4 Motorcycle Lift Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed
You’ve made the smart move and invested in a high-quality Handy motorcycle lift. Your back feels better, your garage looks sharper, and wrenching on your bike is finally a pleasure. But what if you could take your setup from great to game-changing?Â
While a motorcycle lift table is a must-have, a few key accessories can transform your workspace and unlock a new level of efficiency. Here are five motorcycle lift accessories you didn’t know you needed.
1. The Cycle Vise
You’re probably already familiar with a cycle vise; it’s the classic, go-to accessory for any motorcycle lift. The primary job of the motorcycle lift wheel vise is to securely grip your bike’s front tire, holding it firmly in place as you work. Â
Many new lift owners ask, “Do I really need a vise?” We lean towards yes. It allows you to confidently move around your bike and work on it without the fear of it toppling over. For anyone tackling a big project, a quality cycle vise is non-negotiable for both safety and convenience.Â
2. The Scissor Jack
A good scissor jack works seamlessly with your lift table to stabilize your bike exactly where you need it. This simple addition can save you a ton of time and effort, making routine maintenance and more complex repairs a breeze.Â
3. Side Extensions & Trike Attachments
Got a larger cruiser, a custom bagger, or even a trike? Standard lifts are designed for average motorcycles, but what about the wider rides? Side extensions and trike attachments are the answer.Â
These attachments bolt directly to your motorcycle lift, expanding the work surface and providing a stable platform for your biggest machines. Working on a wide bike or a three-wheeler on a regular lift can be dangerous, but with the right attachments, your workspace is both secure and spacious.
