I've had a Harbor Freight lift for a couple of years now and it works great for my Z900RS as well as my kids bikes (Z900, ZZR600 & Ninja 250). My biggest concern with the C14 is getting it onto and off of the lift. I put a locking wheel chock on the front of the lift to hold the bikes while I add tie downs or a swing arm stand. Of course this means that a proper heave is required when backing the bike off the lift.
The C14 is a good bit heavier than the bikes that I'm used to and it is top heavy too! It will probably have to be ridden onto the lift. (I walk alongside the other bikes and push them along when putting them on the lift). I built a 10" wide wood platform alongside the lift with the idea that I can walk alongside the C14 while feathering the clutch in order to get it on, but still not sure how to back it off.
Any works of wisdom would be appreciated.
