I saw these lifts at Sturgis and was impressed with them.  Very heavy duty, 25" lift height, and with turntable, can rotate the bike 360 degrees.  The price is not that high if you compare it to the price of a table lift and it doesn't take up as much room.  They have both hydraulic and air models.  I have no association with them, just thought some of you may be interested.

Did you have any problems using the lift with your Valk?

After Dunwell went out of business, Pitbull became the only high quality lift. They use cold rolled steel instead of mild steel which flexes too much. Sears has one which I've used and it's a great lift but not in the Pitbull class. But still a stiff strong lift. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00950191000P?mv=rr

I bought a pitbull and really like it .... I used a strap and jack stands for added insurance but prolly wouldn't have needed too. It has no problem lifting the Valk and I use the permanent adaptor by the side stand.
