I never realised they were so cheap. I might get one of those - my
bike only has a side stand, so I can't do any maintenance involving
slackening the wheel nuts myself at the moment!

 

They look okay, I will go and see if the local store has one today
priced at $175 on ebay with an extra $35 for postage, makes the Kmart one
cheap at $135

just checked around the kmart stores and they have sold out already

 

Just got one from Ballarat,

 

bloody cheap

but how secure would the bike be?
where does it make contact with the bike, underneath, but where?

it would make my life easier

Lend me your bike for an afternoon, and for the small consultancy fee of
$135 I'll perform a feasibility study for you. Wouldn't want to see you
wasting your money buying one if it wasn't suitable for your needs.

If it's like all the others of this type, it makes contact with
whatever's on the bottom of the bike.

So for things like full cradle frame dirtbikes or harleys, with the
frame rails.

For bikes with suspended engines like Guzzis, with the bottom of the
engine.

For bikes with full fairings, with a lot of expensive plastic....

oh to have a KMart within 100km of here ..

 

I think they sell on-line too. (I saw something about it at
www.kmart.com.au)

 

Two things to note.

1. This is probably made in China. Cheap lifts made in China have vary
variable quality control, and some have been suspected of being made
of licorice.

2. You have to buy or make "adapters" to suit your bike or the pipes/
sump/etc could be crushed.

Otherwise it looks good.

PS On the other hand if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

 

Hoi Marty,

It's really not an option unless you have a cradle frame or the option is to
make up a cradle to handle your bike and it's exhaust.

Super Tens don't have that problem....a host of other problems but not that
problem.

Thanks Clem - didn't spot that.

 

I so love my Super Ten. Wish it would come back from the shop
though......
