For wheel changes, brake pads, shocks, etc. it works fine. When I was in a 4 month major renovation project and cutting and welding and moving and changing and wiring and painting and moving and adapting.....the bench brought the bike up at a better height for visibility and access. Sometimes I even used the jack on top of the bench when changing the forks or wheels.
For general maintenance the jack works fine....for long term projects the bench is much better. With the bench however.....you still need some form of jack to get the wheels up off the ground on occassion......350 pound motorycles are hard to lift.....even one end at a time.
I see the advantage of having a jack. I just watched a video clip on YouTube comparing three jacks...
I need "something" to make my bike higher I don't need to knee down or sit on garage floor while working - it's a little bit harder in my age and condition
It's not a project. Just regular maintenance. I have to change air filter and fuel valve the following weekend. It would be much easier if I stand next to the bike.
