Have been looking around for a bike lifter to raise the bike off the ground to change the oil clean the wheels change the shocks etc.Have come across a local one mabe in Melbourne,got in contact with the engineer and took my sportster up to have a trial.It is pretty good makes the bike feel as if it is on a main stand,takes a bit off getting use to but after a few goes it is a one man job,it costs $147 the site is www.beckerenterprises.com if anyone else has come across any cheap bike stands let me know cheers.
I picked one up from Big Trevs on Frankson Dandenong Rd Carum Downs for $150.00. Repco Stores use to sell them too
Looks about the going rate.....I paid $150 for mine
it does not have anchor points which could be a bit of a worry.
I made my own from this site, worlks great and costs next to FA, I stapled a bit of carpet to the top also. When the bike is lifted it feels solid as a rock.

I bought for $150 delivered, assembly was easy, qaulity of unit is excellent. The only thing is on my Dyna (08 FXDC) the kickstand is in the way and it is not a very secure lift - not bad but not ideal - plus I'm not comfortable that half the weight of the bike is on the Kickstand which is wedged between bike frame and Lift arm.
NOTE, any stand you get you will be stuffed wheeling it around unless you have polished/immactulate flat garage floor! :-(
Guys With the twin cam Dyna's how did you get around the transmission cover/guard getting in the way on the RHS?
