Motorcycle Center stand Dolly

Does any one use one, and are they any good?

Yes i have one and no not much use unless you have a smooth flat floor. I used to pop a bike into the corner of a garage on it to make room for working on another bike but I quickly learnt that a steel sheet on the floor gave the movement you needed to gain the extra space.

It depends on what you need to do I guess...

Iâve got four of these in my small garage, couldnât manage without them! They give great flexibility and are easy to use. These have the double castors and are great quality. German and bought on eBay for arouhttps://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=6FYpjjMy&id=0BF8E986682D9C75BCEBAB94A796D8BC568846E4&thid=OIP.6FYpjjMyWDghFp3TnIq7RQEsDh&q=motorbike+mover+dolly&simid=607997346158936948&selectedIndex=166nd £60 - none on there at the moment.

Then I would say yes, Not the easiest thing to get the bike set on but once you master it then it gives the flexibility you are looking for. Just remember you have to get your one wheel that is still in contact with the floor off to be able to move about. If your stand is on the balance point of the machine it's a meer press down on the seat while you push...

Cheers

I simply steer the bike to move it. Steer the bike into the wall and then push the back against the wall.

Thats what I have to do at the moment but with left side against wall. Bike a Commando on prop stand resting on wooden block and then drop right handle bar so I can squeeze past.

Chris, get some narrower bars, or seeing as you've got Jota bars just adjust them out of the way. Or buy a cheap crowbar and just lever the thing out of the way (under the tyre with the brake on) A rolling dolly is just one more tripping hazard floating around Laughing
