- December 18, 2012, 07:25:38 AMHere's an interesting table. It also has a front drop panel, in addition to a rear drop. Most only have a rear drop.

- November 12, 2012, 03:50:19 AMHello All............My "Lift Buddy" table is easy to load any bike I've got...just push it onto it via a ramp attaches onto the frame....a few pumps and the table lifts up a few inches and drop in the ramp, lower it back down and push the bike on.....not hard at all.....Got mine from https://xtremelifts.ca/ They don't have my model anymore but do have a newer version.......KEN.

- October 28, 2012, 19:10:59 PMclose to the plan my buddy, going to lift it up so you can see it from the front window and then going to hang lights, garland, and twinkly stuff from it and call it my xmas tree.........
my ceiling joists would hold it no problem, my frame work in this house is 2x6 for the most part and tongue and groove boards 3/4" all over the place, was built in 1947.......

Maybe set the park/tail lights to blink for Christmas, too! Make sure to post pictures!I don't have one but am looking for one for in the living room for the winter for my bike so Ken were does one get a lift for a 800? Thanks.

- October 25, 2012, 21:02:06 PMDo you need two people to load a bike on one of these lifts? Or is there a way to drive it on and lock it in yourself?

- October 25, 2012, 07:31:22 AMJust picked up a Harbor Freight air lift. Bought it from a guy who used it once. He's an ex-Harley mechanic who thought he'd have time to do some freelance mechanic work. Didn't work out so his loss is my gain. Paid $300 bucks for it. Right now my son has his Flhtp Electra Glide parked on it. FIgured if it will safely pick up that big boy, it should be able to handle my 1500.

- October 24, 2012, 20:31:42 PMI've been looking on Craigslist for tables. As always, it's really a matter of timing. I was also looking on FleaBay.
Right now I'm sort of leaning toward a movable table with wheels. I really like the bigger tables with a heavy fixed frame, but I don't want the garage monopolized by the table. I need to move it out of the way, when not in use. That won't fly for the 600-770+ lb tables without wheels.
There's a very mobile table that folds flat and you can stand it up against the wall, but it's not very wide (meaning possibly stable). So the hunt goes on as I research more about tables.

Hey Ratman; do you have a Princess Auto in your area? Or Peavey Mart? I often see them for sale in Princess Auto, and I believe Peavey Mart had a sale on them at some time. Good luck on it;
Regards and such,
Fred
