Pit Viper or Harbor Freight MC Dolly

**billyboy** · 05-08-2010, 09:10 PM

Anyone have one of these? Will the Nomad fit on it? I assume the Pit Viper and the Harbor Freight are the same dolly painted different colors, but I'm not certain.

With a wheelbase of almost 67" and a usable track length of 76", that leaves only 4.5" from where the tire touches to floor to the stop pin. That is extremely close, especially with the pin being above the track floor and inch or 2.

They look the same; if you buy the Harbor freight one in their store here is a 20% off coupon you can use. good for in store purchases only.

Thanks for posting this. I have been playing around with the idea of building a turn table to spin the bike around in my garage. This has given me some more ideas.

CNC, let us know what you come up with on the spin around.

I will Gene. There is one out of wood on Gadgets page, but I like the idea behind these ones as not only can you spin the bike around, you can push the bike around or to one side of the garage.

I'd buy it at the store bring it home and try it. If it didn't work, return it say it was too short for your motorcycle. No harm done.

I did receive a response on the Delphi Vulcan forum on the Harbor Freight model. Looks like it's too short for the Nomad and he also wasn't impressed with the casters. He uses it for a bike with a 64" wheelbase and has to remove one of the stop pins to get that bike on it. The Nomad wheelbase is over 66".

The Lazy Susan idea won't really work for me. I need something that will allow me to push the bike sideways into its parking spot.
