what, a grand now? That's an expensive experiment that you now have to try and sell and not take a bath on if it didn't work out.

    The HF one is pretty great. Use one of the coupons and make it happen!

    I just bought the HF lift one week ago and can attest it's the cat's pajamas!

    $585.74 out the door and well worth every penny!

    Currently have one of my 87's on it - need to re-install the carbs and will also do some maintenance items, while on the lift. Man this is going to be a game changer for me! :)

    The HF lifts work very well, and I added their motorcycle roll-on chock in the front, in place of that clamp thingy. Makes
    it a lot easier to secure the bike, as it will stay in place until you get a couple straps in place.

    The clamp that came with my table seems to be working OK for my purposes so far. But I'm listening and watching what others are doing to tweak their tables. I watched a YT video earlier this year with a guy who did just that with his including adding traction pads to the top.

    I removed all of that stuff. Just something to trip over, I think. I use the same stands I use on the ground.

    Yeah I don't have any paddock stands yet but that's a sweet setup and very sweet work space!

    How many scars on your thighs before you installed the "foam kit"? ;)

    Here too. Part of why I don't want a permanent stand attached to it. If there's no bike (I'm walking around anyway) I don't need things to bump into, trip over, and fall into. Metal is...unforgiving.

    I did put a short 4x4 under the front as it is possible to put too much weight on the front...
