Awesome lift. I'm pretty jealous. "poisoning program", Fantastic, I'm stealing that. :))
Lol, yeah its a great lift, careful where you say it, I lost a lot of friends that way
“As an upcoming UA-camr I’m on 30 cents an hour” Mate, you’re raking it in!😂
lol
Yeah - in spades.
Safe rides 👍🤜
Thanks for watching
Wish I had a lift. Most of the time I am just instructing my boys anymore. Because if I even bend down for 15 minutes pain is horrible. I fractured 3 disks in a bomb blast in Iraq. So a lift would allow me to work more with them.
Boxers are the best ♥
thanks for watching - yes they are
I do my own oil changes but for anything else I utilize the dealer. Since I’m nearing 250,000 miles they know the bike well and always treat me really well.
There are a lot of good dealers/shops around
I know a guy who works on bikes in his garage. He has a lift like yours. But he cut a hole in his floor with the help of his cement worker friend. Now when the lift is all the way down the top of the lift and the floor is level with each other. No more driving up a ramp and don't have to worry about tripping on the lift when it is down. Wasn't cheap but so convenient.
Yeah that would be perfect
Hi Manuel,
yes, we now have a very nice low-profile 600kgs ‘electro’ workbench available - which can also be ‘flush-mounted’… but of course you’ll need to do some minor excavation…
It doesn’t need air - and plugs into a domestic 240V/10amp wall outlet. Very, very smooth hassle-free operation…
New to Australia and a new product for us - so not on the Hero Hoists website yet.
But of course you can make an enquiry through the website to get the spec sheet and pricing…
We can offer OND subscribers a $200.00 discount on it…
Thx, Rohan

Good point, my lift skips across the floor when I drive up on it unless I brace it against the wall, I always thought imbedding in the floor is ideal.
😎👍
Big thumbs up for the channel...
Thanks again, appreciated
100% agree with your choices mate, the pdf Harley manual I got had 2 slightly different manuals that covered later years, got my lift 5 years ago and it saved my knees and back greatly, I have a Mikuni HSR 45 and can adjust it myself, old boilermaker with enough mechanical skills to be dangerous, but yes we are always learning and online research is part of the fun.
Thanks mate
Good info and encouragement, in regard to rising costs. Start doing more hands on yourself. One service alone would most probably pay for the lift.
Thanks Leanne, depends on how much you pay they range in price
you can get the PDF printed and 3 hole punched for 40-70 dollars at many quik print places then find a standard 3 hole binder
Thanks great idea
100%, sick n tired of lying on the ground. Funny you mention cleaning while on the lift, last weekend I was having some work done on my other bike, and on the lift noticed oil on the other side of the head to where I was replacing the part. Turns out a few o rings had perished, so had them replaced too. I’m now saving for a good lift, I’m more likely to want to work on the bikes if I’m not on the ground.
Always love Boxers .❤
Awesome arnt they!
Another interesting and informative video and I have another tip regarding your bike lift. If you lay face down on it and raise and lower it repeatedly, you'll fool your body into thinking it's doing push ups. You can work out and not break a sweat! 😉
lol, I'm onto it!
Personally, the push-up bars that have the non-slip feet would be a perfect accessory to place on our motorcycle workbenches…
(much easier on your wrists…)
I think I’ll start offering them as an accessory…
😏
My lift table is one of the best investments I made as well….will have to try those elevated pushups 😂
Lol
I absolutely love my Suzuki haha,so much fun and cheap $$$to buy
Lol they make a great bike!
@@OldNotDead-Club yeh I know🤣🤣
The new Harleys are works of art...beautiful bikes!
@@gixxusmetalman7435 i think so
Great video Ayman,I do the basic servicing, and it's,very therapeutic 3,hole oil change,ect,your boxer looks a great character, regards Mike uk 🇬🇧,
Thanks for watching Mike
You are so right ,yes push ups with a dog are tough to get done but they just don’t want to left out of anything the master doses😂😂😂
Lol
Oh my I need a air lift in my life !! Please Santa I’ve been a good girl!!
Thanks for another awesome video Aymen , keep em coming 😊
Thanks again Karyn
We call ‘em Pneumatic Motorcycle Workbenches…
The model Aymen has is our new 500kgs model with an upgraded HD Pro Wheel-clamp and Side Extension Panels…
The model on our website has been upgraded to this new model from the original 400kgs version….
I’ll update the website for 2024 - promise…
😁
the most important harley upgrade is a boxer. I loved my boxers. Sammy lived 15 years and Bugera die to soon with cancer. I still have Izzi( pitbull) and in a month she'll be 17. thats the dog i tour with but i really miss my boxers.
Sam used to hide around the corner when i was comming up from the basement, and like kato spring out and try to punch me with the goofiest look on his face. Id box him for a while before i came up.
Thanks, they are awesome dogs
Another great video mate. All valid comments! DIY can be empowering and educational at the same time, and having a decent lift is a must....for us old bastards with bad backs! 😉 Listening to your bike when riding is also a must....learn to hear things out of the ordinary and also haptic responses with the way things feel are also important. If it doesn't sound or feel right....look and do something about it! Ride safe mate!! 😎
Thanks - wise words
I bought a lift similar to yours, best investment ever for working on the bike or the four wheelers couldn't stand laying on the ground either great vid
Thank you
Yup, we have a dedicated UTV Workbench too…
And, our 1000kgs ‘electro’ Motorcycle Workbench can accept ATV Panels and a front extension panel too…
It has both front and rear drop-down panels - and doesn’t need air. An integrated power unit and an optional Portability Kit make it very versatile…
OND viewers get the Portability Kit for FREE, and 10% off any accessories…
We don’t compromise on quality… that’s why Aymen chose a Lift King Motorcycle Workbench…

Great video mate. Ive been looking for an elevated bike table thingy. It might even be good enough for my old ZX10 as well as the Street Glide.
Thanks Steve, makes a world of difference
Another great one!! THANKS.
Great looking lift, FYI, I use a short price of 2x4 board on the floor of the lift to set the jiffy stand on and the bike stands straighter while I clamp and strap it FREE handed.
Great tip! Thank you
Aymen put a thundermax you’ll never regret it V Twin does them
Thanks, but prob not as I've already paid for mine. What would I get that I don't already have?
I have a twenty eleven ultra Limited And I use the fuel pack 3. I dialed in the parameters for the equipment. I have put on It and then. I put it in auto tune mode and rotate around for a couple of days and it runs real nice.
Yeah, the problem with those basic tuners is you are limited on what you can do to your bike.
Just realized you recommended exactly the same 3 things I did at the beginning of the video!
3 most fundamental steps.
I need the side steps on my lift because it's a little hairy sometimes with no where to put my feet!
I bought traction tape to grip the tire to the lift. Wish I could show you a photo from USA mate.
I also have the Power Vision Tuner with 2 licenses, 1 for each bike. My 2012 FAT BOB & 2019 Roadster! You can constantly update the auto tune and get your bike finely tuned.
Love your content
Specially love your boxer I had one myself , they are most loving friendliest loyal breed , miss my bIg brindle male DARCY
Thank you, yep special dogs!
I definitely need a bike lift!.... and especially with the side panels!... I know guys who have gotten lifts but didn't think about side panels until they rolled up on it and then realized they had no foot room !!!!
Yeah, very easy to ride up onto a lift with side panels
Closest harley Dealer to me is about 2 hours. So its easier to go there and buy the parts or have them mailed and then do the work myself at my pace.
I built an air bag lift table which makes working on the bike so much easier.
Tyres, drive belts, forks, and handle bars etc, all easy enough to do myself. On a Softail.
As you said its very rewarding and fun to fit new products and repair your own bike.
Thanks for watching
I have two of the three, I will be getting a tuner soon, and from fuel Moto, I agree what an outstanding value they give for setting up your tune just from purchasing from them, why would I buy a tuner from someone else. that’s an awesome marketing tool they use, hope they never go away from that. I always look to them first.
UPDATE: I just purchased the tuner from fuel moto, let your subscribers know, currently fuel moto has the tuners on sale plus an added $25.00 Christmas discount.
Thanks
Go to the hardware or grocery store and ask the manager for some big pieces of cardboard. They are great to lay on the floor next to your lift and when you're done, just store them behind the big cabinet in the garage.
You will have to explain that one?
@OldNotDead-Club I think he means the cardboard is easier on the feet and legs as opposed to a cold, hard concrete floor. Either that or you can lay on the cardboard and work on your bike with the lift down. 🤪 But, I would bet he means the first option.
@thejerseyj5479 First option is correct. Saves the knees and no cold butt.
@@mrman487 i used an old piece of carpet but we got flooded a couple of times and it started to stink

@@OldNotDead-Clubthanks mate but I’m not on facebook.
How often are you changing your bike these days?.,Ive had Sportsters then a Streetbob now I have a Heritage 21 ,I see you have a very nice bike ,I like the simplicity of the Heritage ,but I like RKS also,I’m trying not be like a kid in a candy store (65yo).
Trying to hang onto them longer and longer
hi mate, where's your work safe safety boots around the 11 min mark of this clip,,,, pmsl
Lol
Poisoning program?
It's code, think it through
I was totes triggered by your Suzuki gag
Lol, when I was filming "Suzuki" just popped out lol
If you are going to sit on a dyno instead of hitting the open road, pay someone to tune it 😛
“I got 6 extra HP @ 5600 RPM 💪”…. 🙄
When you ride onto the lift the wife should be there to clamp the front wheel. just saying.
Lol she should be ... but that would be annoying for her when I can do it myself and annoying for me when I can do it myself.
