    Hey Allde I have the 560 kg lift, cheap is right, but they will do the job.

    Do not rely on the wheel vice at the front, they might hold up your chook chaser but not a Harley

    You bike will bend the ramp that you push/ride up on when you lift the table up, I am reinforcing mine for this reason but also so I can cut a hole in it for better access.

    The deck is not long enough, (when I reinforce mine I am also making it longer and considering moving the wheel chock forward)

    On the upside? It looks fukn cool when you walk out to ya shed and ur bike is sittin up there,

    Ya mates will drool!!

    Really is the only way to work on/clean ya bike.

     Thanks for the feedback Burnzi, Very Helpful.

    And yeah I agree it would be pretty cool if you walked in to your Garage and your Bike was sitting High & Mighty.

    I got one of the Spanners blue Air/Hyd ramps. Length could've been longer,but I jack up the arse end with a modified $70 Supercheap scissor jack. No big deal coz I need the back wheel up anyway, to spin round for cleaning or whatever. then I pull out and remove ramp.The wheel clamp is strong enough for the Rocka/FLH and FXST, I'd  have to be extremely heavy handed to bend the clamp by rocking the bike sideways. The air doesn't work anymore so I manually pump it up. If I was working on bikes every day in a shop. the bastard would be working properly!!! Love me bench though, working on me bikes at stand up level is a bonus,no more up and down from ground level. 'specially when ya back is a bit fucked  I'll post pics of em all and give ya's a perve.

    I drilled holes in the edge of the table and tie the bike down with tie downs, didnt trust the clamp. Thinking about buying one of those front wheel lock devices and mounting that on the table, when not used on the table it would be bolted to the floor to hold the bike in the shed, also thinkin about the bike jack to lift the frame rails up, would make it easier to remove the ramp section.

    Hey Philthy I will take photos of mine too, we can start up a bikes on stands thread. Bwwwaaahahhhhaaaa.

    Ha yeah,that'd be good. Plus tricky shed/tool tricks for backyard mechanics who can't afford Snap On stuff. Some of the shit I've made do with makes my "App Diesel Fitter" son scratch his head.   Just recently,I used the weight of me landrover to press out and straighten me ride-on mower deck using a bottle jack,lumps of wood and ingenuity. I'm glad no one come up the driveway when I was doing it!!   Plus my ol stick welder is stuck on one setting,fucking holes everywhere in the mower deck repair job,nobody can tell though when it's right way up and out of view.  Yeah Burnzi, gotta make do to get the job done eh.
