Many riders like to wrench on their motorcycles almost as much as they like to ride. Any tool that makes working on motorcycles easier and more convenient is OK in my book. When doing things like changing tires or working on suspension components, the motorcycle has to be lifted in some fashion. This is where the Motorcycle Jack by Torin Jacks comes into play.
The Torin Jack has a 1500 lb. load capacity, which exceeds the weight of any motorcycle that I know of. It is a nicely styled tool with a foot-actuated hydraulic action. It is solidly constructed of steel with rubber pads where the lift contacts the motorcycle's frame. It can lift the bike to just over 16" from the floor.
There are some things that a potential buyer should note. If your bike has a full fairing, or under-frame exhaust, then this is not the lift for you. Also, if there are not frame rails under the engine on your bike, you'll need to make sure that the engine components will not be damaged when supporting the weight of the full motorcycle.
All in all, if your motorcycle's framework is compatible with this kind of lift, your life will certainly be made easier with this tool.
