i used to use the strap method, when i still lived at my parents. there was a big steel I beam across the garage...i could hang a goldwing off of.
but in my place now theres only some 2x4's, which bend a good amount when i half hang on the straps. No WAY am i trusting that with my babies!
i went and looked at that craftsman bike stand today...dont know about all that. a little too big and bulky for me, plus i will never own a bike over 600 lbs...let alone the 1500 taht thing can lift.
I saw a smaller lift, same idea at my local bike shop for the same price, but seems a lot simpler and basic for my needs.
on the other hand theres full motorcycle lifts in the want ad for 500$ ....
There actually floor joist here. 2X8's I think. One set is doubled. I just set the front under the double boards when it needs to be secured. I have a stem stand for both the Duc and the Gixxer but it doesn't work well when the tree needs to come off. I then use the straps and atv floor jack.
929... what you have to remember is that those lifts at Sears aren't just for MC...they also are for ATV's and such.
I would suggest the alum one... it weights about 1/2 and gets in about 1/2-1" lower...
