Guest Zak202 Posted April 1, 2012 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2012 Does anyone use this, or do you think it will work on my 2001 RSV? http://www.harborfreight.com/motorcycle-swingarm-rear-stand-65620.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted April 1, 2012 Share #2 Posted April 1, 2012 Don't have it but manual says it supports up to 1,000 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted April 1, 2012 Share #3 Posted April 1, 2012 I'd have to vote "NO" on that one. I'll say I've never tried one on a bike the size of ours and not inclined to. My issue would be the bikes weight. These swing arm lifts are useful for dirt bikes and crotch rockets, much lighter, but I'd bet that the lift would bend under the weight of your bike. If it would lift it at all. If it would raise it then you have to be concerned about stabilty. That is a big issue once you have the bike up in the air. So....... My recommendation is go the extra bucks and go with a floor type lift. Even the cheapest ones for HF will do the job safely. IMHO. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyR Posted April 1, 2012 Share #4 Posted April 1, 2012 I don't think it would work. the left swingarm is the driveshaft housing, not = the right swingarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zak202 Posted April 1, 2012 Share #5 Posted April 1, 2012 Thanks for the advice. I was afraid of the weight issue also. That's why I asked. The knowledge on this site is second to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyRSTD Posted April 2, 2012 Share #6 Posted April 2, 2012 I would not use this at all on these beasts. Fuzzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted April 2, 2012 Share #7 Posted April 2, 2012 You wouldn't be lifting the entire weight of the bike, but still, if it could be used and I doubt it without adaptations. I wouldn't try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zak202 Posted April 3, 2012 Share #8 Posted April 3, 2012 I am not going to get one. I was just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
