Pulled the trigger

[Traumahawk]

I went ahead and pulled the trigger.

http://www.discountramps.com/motorcycle-lift-stands/p/BW-550/

Ive been wanting one for a while, and so been waiting for a sale. Right now its 15% off, because of Saint Patricks day.

I have their ramps, and thats what I used to go to Dannys to pick up the other bike. They have good quality stuff.

Cant wait for it to come in.

LOL.....true, but I have 2 3/4 Vmax's......the 3/4 is a project bike that i bought. Figured that it was time for a lift.

Thanks. I'm one of those people that is there is EVER a possibility of me needing a tool EVER again, usually I buy it.

Its still in the plans to have a southwest dyno day in Lawton one year, and I figure that my house will be the base of operations......so things like this help.

I thought about that one, but everyone that I spoke with said that i would need to change the wheel chock on those.......and a "Good" sturdy add on chock (Comparable to the Black widow one) was 144.

So I could either get the HF one, and add on the chock, or get the BW one, that was more complete in my book.

Good buy Traumahawk. I'm sure it'll get lots of use.

Those are the dogs mate, i'd love one

Black Widow makes good stuff. The foot activated pump is a good deal, mine is air driven and very sensitive to moisture.

Good purchase, you'll never regret it!! :clapping:

The combo bundle is a good deal, I looked at one before I found a good-condition Handy Lift and bought it. We expect big doings coming off that lift, now! Remember the pics.

Harbor Freight has their hydraulic lift on sale now for $279, a decent deal. Most guys replace the front wheel vise w/something better.

If you remember, BW was who built the ramps that I took up there. good quality stuff.

Yep, the cheapest and best chock that i could find was 144....so really close to the cost of the Black widow.

LOL, getting older and dont like having to lay on my back any more than I have to.

Yep, I got to see one up close and personal at Dannys, and really liked the thought of one.

Thanks.

Got it in today. naturally, I'm at work, but a friend of mine was there to accept it, and atleast put wheels on it, and get it into the garage.

Looks pretty good from the pic that he sent.

So looking forward when I get home to mess with it.
