I have a 2 car garage with 3 cars and 2 motorcycles in it. I squeeze everything into it's respective spot. I don't like any of my vehicles outside at all. We all suffer with our quirks. (:
I have been searching for a while now. I really like the Condor system ( http://condor-lift.com/index.php?rou...product_id=100 ). Keeps the bike upright. Also, you can transfer the system to a trailer and it looks like the best built system out there. but, it isn't cheap. And I would really like to be able to keep the tires off the ground during storage.
I have a Bursig Paddock stand for my 1 bike ( http://bursigusa.com ), it works great, keeps the entire bike in the air. But that ain't working for no 900 lb Harley.
This may be what I buy. I already have a jack. this is a dolly that will fit under the bike after you jack it up. https://www.klsupply.com/jacks-stand...ue-35-9872.asp It's on Amazon for $230

K&L makes great lifts and jacks, which I have over $4K invested in. However, the bike stand is not one of their better products. So I went with the (link below) custom made stand, stronger and less cost than the K&L.

Well, The jack that I have only has the back set of wheels that rotate, the front are only rollers. Plus there the issue of hydraulic leak that can slowly lower the ram and the bike can be on the floor overnight. Plus, the jacks don't have a very long base, so the bike wobbles on it at least for my Ultra.
The dolly has 4 wheels that rotate and is a longer, more steady mount, so you can leave it on there and not worry.

The K&L had to many pieces for me, and the one from Bagg it Hard is solid

Hbsoldier3, I just ordered 1 from the Facebook guy. But I had him make it shorter. So mine will be about 10” high instead of 15”.
Thanks for the hookup. It is just what I was looking for.
Rv7garage, here’s a couple pictures before I got the ultra limited. I constantly bang into things. But everything is dry & secure

From my personal experience don’t waste your money on the HF dolly. While pulling my ultra limted on it the bike pushes the jack and the rear sides out and the bike tips over. I thought the first time it was a fluke and it happen again another time. No fun trying to lift a 980lbs bike off the ground when the dolly keep sliding out. I had the use ratchet strips tied to my garage roof rafters and the the crash bars to lift the bike to get the dolly out . Then I was able to lift the bike upright. Ugh what a day. Needless to say I am also shopping for a new dolly.
