If you want to change the swingarm bolts/axle, attach the foot peg stabilisers up the other way, with the hooks through the foot pegs with the screw mechanism underneath the eyelet, that way, you get rid of the excess of thread which is currently getting in your way.
I just reviewed this and came up with the same thought. Also, I think it would be safer too so you don't have a "rod" tip that you could potentially hurt yourself with.
These stands are pretty much the same you see all over the internet. Slap different paint on them and a different company logo and market them but they are great stands. I have one from a different company and use it for a lot of different things. They are money well spent!
Thanks for the review!...just on the issue you raised about the swingarm removal...can't you invert the orientation of the j-clamps, so that you have the area above the footpeg free? (I can't tell but it appears the tightening nut has a washer that might rest under the u-bolt that you're clamping against...just a thought...
I keep forgetting to check and respond to this comment - as I recall, you need to relieve the pressure from the shock and it's a close fit. But I will do a test this evening to verify and get back to you! If you don't hear back leave me another comment!
Just tested. With the bike weighted on the suspension it won't fit. If you lift on the rear fender and relieve the pressure so the linkage is at its highest point it will roll under. Tested with a 98 YZ125
I will weigh it when I have a chance - from the few times I've lifted it up, I'm guessing roughly 40-50lbs. I'll try to get back to you on this in the next day or two
thanks so much - another quick question - says it can hold 300 pds - do think (I wont hold you to this) it can do 350 or 400? I need to raise scooters (mopeds) @ 350 pds
@@andrewleidner8142 I would guess they come up with their limits for a good reason. I could see it holding that much weight, but I doubt it could do it sustainably. With the balance of it I also don't think you'd be able to go very high with that much weight without worrying about tipping. They're very responsive - I'd get in touch with them directly to see if they have any suggestions for your use case. You can email sales@redlinestands.com. Let them know you found this video!

So nice to have in the shop!

Yes, you are absolutely correct. I've been doing it for ages now, and don't know why I didn't think of it at the time haha!
Will this unit role under a standard Dirtbike in the lowest position without the need to lift the bike by hand onto the stand?

Ever catch yourself on the threaded rod part of the hold down?
No but I realized I’m dumb and those are best used upside down from how I had them
how much does the unit weigh (not what it can lift) but ITS weight = thanks!
