John, did you ever settle on a lift? With the completion of my new Garage Annex, I find that I’m kicking tires on one now too. Must be able to put the riding mower and golf cart on it for service too. The heaviest would be the CVO Ultra. Seems that most of these with extensions are 48” wide which works for my needs but I’m leaning towards a 1500 lb. capacity.
I have had this lift since 1999, I don't remember the brand but I think it's probably a Direct Lift, I bought it for my motorcycle shop and kept it when I sold the shop in 2003.
I had 5 Handy lifts and this one, I kept this one because I like the diamond plate surface and things don't roll around on it as much as they do on the smooth surfaces.
20 years of use and abuse and it still works like the day I bought it.

I've been researching lifts for for some time now. One thing I know is there are a lot of good lifts on the market. I would be happy with several, but the one at the top of my list is the Handy SAM 1200.
[QUOTE=Mallard Slayer;18543857]I have a Direct lift paid around $650 for it had it about five years now, works great no issues also purchased the extensions for my ATV's also. when not using it for bikes it makes a handy work space for other things/QUOTE]
I have had a direct lift for over ten years. I bought it to work on my RoadKing, I had to go to a trike and now use it for my Freewheeler, Can-Am 4 wheeler and several garden tractors and mowers. Highly recommend it.
