Vertical Horizon Fork Lift Stand Review
Several months ago I purchased a Vertical Horizon Fork Lift Stand for my Zongshen 200GY-2 motorcycle. When used with a swingarm stand, this fork lift stand greatly facilitates removing the front wheel from my motorcycle.
![]() ![]() I purchased this fork lift stand on eBay, for about $35, from a different vendor than the one shown in the link below. However, my fork lift stand is the same model, only it is red in color. ![]() http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motor...item35aac70108 I moved the springs on the support rods to the outside of the stand, and I bought some washers from the local Ace Hardware store to adjust the width of my fork lift stand. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This fork lift stand is very sturdy, and very easy to use. Changing the front wheel is a very easy job while using this fork lift stand, and I am very pleased with this product. ![]() Spud ![]()

It looks like an easier way to do it than hanging the bike on a pulley from the ceiling.

A friend gave me one of those as a gift but I barely use it. I always find myself using the lifting center one. It's good to have bikes with "flat belies"

Yes, a lift stand is also convenient. However, I prefer to raise the forks on my 340-pound, Honda XR650L with the fork lift stand.
