    Thank you for taking the time to do this thorough review of the lift. You’re the only person who has shown the process involved in loading and unloading a big, heavy cruiser/tourer bike. Thank you for that!
    I find the loading/unloading process too dangerous. I would have preferred them having removable side panels to enable riding the bike up to load it on to the lift. And then to unload the bike you could sit on the bike and push it back with your feet on those side panels.
    Again, thanks for the effort put into making this video and for helping me with the decision making process.

    • @RidingandWrenching
      @RidingandWrenching  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Agreed! I feel that their promo video is deceptive because they use a light weight bike and don't show the actual load/unload process.
      It would be easier to use if you could ride on/off the lift

    Thanks for the review. I have an older Kendon lift that is just like yours, except it does not have a pneumatic cylinder. It is fully manual. I've used it for many years and it has worked very well.
    One thing that you could do on a followup video is show how the lift can be stood up, and rolled up against a wall for storage. This is a feature unique to these lifts, and it allows people to store them out of the way when not in use.
    A consideration when buying one of these lifts is getting the right length. Kendon makes the lift in two lengths. Most bikes have shorter wheelbases, and the rear tires end up in front of the removable panel in the back of the lift. These bikes cannot take advantage of the removable panel to remove the rear wheel.
    Thanks again.

    Regarding your comment about needing to be a bit mechanically inclined to assemble the beast - if you're not, you probably shouldn't be buying one. IMHO. 😁

    Thanks for the review on the Kendon Cruiser lift. I have the same lift and made modifications of ray lift to be able to have small platforms on each side that I fabricated myself for the permanent or removable applications on the lift. I have my 2015 Ultra Limited that stays loaded all the time with all my gear as I ride it daily. I will post a video on my channel showing this very soon. I love my lift and I also fold it up after using.

    At first I thought this would be perfect, but then I"m also thinking the wide platform HF style might be better for the extra work surface. I suppose it comes down to whether you need to move it when not in use. Air lift vs 100 pumps? I'll spend the extra for air when I finally buy one. And yeah, manufacturer demos with tiny women and MSF bikes..

    The tie downs are all pulling to the rear..the same direction the bike comes off. The front strap may not let the wheel rise up enough to go over the check, though. I usually tie front and back in opposite directions, depending on whether I'm pulling a wheel. May be something to think about..Good video!

    • @RidingandWrenching
      @RidingandWrenching  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great point. I had to look at the video again to see what you were talking about. The bike seems very stable while strapped down. The chock is going a good job hold it in place. I think the front strap is pulling downward enough into the chock to hold it in place. I've lifted the bike a couple of times with only the front tied down (but I dont recommend anyone else do that!)
      I shook the bike quite a bit while fully lifted to ensure it's stable. I'm satisfied with the results.
      You made excellent points!!

    • @RidingandWrenching
      @RidingandWrenching  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not easy! My very first attempt, I couldn't get it off the wheel chock! I had to have a friend help. Once I adjusted the wheel chock, it was easier. I suspect it will be easier the more I use it. I am comfortable using it. A shorter person or someone (a little less strong) might struggle.

  • @jonprice1241
    @jonprice1241 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice tutorial overview! I’ve got an older version of your lift with no adjustment options for the chock. It handles my ironhead Sportster just fine. I might recommend keeping a small scissor jack under the bike while it’s on the Kendon lift, even if it’s in the lowered position. This adds more stability and is a safeguard should a user experience loss of tire pressure which would greatly reduce tie down strap tension. Especially concerning for those choosing to keep their bike on the lift for an extended period of time. It’s cheap insurance in my opinion.

    • @RidingandWrenching

    • @RidingandWrenching
      @RidingandWrenching  ปีที่แล้ว

      Loading is easy. Unloading is a skill! I am not concerned about it, however a smaller statured person might struggle. There are adjustments to the wheel chock that can make it easier to pull off of the wheel chock. The key is to make sure you're not pulling the bike over a hump. You want the wheel chock level with the ground.

      There is a center stand that is a separate accessory that enables tire changes. You would need some type of center stand for any lift to do a tire change
