Hello Dolly?

[SimonTemplar]

A couple years ago, I went on a search for a dolly of sufficient length and weight capacity for our F6B's. After quite awhile and a lot of effort I found there just wasn't anything at all that appeared to fit the bill.....everything was either not capable of the weight, or it was woefully short. So....I finally gave up and went with a J&S Jack.

I don't really regret the J&S. It does a great job and it makes most maintenance chores a LOT less painful. One gripe I do have is that it is rather fiddly getting it positioned properly under an F6 prior to lifting. I put up with it...but for parking in my overcrowded garage, I still would rather have a dolly.

Lo and behold, a recent trip poking around ebay has turned this up......

Anyone have one of these? What do you think? Still shorter than I'd like....but they claim it will (albeit just barely) handle the wheelbase of an F6.




What do you think?

That's odd, I've also got a J&S jack (with the GL1800 adapter) and it's a no-brainer to position it correctly. Slide it under, look underneath to make sure it's positioned correctly and up she goes. And you're right, it makes life a lot easier with this bike.

Here's a dolly that should work.

Saw that at the MC show at Javits in NYC. Very nice. it would work!

Not to be cheap, but.....at nearly $500 (well over 500 once you pay for shipping) it should not only fit the bill but give you a good kiss and a reach-around as well.

I did find a couple others that 'should' work ...but they were equally as outrageously priced.

those look like they are more for moving your bike around thus "dolly."
I'm looking for something that'll raise it up when I need to work on it. What are you guys & gals using to lift it like that??
