A mechanic I know has these work bike stands that you can insert below
the bike after you raise the bike with a bike lift then you remove the lift
and it is easy to work on the bike specially for the engine oil changes.

they look like a little table with one open side so you can squeeze into the
lift area. This mechanic claims he can get them at Harbor fright tools but I checked their website and did not see them. BTW they are orange color.

Thanks

 

You mean the ones that look like this? http://www.speedsupplies.com/accesso...asp?item=39750

 

yes 'Dawg" just like that BUT without the wheels and they cost about $90.
Thanks that is pretty close

 

I bought mine at harbor Freight too but I don't see them on the website. Mine looks like this.

 

I just ordered a J&S bike jack, and now I have the HF bike stand like the pictured for sale at $45.

I sold the Sears jack and PepsX bike stand already.

 

How stable is that? Looks like the bike could just fall off if it shook or got tapped. And how do you get it on if you don't have a lift?

 

I bought 3 of these from HF for $30. each about 3-4 years ago and I have never seen them since. I did find one just like it after an extensive online search from another supplier but it was going for $250. plus. FWIW, it is a PITA to set your scoot up on this for just doing an oil change. I had to make some mods to it and my jack in order to be able to rest my scoot on it. I have it down to a science now for loading but I just use it now for winter storage. Makes it easy to push the bike up against the back wall of my garage.

 

The stand is for long term use. You have to have a bike lift to get it on the stand and then you remove the bike lift. I have used it once and actually I cant remember why I used it other than to try it. Not sure I will ever use it again but I have it just in case.
