Scissor lifts / dolly for V11 and more... any body can propose something?

[p6x]

I took the final transmission off my Quota this afternoon, and reinstalled it to enable moving the bike.

Anyone using a dolly? such as this https://letsroll.store/product/lets-roll-low-profile-motorcycle-lift/

I've got a lift not unlike the one in that system.

It doesn't come with the "wheel around" part, though.

Although I can see the advantage in such a dolly, I have to admit I would be a bit nervous about using one. Over and above the fact that the floor in my workshop is in shit condition, and probably wouldn't allow the use of such a dolly.

 

The lift is really useful, though. The Becker lifter* under the bike to get the back wheel up, and that lift under the motor to raise the front end, and one can do pretty much any maintanence task.

* the Becker lift has been mentioned here before. This:

Yes. Better that way.

@audiomick, @docc

The floor of my garage has been surfaced and painted; it is as smooth as it could be. A dolly would work wonders for me. For example, if I had had one today, I would not have needed to reinstall the final transmission, put the wheel back to garage the bike behind my car.

Docc, the ceiling of my garage is made of sheet rock! There is nothing that will hold a bike. Those houses are cardboard built, with wood. Haussman built apartment buildings in Paris in the 1800. They are still standing and lived in.

The housing quality where I live is below everything I came across before... and I have been in many places, including some that do not have indoor plumbing...

Perhaps you are not considering just the scissor jack in the first link:

 

 . . . but, instead combined with the "dolly" shown in the video:

That's what I need. A way to move my bike around in the garage. But I need something that fits the Guzzi. I was trolling around to see if anybody else used one already, rather than starting a search for one that fits the V11 and the Quota.

I see that dolly is H-D specific. I recall someone here building a cradle specific to the V11 wide sump . . .

I found a dolly with adjustable width and height.
