Not interested, but just checking to help from a safety perspective. Also I wasn't trying to be a prick or anything by pointing this out, so hopefully no one gets their feathers ruffled, but I just want to make sure we can all be safe and continue playing with our toys for a long time. The access panel is actually used to access the hydraulic cylinder for repair and maintenance. I guess you could use it for accessing the rear tire but the lift doesn't have any separate way to lift just the rear of the bike, so unless you have a center stand or separate jack that is the only way it could be used for that, but if you have both of those then you already kind of have a way to access the rear wheel and tire without opening the panel.
Also, when you use this stand if you have a bike on a front wheel and center stand or center jack, it shifts the weight forward a lot, so when you are rolling the bike on the stand if you do not have the thing balanced well and have the stationary adjusters down solid it can tip the back of the stand up (depending on the weight of the bike). Once you lift the bike up it will become more stable because the work platform slides backwards as it goes up but just a warning for anyone who has an already heavy bike and then thinks of putting it on a stand and having the rear wheel up. OK safety nerd dismissed.
South Tex, Have at it!!! It's a good unit at what looks to be a great price, just always leave the safety bar in it.
I have mine coupled with a Condor front wheel chock and it allows me to ride or roll most bikes up and walk away without having to put the kickstand down or use straps.
Also ignoring my own safety info (or rather, using it to my advantage), when the back is light, it makes it very easy to spin the lift if you have a bike on it and want to move it into a better working position. I set mine up in the shop so that I can load a bike, lift the rear of the stand and spin it 90 degrees, and then put the safety feet down, and then the rest of the herd can be parked in the garage perpendicular to whatever I have on the lift and I can work around it or on any of the other bikes without having to move stuff around too much.
Life gets complicated when you have 5 bikes in a 2 car garage and have to work on other stuff too, lol
