You'll wonder what you ever did without one.
Once you're old enough that your knees and back hurt on a daily basis, you'll not ask that question . . .I'd never want to live without a lift again. Makes all maintenance much more pleasant. Like oil changes at waist level.
How useful are bike lifts? Are they worthy of some precious garage space?I don't mind laying on the floor to get at things, but am I being overly hard on myself? Should I open my mind to the idea of a lift?
I have a HF lift with an adapter for Guzzis. Lifts it high and holds it firmly. Makes tire changes a snap.
Very useful. What is a guzzi adaptor? I have to tie down the front wheel to lift the rear wheel clear.
+2...what is a Guzzi adapter?
I have a hydraulic lift, but it has a bike on it at the moment.
I bought this el cheapo Chinee lift 7 or 8 years ago and it's brilliant.My long term rebuild has been sat on it but, I have the best of both worlds as a Harley owning friend has semi-permanently lent me his lift. I thought this would be a liability but it's really steady.No crawling about on the deck for me.
If you're building a new garage, consider leaving a hole in the slab floor so your lift will be flush with the floor when fully retracted. That's what I would do.
Good idea in theory but not good in real life. If you recess the lift in the floor it will always be 6 or 7 inches to low + it will be a trap for dirt and debris so you may have to periodically need to remove the lift to clean out.
:1: You don't have to lose "precious garage space" - park a bike on it.
