A dealer in my area was upgrading their lift so I managed to get this one for free. The sprag clutch project just got a whole lot easier
the best kind-- air operated. when you get one of these you wonder how you ever managed to lie on the concrete all those years
That's a handy brand, a great lift! I've been looking at those, they are in the 1800 to 2000 dollar price range new. Great snag!
Don't knock them. I have a Harbor Freight, that's been going strong for 20+ years...yes it's foot operated, but how many times are you going to be using it? When not in use I have it upright against the wall in the shed, as it's too tall to drive the mower over it. I've used it for mower, bike and snow blower maintenance...as speedrattle mentioned...once you have one you wonder how you managed without it.
I have an ABBA Skylift which I use for the ZZR and it's very versatile. Not quite as quick to setup as a ride on platform lift but you can raise either or both wheels off the floor at the same time for two ended stripdowns and raise up to a comfortable working height. It's on heavy duty casters so, when the bike is suspended, you can move the whole thing around the garage, very handy with a 260kg machine!
