One thing to consider on those motorcycle lifts. Where the bike sits when placed for travel is where the air swirls at the back of the coach and with it a fair amount of dirt particles from the road....or in layman's terms....sandblasting area. If you cover the bike then you have the cover flapping and causing scratches too. I opted to get an enclosed trailer for the same money that I'd spend on the lift to protect my Hawg..... just my $0.02 worth....
