Harbor Freight swing arm lift.

I picked this up for 27 bucks to do rear wheel work. They also have an adapter to lift the front wheel.

Music, that certainly seems to do the trick. I have one of the larger ones (primarily for sportbikes) that I got a few years ago. The fingers that support the rear are actually designed to go on the axle nut of the bigger bikes. Obviously that's not going to work on the Hawk. I may go haunt my local HF this weekend and see if I can scare up one of the models like this. I really like your tool-tube. Would you mind posting a few pictures of that, where you got it, and how you mounted it? Also, where in AZ are you? The missus and I will be moving out there the end of this year. We're looking to be somewhere between Phoenix and Vegas. Thanks!

Hello Emerikol, heres a good link of the storage tube here. http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=18224
I live west of Phoenix in Surprise AZ. Its a mix of retirement community and nice neighborhoods. My benefit is I'm not too far from hitting the dirt with my Hawk. If you want to be further out and have an acre or two. Try looking at Wickenburg AZ which doesn't get as hot as Phx. Or, for a little more city but not like Phx try Prescott AZ. Definitely not as hot as Phx and they get just a little snow in the winter sometimes.

I have the same lift that I bought a few years ago. Does the adapter come with it now, or is that available separately?

Thanks for the info. I plan to pop in this weekend, so I'll ask.
