How is this any quicker or easier than taking 2 seconds to throw the bike on a stand?

Well, you just roll your bike on it and you then can move the wheel however you wish. Besides with some larger bikes, putting it on stands may not be entirely safe or easy by yourself. There are also those people who don't have stands... I used to have one that I kept in my wash bucket and just grabbed the bucket when it was wash time. I guess they're not for everyone....

The large bikes I can understand.

If you have a touring bike, chopper or center stand I see the use.

I just found it funny that a bunch of sportbike guys that already have stands would buy these for convenience.

If you don't have stands already use the $30 and put it toward a set of T-Rex or Redline stands. IMO, of course.

screw the stands I want the MC lift so I can get the bike up off the ground to work on.

I agree with shmike, I can put my bike on a rear stand much more easily than putting it on this. Plus, I like the stability of the stand better, I am not going to be worried about the bike falling over at all on the pit bull.

Well just in case anyone wants it... Yea I know I scanned it upside down...

Tigger, couple questions..

How stable is the bike on it?
Do you have 2 of them?
How is it with one on each end?
Can you provide me with a link to their website with that price? Not sure your scan will work at my store.

Why are you getting your rims repainted? Why not powdercoated?

Hahaha! Didn't we already have the powdercoating argument ,Chris?

I only got one because I can only clean one wheel at a time.

The bike is fine on the stand but they do suggest that you use a spacer under the kick stand if necessary. Because it raises the wheel only about an 1/2 inch, I can't see where it would unduly stress the kick stand.

Sorry, I searched both Motorcyclist and Harbor Freight and I couldn't find anything. All they really need is the number off the coupon to input into the register. Heck, my coupon didn't want to scan either so she had to put the number in manually.

It's not the greatest thing since sliced bread or anything but it beats running my stands up and down three floors of stairs just to wipe off my rims or lube my chain.

if you put something under the kickstand it helps keep the tire from making it's way off the roller. Tina's bike is lowered quite a bit and with the roller we have if it's not pretty close to being upright it wants to roll off the stand (rolls off to the side of the stand).

That's the "it's Sunday and I want to ride but my back tire is toast and I have a new one on the patio but I don't have the proper tools to replace a motorcycle tire I bet I can do it with a tire iron and some screw drivers if I try" situation.
