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.

Two words:

Plan

Ahead

.

Thankfully, I have buddies with tire changing machines, my rims are probably the least beat up part of my bike.

I do sorta remember that PC thread... but it got so large I don't remember the particulars.

I didn't think about the height raising. And being I don't have to lube a chain, and cant really do both wheels at once... I guess I'll just stick to the craftsman mc jack for bike washing.
