It says they're for ATVs.  I gather the 300 x 300 stand fits bikes too?

You've only got until Sunday to grab one.
They do mail order, but you'll need a largish letterbox.

Technically this post is in the wrong section, however the lift is completely useless for the ST1100 and I suspect the 1300 as well.

Bought one this morning: Whilst mechanically the construction is fine, being able to lift the ST100 (ie finding the fulcrum) is near impossible with the location of the side and centre stands.
Add to that, when you actually get the bike up in the air it is extremely unstable and the bike will slide off the lift arms, pulling the rubber off off the arms and then the bike falls off.

I decided that the only safe way to use this particular lift would be to weld it to the bike...   :well

I think the only suitable lift for the bigger types of bike are the Table lifts

I purchased this lift from Supacheap 1 year ago.
imho,it is UNSAFE for the ST1300...the bike teeters on it, is very unstable and you must have a very flat level floor (which I do not in my shed)
I would not recommend this bike lift for any heavy bikes like the ST. perhaps for mopeds and < 500 cc

I finally got around to cleaning up the bike cave area under my house, and in the corner, I found my poor old ST, in the way of my reorganisation. So I dragged out my SCA bike lift, and I can report that it works pretty well with my wheel-less, frontendless ST sitting on it. I dropped it to the lowest setting and after tying it down to the stand, I can safely move it around on the castors.

I agree that it would not be suitable for working on the fully complete ST, but once the balance point is located, it is great for maybe projects or wrecks.

BTW, I still have most of the ST (no panniers or mirrors though!), so anyone looking for parts, give me a PM and I can guarantee they'll be very cheap if I have them. :hijacked
