I made my own out of a step ladder and 2 straps but a proper one would be a lot better/safer!

Personally, I use a semi professional bike work bench,, similar to this attached link. Versatile, makes working on me bike straight forward, no back ache!

Thinking of going this route too .. How easy is it to get the bike up on one of those and have both wheels out Grumpy? Any tips.. or is Eazy Rizer the only way to do that safely?

The platform has a loading ramp included. One the bike is on the bench, you can put the bike on paddock stands quite easily.:thumbsup:

I have similar, once the wheel clamp is removed (6 bolts) then it's a flat, liftable platform that will take any combination of stands;

Don't know how I managed before I had it, certainly makes lots of jobs much easier - checking front cylinder exhaust valve clearances, anyone?

As for ease of getting the bike on there, I leave mine in the middle of the workshop and 'park' one of the bikes on it, piece of cake... :thumbsup:

My boss is selling his hydrualic bike lift, as yet un-advertised.

All I know is he wants £200 for it...It's in Norfolk.

I can find out more or put you in touch if anyone is interested.
