Thought I might pop this in here as I like the idea of not having to stuff around with bits or timber or other make-do things and prefer an all-in-one.
I tend to look for either centre stands or specific jacks to do any rear/level required servicing...

I have no affiliation with this mob, only happened by them in my searchings..

I also have Becker Thunderbird Lifter. It makes my life way easier, doing maintenance etc. on my TBird. I do find it a challenge to get the bike up on the stand though. It takes concentration and a strong, steady push with my right foot on the lifting handle, right hand steadying the bike on the upper edge of the rear mudguard.

Don't get me wrong, I have no regrets getting this device. It's great. But it's not for the faint hearted. I suspect it would be easier without the nylon wheels fitted because it wouldn't be necessary to lift it so high. When up on the stand, the rear wheel is quite a lot higher than on bikes with a regular center stand.

To be fair, I really like the wheels and ordered the extra set so I can (very carefully) push the bike forward and backwards when on the stand.
