    Please take a look at this e-bay post. I am interested in buying these for my bike. The price is right. I dont need the best just basic lifts. I will use them on other bike makes as well. Let me know what you think good or bad.

    That style front lift can work for a buell but isnt the safest. The front forks are different length, so it is best to use a front lift that connects just under the lower triple tree clamp. It will also allow you to move the wheel back and forthe while working on the bike unlike that style you are looking at.

    Like this but you have to use a rear stand when using this one otherwise the bike will just fall over since it only has 2 balancing points not a stable 3. I personally have the Pitbull stands and love them, they are pricey but work great for me.

    So it would be better if I by a universal rear and a front like yours due to the uneven forks.

    Cool!

    Ok, this is the swingarm motorcycle lift i ended up getting. It was very affordable. I just hope it does the trick. I will get a front lift like Xtremelows later when I need it.

    I didnt think I could put spools on my buell. Guess I was wrong. If i would have know that, I would have bought a diff lift. To late now, I used pay pal. I hope the one I bought will work.
