I generally keep my bike up on the lift. I had one bikestolen out of the garage once and anything I can do to slow them down by even a second or maybe make just a little bit of noise while they try to make off with it is a good thing in my opnion.

My lift is the heavy red steelone from Sears not the yellow aluminum one. I usually rollthe liftunder the bike as far forward as possible with the jiffy stand down, then while sitting on the bike and holding it upright I simply roll the bike forward until the frame and the lift's arms contact and then I hit the foot pedal. My bike is a Deuce and its lowered in the rear - 1.75" at the moment. I don't have any problems at all with the lift fitting under the bike and the lift comes standard with protectors on the arms. Forwhatever its worth the bike balances best when the lift's forward arm is about an inch behind the jiffy stand. With it in that position and the front end strapped down to the lift it is rock solid.
