    Theres Radum in Victoria.

    The prices are pretty sharp, but the gear in imported. Meh, I've bought a hoist and a a bunch of stuff from them over the years, no complaints so far.

    Radum = good. Bought a lift and gave it to my ex-wife have now bought a jack and building my own.

    Edit; the front wheel lock on my original one was crap, they may have been upgraded by now though.

    They are deliberately shorter than the wheelbase of the bike. This allows the back wheel to drop off, unloading the rear suspension. Makes tyre changing and things like that easy as.

    The frame of the motorcyle sits along the platform. I made a cradle to suit my dyna, so it is fully supported.
