    Bought this bike stand today from Repco for $150. Seems quite sturdy and is easy to use.

    I thought it was a good price so I am letting you all know. It is on special at that price till the 6th of september.

    That looks very sturdy and should do the job for me with my old Softail Custom. will check out Repco here in the morning and see what they have.

    Make sure the distance between the lift arms is wide enough to sit either side of the softail shockies.

    Hi FXR, The jack & bike look good but Im interested in the forward controls, I have a mate looking for some, can you tell me the brand, price & where you got them?

    It's hard to find controls for the FXR's.

    Cheers

    I presume it uses a hydraulic pump? Certainly great for working on the wheels but I guess not oil changing. Good price.

    This subject has been covered back in the dark ages, but hey that looks like a pretty good deal, and it looks quality. It's the first one I have seen used with straps, I rekon mine has the loops for the strap hooks, I must check. I haven't bothered, but then again I don't wheel it around. Just lift the bike to wash it and put it back down when finished. Great for cleaning the wheels, especially spoke ones.

    I have one of them. They not to bad. Good for cleaning the wheels . I have used it for servicing although it is a bit of a hassle when doing the Gear box.

    I bought one of those lifts from Repco a few months ago for a lot more than $150 so you've got a bargain. Good for cleaning your wheels.

    Also, you can hold your bike level by raising one side arm under the front of the frame. It's steady enough to do gearbox and primary oils.

    Good info

    Bought one and so far I have spent time welding the lock release guides back on. Other than that it seems to be worth the coin. I have to take everything off the back end to change the tyre so will come in handy.

    I got one last year, same price, finally set it up and the jack was empty, put some oil in, still don't go up, I think the release button is stuck, a bit of work for me to do

    ALL SHOW!!!   NO GO!!!   ------    You think that trucks great, love to see the one that transports it around between shows, cos don,t think it gets more than start up every now and again to give the owner "Wood"

                 One thing in its favour, thats a shit hot paint job, just missing the lettering "K"  "T"  "M"   on it anywhere
