    Hi All,

    I need to get a bike lift to work on my Bonnie, cleaning chain etc... I was going to get a centre stand fitted but thought there will be times I'll need the whole bike lifted so maybe better to get a bike lift of some sort, bearing in mind I'll be working on it in the summer months on my monoblock driveway, in the winter it'll be in the shed.... I've narrowed it down to 3 items in order of preference...

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-0499...TF8&colid=1767M9DX646ZL&coliid=I3ONI4G3XF0C9F This seems to be good value for money, and gets good reviews, anyone used this?

    Strongarm for Safe Fast Easy Wheel Removal of your Harley Davidson or Metric Cruiser A guy called Bonneville63 recommends this on his youtube videos, looks quite good also

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Motorcycle-...TF8&colid=1767M9DX646ZL&coliid=I3KMTCVNO7O5S2 Saw this on Amazon, looks like it could be ok, easy to jack up?

    What do you think? any ideas/advice much appreciated... :smile:

    Afraid I'm not a fan of any of the lifts that just go under the frame of the bike as they can easily slip off. Always used paddock stands that engage into bobbins fitted onto the bike.
    If you want a lift to haul the whole bike in the air then Abba motorbike stands make some great stuff..... bit pricey though
