Titan motorcycle lift

[vanguard138]

Finally decided to bite the bullet and bought a Titan lift today. Will make working on the bike a bit easier. Lots going on ans I hope ro start installing the keyless entry,and PDM 60 along with the McCruise next week.

Now that is one good looking lift, how much?

1,000 out the door. The wheel drop piece has a tire roller for doing your wheels too.

Very nice, looks super sturdy. I spent a bit less (not much less, though) on a hydraulic jack myself a while back, it's massive, though mine lifts under the frame which leaves the wheels loose. It's a European model, a Bahco. More fiddly to use as you have to get it under the bike, but having the wheels spin freely is nice.

How is the lift working for you ?

I'm curious . . . trying to picture it in operation.

I can immediately see the benefit of having the business at a height where I don't have to bend over or kneel.

Can it be set at an arbitrary height . . . or is it digital all the way up or all the way down ?

And while I see reference to a "standard rear wheel dropout" . . . I don't know what that means. I don't see, from looking at their photo, how using that stand enables one to change wheels solo. Might you explain ?

Hey Paul,

It is great!! It has a bar,that as it goes up it alips knto notches in about 4 positions. You get to one of those,at a height you want and release air and the crossbar locks into place.

You would need a center 1000 lb jack to lift the bike, for wheel changeing. Titan has,one that looks pretty good.

Sure saves wear and tear on the back.

Will,send a pick today with it up.

Srill,waiting for a response feom McCruise on the vacuum lines. My tourer is nothing like the photo and there are two hoses. Do not want to splice a T into the wrong one.

Here are a couple pics. I definitely like it. As you can see you can lock it in several different positions.

Thank you for posting.

As nice as that is, I'm inclined to think rather along with others who prefer a center lift in order to more readily access the wheels.

I use the same lift. Works great for me

Amigo,
Save yourself a headache and just do one thing at a time. Be sure it is working perfectly before starting on another. Trust me, I know from changing several electrical things at the same time I did my PDM60 and keyless ignition.
