SwitZer 1500lb Hydraulic Motorcycle Motor Bike Stand Quad Lift ATV Jack Hoist

Absolutely fantastic and a bloody must bit of kit!!!
Bought for my Yamaha v star 1300, which is not only heavy, but an absolute... ***** ... to squeeze a jack under and position to just hold the frame, without putting any strain on the engine.
This fitted the job perfectly! Albeit 4 bits of wood, so the jack would contact the frame before the engine, but that was expected.
Quality of this jack is truly phenomenal, I’ve seen a couple reviews mentioning the jacks arms slide/move around, whilst this is true, I found this to be in favour, seeing it meant you could move the frame slightly to miss the engine/various shipping eye hooks, without having to move the whole jack, soon as the jack takes the weight of the bike, this is no longer any issue.
I’ve removed all mudguards, tank, forks, and both wheels with this jack, the only issue I had was removing the front forks/wheel, and finding the bike wanted to tilt backwards, of course my error for just chancing it and see what happens, if it wasn’t for this jack having ratchet straps, tying the bike to the jack itself, it may have been quite an expensive mistake to make!
However luck on my side, the rear wheel touched the ground, bare in mind this was on the jacks second level up, and just stayed put, to my much big grinned surprise, I balanced the bike back up, and had a few blocks of wood under the rear wheel.
Lesson to be learned there! Blocks under the wheels, even the kickstand, will greatly help when, albeit silly, mistakes like these creep up on you!
I’ll ever be confident when lowering the bike, always seems to head down to fast! But that’s probably due to the bike being over a good 400 kilos!
Again, overall extremely happy with this purchase, recommend getting a good decent wheel chock, (if your bike does not have a centre stand), to have the bike completely upright, to give it that much more ease, getting it in the air so to speak!
Safe riding and safe working! ;-)

Amazing board would advise anyone to get it!
Absolutely amazing purchase have had no faults so far with it i can confirm it does come with a front 3.5" 2x usb 3.0 header [Does not include a 5.25 to 3.5 bay convertor but that should be included with your bought case] the motherboard itself is a beaut, the 'Asus' word bottom right lights up blue and this board can manage any overclock you throw at, it idles around 26 Degrees give or take, the main reason i bought this instead of the pro is that the deluxe has a little LED at the bottom called Q-Code and basically if (especially when you first put everything together) and it doesnt start up the way it should then the q-code will display a 2 diggit code that you would look up in the manual to identify the problem e.g ram failure etc which can be very useful instead of having to plug everything out and back in trying to find whats gone wrong... this is a truly a amazing board would recommend it to anyone! :)
