I've got a Sealey lift. I usually put a 1.5 inch thick block of wood under the sidestand first and this makes it easier to line up when I slide the lift underneath the engine. The 1500 engine is flat enough for the Sealey rails to sit on level without using wooden shims, but other bike engines might be a real challenge.
One thing I've learned with these lifts is that they are really a compromise. You need to have leveland solid groundto work on, ie not hard mud or tarmac. Also you can't pull and push too hard at the bike even with it tied to the lift. You just need to be careful is all. :waving:
