always on the lift no problems here .... in Ohio its on the lift from about Dec till March every year ... it takes up less space when straight up instead of on the stand
If the stand scares you (tip or fall) you can take a pair of 6X6's x 13-16" and add a 2x4" also 13-16" on the 6x6's..
slide them under the frame and your bike should be plenty off the ground
OK how many 12 packs do I have to buy my buddies to lift the bike on them?
I've often wondered, if the jack was not functional in the spring how in the hell would you get the bike off the jack? BTW, I store mine in the basement on a Sears jack and have lost a few minutes of sleep over this.
I store mine in a shed on a jack. I go out once a week and adjust the jack leaving just a little pressure on the forks. I also turn the wheels so they are not resting on the same spot.
