I've finally finished changing the brooder house into a shop/garage that I can keep warm this winter. My next step was to get a lift for the Roadster. I ended up with the cheapest Harbor Freight full table model, mainly because it's all they stock and wouldn't order the fancier models. The wheel clamp is worthless, so I thought I would put one of their wheel chocks to hold the scoot up until I could strap it up. My exhaust system caused me to remove my center stand, and I wasn't going to reattach the stand until I get it up in the air.
Anyway, the chock just doesn't work very well for me, I've tried every adjustment, but I think the bike would almost fall over if I let it . My side stand actually worked fine on the lift anyway, so I may as well have saved my money. The chock must be for thicker tire and wheel cross section. I wouldn't put it in the chock and walk away from it, like the box says.
Once I attached the center stand, it's all good again.
The actual lift is good, I really like it.
