I'm trying to figure out how I really want to set up my garage for working on the bike.
My question is:
Would it be better to just get one of the frame lifting jacks or a lift table with the smaller frame lift for when ever wheel work is needed?
Thanks...

I then spent another $120 for a mini jack to lift the bike up on the table to allow work on the rear suspension.
Cost me about $300 out the door.
Last summer I bought a Harbor Freight table lift.
Or Pitbull jack.

Share lifts....
I don't have that room in a gerage.
Plus there's enough room to get lifts it's 2200, but that's better than $6K and a 15' lift.
lifts still easier, faster and safer than for jacks and jack stands.

Thinking more about this.The ? is winch or Hi lift jack. But there is a third
option.
Things you can use.
1 Winch
2 Hi lift
3 cumalong (sizes vary)
The last two are slow.But may get it done.

Ceiling is 12' 4" high.
Garage was built to accommodate the lift.
I just built a garage and had a BendPak 2 post 10k lb lift installed.
But, typically the most versatile lifts are 4 posts and are pretty cost effective.

Stands/jacks So soon I'll have an 08 690 Enduro w/ a sumo kit. My garage is a bit of an awkward space and my driveway is stupidly steep (my car cannot go up due to geometry). So backing a bike down, isn't a happy thought.
I've seen photos of jack/stands...
