    Jack My Bike

    Anyone with any experience with motorcycle jacks for repair, etc....?

    How about this company? Their prices seem too good.
    Shop America's best selection of motorcycle jacks at Discount Ramps. Air over hydraulic, and hydraulic jacks available at great low prices.


    For my knees, hips and back- this seems like a winner of an idea.

    I highly prefer the lift tables. Much more stability and a work bench all in one.

    NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      The lift tables are the best but impractical for many of us with limited space. The jack is the next best thing.

      I always thought they were kind of gimicky and put off gtting one for years. Now I'm lost without it. It does make working on the bike easier and is very useful for moving the bike around in the man cave.

      I'd recommend one.

      Cheers,

          I am working on my first bike and borrowed a jack from my cousin. It has a locking mechanism that prevents the hydraulics from giving out over time so that made me feel more comfortable. It is also very very sturdy, I can lean up against it and loosen tightly torqued bolts without it budging. I am very careful though in to not push the limits. It is also great because its in my small garage that has shelves and tool boxes all around and I still have easy access around it. I'm using some cheap one that my cousin got for free, looks about 5-10 years old

            Put big eye bolts in the wall on each side of the garage and run straps to keep it from tipping. Thats was the first time in maybe 25 years that i have ever lost a bike and the last..the jack wnet in the dumpstr the next day.
