Mike;
If you have the ceiling height in your garage, I would suggest that you consider a car lift and modify it to accommodate the trike. There seems to be a price war on in the car lift industry right now and prices have fallen by over 50%. I suspect that you can pick up a car lift now for slightly more than what a MC table lift cost!
The advantage of a car lift are several fold:
1) It is multi-functional, you can use it for your 4 wheel or 3 wheel vehicles!
2) You can adjust the height to any level you wish and work on the trike without bending over!
3.) With the exception of the front wheel, the entire bottom of the trike is open and accessible, unlike a table lift!
4) Mine is weight rated at 7,000 lbs. and has casters to move it around the garage if necessary!
5) You can double deck and stack two vehicles on top of each other!

That's the same lift my dad and I have right now. As a test we raised my 06 Ultra with me sitting on it. I figure the Ultra is about 800 with a full fuel tank and all the junk I keep in the bags and at that time I was tipping the scales right around 240#.

Good to know. I know it raised my dresser fast. I actually put in a ball valve shut off valve in my line so I can control the rate of lift. I floor the foot petal and crack the ball valve and control the rate of air.
