    I have searched the posts but cannot find much on this motorcycle lift.
    I am just considering a lift like this to lift my Speed Twin and also my new Rocket 3, I just want a lift to get both wheels up and get the whole bike a little higher for ease of cleaning and to enable me to be sat on a low stool. I am trying to find out if anyone uses one and how they find it? and of course anyone with any experience or knowledge regards compatibility with my bikes?
    Thanks in anticipation.

    I have had the sealey equivalent for about 20 years it's very handy and sturdy but more suited to naked bikes where the exhausts don't run underneath

    I think you might be better off with an Abba stand, about the same money but more secure. It depends how far off the ground you want to get your bike.

    Round your way!
    Ive got one and used it on my Bonnie without issues, just use a wooden block under the sump between the exhausts. Great bit of kit. Really well built

    I’ve got one that’s similar, bern great for my thruxton, with the 2-1 I have to use wooden blocks on the frame to clear the exhaust.

    Don't think the AbbaStand will work for the Rocket mate ;);)

    Good point! That'll teach me to read the posts more carefully.

    That same model comes in various different colours and names and all come from china and can be had for various prices you just need to shop around.

    Your choice but I wouldn’t use one of them to lift my new Rocket :confused:
    I’m trying to get the money together to buy a lift called the Big Blue Bike Lift :)
    Expensive though :(
    But I had a lift collapse on me with my brand new 2018 Speedmaster on :eek:

    Very interesting indeed, it is expensive but i do see that it being tested up to 2 metric tons is more reassuring. They have mounts listed for the previous Rocket - not the new one. If this could lift both my bikes (with different mount kits) I think I would go for it . I may give them a call tomorrow as they say they are still open for enquiries.

    Yeah I called them when I got my Rocket 3R but they didn’t have the mounting system for the new ones yet :confused:
    Even asked me how close I was so that they could take a look at my bike :)
    Let us know if you get an answer from them :)

    Ahh ok, of course yes I will update you, perhaps they haven’t had chance to sort the new Rocket 3 mounts yet. Just saw a video, looks absolutely rock solid.

    Just spoke to Dave at “on-bike.com” the website for Quasar Products who make the Eazyrizer Big Blue lifts.
    They have seen and inspected a new Rocket 3 but are still working on the lifting solution for it - he thinks it will not be a problem at all and may be with the beam mounts - but he said ring back in a month to see how they are progressing.
    They are very busy as everyone is cleaning and maintaining their bikes!
