Cheers Ian

Mick (foreeverinthegarage) is making me one at the moment after I saw one he made for his friend with a Harley. (i.e. very strong to take the weight) I will post a picture when its complete. He is looking at making a few and offering them on here at a discount. Nice long wooden table.

I`ve just done a swop for a "Homebrew"workbench but it seems too tall.
What would you suggest as a good workable height?Anglegrinder at the ready

I have one very similar to this, only thing i would change is the way it lifts. I would prefer scissor type as this goes straight up and down rather than this design. Either way i would not be without one, i'm contstantly working on one bike or another so saves back ache etc. Always have one bike up on the stand to save space. Money well worth spent.

I've got a Sealey bike lift - works well and very stable. Also has a panel at the back to make rear wheel removal easier.

I have a Sealey bike lift. I wouldn't be without one.

Mine is designed to be used with a centerstand :oops:

I have managed to bolt a piece of bent (U section) stainless chequer plate to support the rear wheel, (not shown in this pic). If I were buying another one, I would buy a full length version, although the short bench does save a lot of space.

I'm sure this is where i got my bench, actually bought 2 for about Â£430. One for a pal. Had for about 4 years, excellent value.
