Motorcycle Dolly

[bbarry]

Can anyone advise if they have used a "Legal Speed" or "Black Widow Steel Motorcycle Jack" to maneuver their Valks around the garage?  Just looking for a good, safe way to lift and move the bike within my garage.

Thanks,
Bill

Check out harbor freight, they have one for about $100 dollars.

Then there is always something like this which MAY be easier to get the bike on and use.

Tried one of those harbor freight dollies took it back after assembly,not quite big enough for the valk in my opinion.

I have the Harbor Freight dolly, and, yes, it is about an inch too short. Also, the side stand doesn't land well on the side extension. I just got some stainless steel hinges and cut them down to extend the front end, with two bolts on each one to match the existing end plates. Works great now.

I have the HarborFreight dolly, yes it is slightly short, I use it as is and have no issues with any of it.  I pull the second handle up, it is kind of snug, but no problem, I would say it just makes it.   I have a 1999 Valk Standard.

I haves used the harbor freight dollies  for years.  Have had  up to 3 bikes stored in my garage in 1 car space... you can push them really tight when they're on a dolly... just don't push to fast or it will cost you a new  Baker air wing when they "bump" together.   


The harbor freight model is decent and around $59 - $79.  I know you can get more expensive ones that are similar, might be a little higher quality but harbor freight's model is good and has been working well for 7 years.

You do need a clean, smooth garage floor - it helps a lot for moving them around.

as a follow up to my earlier post -
the Valk  just fits on the harbor freight dolly.. when I flip the ramps at each end up,  I step down a little on them and the pinch the tires at each end  but it just fits fine with stock  size tires.

I don't think it would work with a car tire...

Here's a motorcycle dolly.  I don't think Harbor Freight sells this model.

Dam, if they did, I'd buy that tool.

Not complicated; this is what the extension looks like on the dolly:

HF dolly.....

I could not get my is on it.  the 3-4 times I tried, getting off, aligning it, locking down the dolly, etc,  my front wheel always seemed to catch one side on the ridge THROWING the bike off balance into the track.....almost ripping the handle bars out of my hands.  I had all I could do NOT to drop it.  after that many misses and scares, dismantle and gave it to a friend who has a 750cc.  works great for that.
