<snip> The one heirloom came up with would be good for maybe oil changes but that's about it. Looks pretty impressive, but --------. Just my $.02

Actually, tejasx, the lift is good for anything you would need to do to any bike.  The drop panel in the rear facilitates removing the rear wheel, the front has an extension for long bikes (choppers), and it came with a mtce. jack to steady a bike when a wheel is removed.  Having any part of the bike at eye level has been a real back saver for me....yeah, I'm old.   Since I do service work on a fleet of training bikes (64 of them) the lift has been a real blessing.
Plus, all the folks in the neighborhood that ride have enjoyed it, including the 4wheeler group.  Yep, it is more than most folks need or would have room for, but, as I have a dedicated shop, the hydraulic lift has been terrific.

If you ever need your bike in the air, c'mon over!   O0

I have the Sears yellow jack with the Pepsx stand and use them both for a lot of things.  I had a red Sears one that I sold to Hooter.

My sincere apologies, tejasx!! My bad. That should have been "Hooter."  No biggie either way.  And, you can bring your bike by anytime, as well!!   O0

Well, believe it or not I got the OTC jack via UPS ..TODAY!  Much better than the Northern Tool one, and just $30 or so more...no tax and no shipping...not bad for a package that weighed almost 100lbs.  I'm happy... 8)

No problem, just don't want to get confused with Hooter, I may be as old as Al, but a little prettier.  ;D ;D ;D

If it does work, you'll find that it's the best thing in the world for cleaning the whole bike. Believe me, I know. O0 O0
