Princess Auto 1000 lb motorcycle lift on sale $600
- Thread starter Relax
- Start date
I love my lift and it paid for itself in one year of ownership and not needing to go to the shop to do simple work.

I just wish I could find a decent wheel vise for mine that wasn't close to what I paid for the lift

Pretty sure I just saw one the other day on FBMP
I'd love to have one of these, but realestate is so tight in my garage with the Spyder and all the other stuff/tools I have out there that I'd literally have to park my bike on it every time I'm back from a ride, and I wiggle my bike into the space between the garage doors (yay for reverse!) so that there's more space to walk past it, so I'm not sure that would even work from an angle perspective.

A wheel chock or two ratchet straps are your best bet.
That wheel chock is great. Park my bike in it after every ride and it’s super stable.
Great price.

Note that this is a little shorter and narrower than the black one of the same capacity, in case you intend to use a rear stand and/or separate wheel chock with it. I bought this (back when it was only rated for 800 lbs) and returned it for the black one because my Pit Bull single-sided rear stand was too wide and wouldn't fit.
Platform Size (in.) 81-1/8L x 21-5/8W
've got that wheel chock and find it doesn't work well with narrow adventure style tire, my harley worked great in it. my AT not so much

I had the same problem with my 2011 CBR125R's 100 front tire. I ended up parking it backwards and the 130 fit fine.
With wheelchocks, you want as much adjustability as possible.
The one I use has 30 different possible configurations.
You might spend $99 USD on the one I use instead of $60 CAD or whatever, but I have been using this thing more days than not every year, sometimes several times a day, for the better half of a decade, and I have yet to find anything that doesn't fit on it.
I've had everything from 50cc scooters and mopeds, to 1,800cc oldfartglides, stretched gsxrs, adv bikes with big front tires, whatever.
The only thing that ever gives any issues, and this would apply to any wheel chock, is fully custom choppers with front fenders that almost hug the ground.

I agree if you're servicing other people's bikes, but for someone like me who primarily has 17" tires on everything, the PA chocks are hard to beat.
That said, I also have a Baxley LA Chock which fits anything from an 80 to a 190 tire, and 15" - 26" wheels. I use it to park one of my bikes backward between two others parked forward when I really want to squeeze them together.
Thanks, i never really thought of that
