I'm probably a bit lucky, in that my good lady wife is assistant manager in a decent sized hardware store, if I want any kind of tool, the staff buying pricing is usually quite significantly different to the retail price.

Note to self : get another wife that is assistant manager in a bottle store.

just wondering how you guys lift your bikes with a lift since the pipes go under the engine? Is there room to put wood in the corners or something? Was thinking about building a stand of some sort and hoisting my bike on it with the winch...

Paddock stand under the rear wheel and a block of wood under the engine just in front of the oil plug+ hydraulic jack and jack stands under the (thick strong) wood.Straps to a roof beam from the bar ends to steady it all.
A ramp would look strange in my grass hut....................

Is this the lift everyone is getting for $300 and how???

Also if you do have it or used it what is your review, I know there are some people that have posted reviews on HF. I was looking for someone in this community. Thanks

That's the one Indy. Pick up a bike magizine for the discount coupon. I just fitted mine with the wheel clamp from air/hyd model 94121. Call their parts number 800-444-3353. The item/part #34 for the whole clamp assembly. You must drill holes in the deck to fit it.

Mines slightly different Indy - But I wouldn't be without it

See link here Radum Pty Ltd

I got mine with the air assist as well. Plug it into your airline and away you go.

I probably paid at least $100 AUD less about 2 years ago.

Cheers, SB

That's the one Indy - one word of warning about them tho' some have pumps that
potentially fail after about a year.

If HF offer a warranty plan - get it !

Sorry Jimbo I meant to tell you that too - get the warranty - or if your cc has one then you should be covered.
