Excellent product
I have a heavy VFR750 and small garage with uneven concrete floor. I was looking for a dolly that would handle all of that. Reading all the product descriptions and reviews I realised that the cheaper dollys are designed for lighter weight bikes. Reading the reviews of the heavier dollies it is apparent that the dolly brake is an important aspect of the design and several reviews note that some designs have poor brakes. The brake is important to allow you to safely lock the dolly when you roll the bike off the centre stand. I chose this product because it was strong, had a big platform so that it has plenty of room for the centre stand and it also has easily accessible brakes on each wheel.
The product arrived in UK very quickly and the quality is excellent. The casters rotate very easily and the bike is easy to get onto its stand because the dolly platform is large. Once on the stand the bike is easy to roll in any direction. Because the VFR centre stand leaves a lot of weight on the front wheel, you do need to steer the bike while rolling it about but this is easy. Overall I am very impressed.
A couple of warnings that would apply to all dolly designs.
1) If your garage floor is uneven like mine you need to be careful when pushing the bike forward that the dolly doesn't get stuck on a ridge and the bike rolls off of its centre stand. I am going to cut a bit of wood to jam between bike frame and centre stand to prevent the stand retracting while manoeuvring the bike. This of course won't be a problem with a normal flat garage floor.
2) When you roll you bike off the centre stand make sure the dolly brakes are firmly on. I was being lazy and only applied 1 of the 4 dolly brakes, as I rolled the bike off the stand the rear bike wheel rolled onto the dolly, the dolly moved sideways and I lost control of the weight of the bike and it ended up on its side on the garage floor. Miraculously it was a gentle descent and the bike was un damaged. Moral of the story is that the dolly brakes are very important and I need to use all 4 brakes in future.
Overall then, this is a great product, very well designed and manufactured. It means I can roll my bike very neatly into the corner of the garage and leave space for all my other things. Recommended.Read full review
