My garage floor is not particularly flat, so it bounces about a bit as I move it, but basically I can stick it anywhere I want. With the bike fully raised, I could do some work on it in the middle of the garage, then stuff it in a corner and do something else.
The strap on the swing arm is to lift it horizontally. Drop it down, take the strap off and remove the bar, lift again and it goes into the stoppie position. There's a second way to use the strap to get it into the wheelie position, but you can only do that if you have a swing arm bobbin.
I might get a bobbin mount welded onto my swingarm when I next remove it.
Lew, you can shake the bike about on it, as you would expect, considering it's only held via the swing arm mount.
I did climb up and sit on the bike with it fully raised, which feels pretty weird as yeah it bounces about with you on it. Abba told me it's fine to climb up, sit on it and do some work up there!
There is a bit of a knack to getting the bike hooked up. I think I've got a reasonable feel for it now. So yeah for general servicing, if you are running a bike shop, a table would be quicker. But if you are pulling bits off the bike, then one of these might be handy. For me it simply takes up less space.
Everything is pretty solid and well made. A couple of things I didn't like, are the release screw on the 3 tonne jack and the pumping handle, both seem a bit feeble, the jack itself is seriously solid, and maybe I'm just being fussy.
Anyway the bike is still in use. But hey, maybe this winter I might start pulling bits off it and carrying a half decent tidy up.
Hopefully I'll get good use out of this. Happy with it so far.
And oh, I should have washed the bike before I took the photos - sorry!
