This motorcycle stand worked great when I used it to transport my Honda VTZ1300 from Ohio to North Carolina. This motorcycle stand was easy to assemble. The bike didn't seem to move or tip over the entire ride. Putting the bike on and off the stand was simple and easy, a little more determination to take the bike off but that's the way it should be. Putting the bike on the stand was a bit of a problem, just my heavy buoy pushed the stand forward so I just needed a spacer between the stand and the trailer wall which wasn't a big deal. I also recommend using brackets to stabilize the bike, I don't need them but as this was my first step I didn't want to take any unnecessary risks. I will be using this stand for vertical motorcycle maintenance. I recommend this motorcycle stand.
