Garage moving kit, stands, lifts... Any recommendations ?

Post by **Dave** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 7:16 pm

Who has a dolly, mover , lift with castor wheels, stand, wheel chocks or anything they can recommend ?

Having moved a few bikes around at the weekend, it is a proper pain of a job, then sometimes in a tight space you have to move from the front of the bike to the side to drop the stand...well it is asking for an oops to happen if one is over confident or not fully on the ball.

I am looking recommendations about ease of use for one person operation, as well as the reliability and confidence in use.

Any recommendations ?

I think Abba lifts are popular and that type of lifts.

I bought paddock stands from BS-Motoparts-uk on ebay.co.uk as no factory centre stand on the MK3 Versys

The rear stand is on castors as i'm very tight for garage space, IMO it's excellent, very sturdy.
I don't have a tail tidy so need to be precise with placement so I don't knacker the number plate.

ConStands Mover II was the name of the rear one. I haven't used the front one yet (space to be created)

I was thinking about these kind of stands. Pricy, especially second one. But second got the video of how it works.http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Product.d ... AuNY8P8HAQ

I have a buck standard paddock stand and I have not needed for anything more. Used to have centre stands for maintenance before.

If I need to turn the bike on the spot I just use the kick stand.

My current bikes have not had that abuse

But I have done that in the past when I have been in a rush, but I donâ€™t not like doing it

On the Versys forum I go on I saw one of these, the guy who has it loves it!
