Aerostich has a pretty cool ramp and crate system workstand for bikes. The only problem is it's weight limit of 500lbs. The RT weighs a bit too much for it, so I'm bummed. Anyway, it might work for some of you.

Re: Ramp and crate workstand
That's kind of a cool idea. Maybe a guy could 'beef up' the inside of the crates with some 2x4's.
The price of it is what I paid, with tax added, for my Harbor Freight cycle lift. I lucked out with a store discount plus having a 20 off coupon.

I like this better than the full-on lifts, for us nomadic types.

Re: Ramp and crate workstand
Nice idea, but it really doesn't get the work up high enough for my liking. I want to be able to work underneath a machine without actually being under it.
