Cool, thanks guys. Would there be any issues of stability with a C14 on it jacked all the way up if not bolted to the floor? Is anyone out there using this same lift for a C14??
it works great, there are adjustable leveling feet that you screw down to offer stability, and keep it from rolling with the bike on it. it is a very stable platform, and the price fits it's niche, making a safe and usable product available for a lower intial cost. if I was servicing bikes constantly, i might justify an $800 lift, but it just ain't needed for normal work.
I have no feer of the front tire clamp either, i retrofitted one from another lift because it cleared the brake rotors better, and still allows me to firmly clamp the tire, the chock on the ebay one prevents any semblence of doing front end service, rendering it pretty useless from that standpoint. I do have eye bolts on mine to add additional side straps to the rear frame, just for added Karma.....
with the bike strapped on, and the adjusters lowered before lifting, it is a very stable lift.
in my opinion, it is more stable than the Pro lift, as it (H.F. lift)has a very robust bottom framework at the base, not a couple rollers sitting on the floor, I have worked on bikes with those in the shop, and always get freaked out about how unstable they really are, they wobble a lot, and i think are easier to tip over....jmho
