Good idea but there's one problem you might have to deal with. (I've had the same HF lift for at least 10 years BTW) If you have to pull a front wheel you'll have a hard time getting the bike up high enough to get the wheel out. It's made even worse with a full fender. I changed the POS chock out for a larger clamp style like what's on Handy lifts. Unbolt the front stop, jack the bike up with my flat belly lift enough for the wheel to drop out of the fender and just roll it out the front. I'll be changing the bolts out for some clevis pins when I get around to it.
I have the Central Pneumatics motorcycle lift table from Harbor Freight, (the predecessor to the Pittsburgh) that came with the air/ hydraulic jack. After about 12 years of frequent use, the pneumatic pump gave out and I manually pumped it up for about a year. I eventually converted it to a hydraulic cylinder powered by an electric pump. It was a good lift. Now it's a great lift. I'm in the process of converting my other HF lift. Video on that one is forthcoming. Here's the link to the video on the mods I did. ruclips.net/video/T6eHjhZNkXw/видео.html

yep I kept me motorcycle floor jack for that reason lol
How do u keep the stand from sliding around on the shop floor?
There is pegs that screw down and lift the lift wheels off the ground
If it still moves around with the front wheels jacked off the floor, a door stop under each rear wheel works well.
