Motorcycle Carriers

Yahoo Message Number: 15754
Does anyone have any experience with Motorcycle carriers from Cruiserlift o Hydralift? I've narrowed the field down to those two. Hydralift is about $ 500 more than the Cruiserlift.  The Cruiserlift uses cable and winch while the Hyralift uses hydraulics. Any comments would be welcomed.

Jose, why don't you email John Goss direct at sawbuck203@... as he knows quite a bit about motorcycles, lifts and the motorhome. Have a Happy Easter,

We just had a Cruiserlift installed on our Affinity.
Seems to work well, although the bike bounces a lot over bumps. Un-nerving at first, but it didn't fall off! Smitty's down the road from Cruiserlifts did the installation. Only thing is the receiver was about 4 inches lower than the original receiver, so I had them modify the car towbar to raise it 4 inches. Haven't had it on a long trip yet. Planning for a trip to Arizona next month, and will take the bike with us--no car. Cost was about $3,500 installed, with the towbar mod another $100.

Hi Jose,

I'm a motorcycle rider and have done some research into motorcycle lifts. Here is what I can found out:

Overbilt Lifts Inc
They are out of Lake Katrine New York and there phone is 845-382-1369. This was the system I liked best for the money. The cost for the receiver and lift is $1695 and electric winch upgrade is $260 and a tow bar receiver (for towing a car) is another $200. There are a few more options but you can check with then and they will send you a brochure with the latest pricing. They will ship you the lift and you will have to find somebody to install it (they will recommend folks in your area). As I said, I thought it was the best system for the money.
I checked the ones you mentioned, plus a few more that I can't remember the names of, but I didn't think they were any better and they just cost more. I receive pricing all the way up to $5000 plus installation cost. There is one guy here on the west coast who has the same system as the Overbilt one, who charges slightly less; but, Overbilt told me he is an ex-employee who "ripped off" their design and opened his own business.

Good luck,
Rick Barnette,
