Great review on this! I remember when these came out and it seems like I remember them in the 80's or 90's. Didn't have much interest in them then but definitely like the space-saving features now. Thanks for the video.
Great, very thorough review. Was wondering if anything could be added to safely support the bike while elevating the front and rear whees to remove them for changing out tires. The video did mention jacking the frame to lift the rear wheel. Wonder if a similar thing could be done for safely supporting the fork?
What a great, well-put video. I’m hoping to get a used one soon (these aren’t made anymore, and I put a deposit on one that I found on OfferUp). I might have some future questions for ya (just started a technician job for a utility). Anyway, appreciate the great info., and hope u continue w/ the awesome vids. Go Navy!
i have no complaints against the harbour freight lift, but the fold up feature sealed the deal for me. Ironically, its rare I dont have a bike on the lift.
@@retrotechandelectronics Sportbike version is still available according to their site, which is perfect as I have a Ducati Panigale. The Cruiser/big bike versions are sold out.
I wonder if they didnt get much sales on these cuz even on the kendon website they are sold out with no re stock in site. bummer. this would be perfect for me right now
Thanks for this video. I really like the design but I'm concerned about the width of the platform. I doubt I could push my thunderbird up that ramp, but I'm not sure that width lends itself to riding up either
Aside from the easier 2 person push up possibility, ive seen some folks with larger bikes build a small removable structure that wraps around both sides so that they can ride it up and have a place for their feet.
Nice video. Now try pushing a 900lb Harley UL on to that lift. Almost impossible. I have one of those lifts. Also. Once the bike is in place with that chock. Almost impossible to get the bike out of it. Personnel experience .
finally got to see a good vidoe on this lift thanks
No problem 👍
@@retrotechandelectronics How do you still like it?
A comprehensive, practical and realistic review of this bike lift. Good safety pointers!
I check once in a while to see when it will be available again. I don’t know if it’s backordered or not in production.

My shovelhead series moves to this lift during the engine installation video onward. its proven great except for the hydraulic knob.
Finally....someone does a great vid on the lift.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Excellent detailed product brief. And great editing.
Much appreciated!

Excellent review! Have you created a follow up review?
Thank you.... The lift doesnt really need a follow up video. Its been used in many subsequent videos. A dedicated video would provide anything new.

Wow really? They stopped making these? Why?
The sport bike version is still available on their website
Brilliant video well done, thx. going for the Kendon now, not the Pitsburg-a-china from HF.

I’ve been considering this lift after getting rid of my full size Atlas lift…which was awesome, but just took up too much space.
This is a great lift. Have you checked on current cost or availability?

Excellent video.
Thank you!
Good review. As expected and thank you.
Thanks for watching!
My bike is on it now, starting around chapter 19 in the series as the engine goes in, it will be making an almost constant appearance.
GReat review. Very informantive. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

What a shame, its an awesome lift.
FYI - I just bought one so they are available.
Nice Delorean, dude!! 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks!
Excellent review. I ordered one!
Good choice!

The wet weight of the vstar1100 is 700 pounds so it’s not that far off and regularly goes on the lift
Does it wobble or otherwise feel like it would fall to the side when a bike is on it?
I’ve pulled this one from side to side with the bike on it and did not feel that it would tip.
@@retrotechandelectronics awesome that was the main concern i had. And theres next to no reviews on this lift. Thank you
I put my rocker c on mine and have no issues with wobble , or any stability concerns
Solid lift, but no staples in the manual, May be a dealbreaker
I know, you would think for the price you would get staples....
It is unfortunately made in China.
That and everything else.
