What lift do you like best for your KZ1000?

Ive used an engine hoist with a strap around back bone tubes of frame to pick a bike up in the air more than once.
Ive also been known to do the same thing with a backhoe or excavator if im working outside,garage ceilings tend to be too low.

Besidez having the above pictured bike lift,I also have a couple of swingarm stands, a stand that lifts my tracker from the frame and a front end standthat lifts from the steering stem. I can add pictures later if needed. Paul

Okay, first off... NO offense :lol:
These are the types of things I am trying to get away from! Man, the garage rafters in the house I rent now... I'd barely trust my own 160 pounds with, let alone a KZ1000 :lol:

Matt,
I can snap some pictures of it when I get home.. The front end lift is meant to be used with a rear stand and makes it much more stable. I've also found that it's a little short for some of my bikes, so I place the stand on a couple od pieces of scrap 2X12 wood for the extra 1 1/2" or so elevation. I've also entertained the option of merely putting bigger wheels on it to solve the elevation problem.

That's why I said an engine hoist,not rafters .
