All I can start off saying is what Snagglepuss said "Heavens to Murgatroyd"! (You old duffers will understand the time that we were hearing these Hanna/Barbara utterings).
I assembled my J&S Trike Lift yesterday and this morning, carefully, after reading the lifting instructions, proceeded to lift my 1200 pound 2017 Tri Glide Ultra about 3 feet off the ground. The trike was quite stable except if I introduced some lateral force on the right rear muffler which caused some very minor oscillations. How many of us have been able to get relatively painless, unfettered access to our Tri Glides underside? Not many unless you own a special trike lift or the J&S trike lift.
At first, I began to think that I had purchased a solution looking for a problem until I was able to get essentially unfettered access to the underside of this low-slung trike. After cleaning the inside/outside of the rear wheels and the front wheel along with the mufflers and muffler covers with great ease, I discovered that I am quite glad that I purchased this behemoth lift to raise my behemoth trike off of the ground.
To say that I was both impressed and intimidated at the same time would be an understatement. This is the newly re-engineered J&S lift that was specifically designed to be backward compatible with older Tri Glides and the new 2017 which presented J&S with the challenge of producing a lift that would accommodate the new muffler system that was changed with the M8-engined TGU's.
I will post about 7 pics of this very strange occurrence that happened in my shop this morning.
