Bike hoist?

I have a front and rear stand. Beyond this, not sure what I'd do.

Ratchet straps are fine as long as they are heavy duty enough... I mean some of them have pull strengths several time the weight of a motorcycle. I last hung mine from my stairs at my apt to change my triple clamp, bearings and install the Cycle Cat top triple.

I mean our bikes weigh in at 4-500 lbs, big deal.

Thats what I was thinking, the ones I have are rated for 1000 lbs each, so they should be able to hold 500 lbs spread between 2 of them. I also wont use the pull through ones that I can never get tight, they suck
