Title: motorcycle rear wheel slider
Post by: 2kwacks on February 04, 2014, 07:42:59 PM
dose anyone know off or can suggest a quality constructed "under the rear wheel plate type" with dolly wheels, so my bike can be pushed on to it.. with ease, "in a limited space" so the bike can then be pushed and pulled "sideways" I can get both my car and bike into my garage but need to push the bike side ways into a space that only just big enough for the bike

Can you not leave your new car out on the road or if you did would it not be there in the morning?  :whistling:

I've got one of these which I picked up for £50 to rotate the bikes rather than push them back up my driveway. It's not easy but manageable.

This is what I've got. They demonstrate it on a lovely smooth garage floor. Unfortunately, my garage floor is either carpeted or rough concrete basis. My driveway is rough concrete too, so not easy to move around as suggested.

Your bike is so light compared to ours you could surely just lift it to where you want it, couldn't you?  :whistling:

thanks for all the input :smiley:
but what I've seen are either to expensive for what they do! or to bulky for the limited space when I have the car is in the garage, so need something a lot smaller, was also thinking a sheet of Perspex acrylic which should slide easier enough on smooth congrete :smiley:

My garage floor looks similar to the moons surface so that wouldn't work for me! :mfr_lol:

I had one, Xmas present. Used it twice and then gave it away. It works but is useless.
Any situation where you could use it, you have enough space to not need it.
