Can anyone recommend a bike stand or lifter that is suitable to use to make it easier to give the ride a tub or change the oil out in the driveway?  Are they different for different bikes? Mine's a 07 Fatboy

Repco stores sell bike lifters for under 200 bucks luckymick.

Thanks, I'll have a look there.

if you want a lifter

Have a read of this post...HERE.... bought is from I bought the lift from Hare and Forbes for $489.... 

if you are looking at buying off ebay then be aware of weight capacity and length... especially length as some wont be long enough...

and here is a fat boy on the same type of lift (borrowed from another post)

Thanks Unc, that looks like a top bit of gear for the workshop. Sure would make it easier on the old back doing a service.
