I mean, it'll work in a pinch. And not for a Vespa, of course -- the tie-down points are in completely the wrong spot. Plus, it's not actually very high -- I would still be stooped over for most tasks at the wheel-level.
But, you know, other than that, great job, FortNine! |

I bought the harbor freight one years ago when they were $299. Might be better off just waiting for them to go on sale?

It may not be 'pro quality', but for a casual garage tinkerer, It's served me well and has lifted many motorbikes over those years, including a few rather large ones like Indian Chiefs and similar. It's more recently hoisted my 700 pound Rocket 3 when I was having new tires mounted onto it's wheels, and of course, it was very handy to have during my recent drive belt episode. Along with my little Murray snow thrower, probably the best $300 I've ever spent. ![]() ![]()

Unfortunately, that Harbor Freight lift is $550 now. My wife would do bad things to me if I bought that. 😂
