Ha, this chickens spring has sprung!

 

Working off a lift is the cats a$$, I'm glad my crawling around on the floor days are done.

 

I see they have the trike lifts ready for production at J&S Lifts. After watching the video I had concerns about the lift working on my 2010 trike because I have running boards and in the video they put the lift under the frame just in front of the rear fender, this will be a problem if you have the running boards installed. I did send an e-mail to J&S and they ask for some dimensions so I took the measurements plus photos and sent the info back. I haven't heard back yet because it's the weekend. My gut feeling is they will need to do a mod for the trikes with running boards. Has anyone else noticed this as a possible concern?

 

$750 is expensive? Not really, for a table lift thats rated at 1500 pounds, with side-extensions, wheel chock, front extension, and a service jack. I bought the exact same one a year ago, and absolutely love it, and it's much more stable than any jack, as it has a larger footprint than a jack does.

In the market of table lifts, this is very competively priced. Many other lifts are easily twice as costly. And as for taking a lot of space, if you park your bike on it like I do, it takes almost no more space in the garage than the bike itself.

 

Thats for sure. Even cardboard isnt soft enough for me anymore, haha

 

You guys are just getting soft.

 

Is 48in wide enough for the Tri Glide?

 

My lift is 52" wide and a trike will hang off by 1" on both sides on the rear wheel threads.

 

Thanks. I was pretty sure 48" would be pushing it.

 

Oops.. meant "rear wheel treads"...

Yup.. 48" would be pushing it a bit but not too bad. 3" hand over on a 8" wide rear tire.
