The Strong Arm is the ideal tool to quickly raise one wheel off the ground.  You select which wheel by the fore and aft placement of the Strong Arm.  The padded lifting beam supports the motorcycle under the frame or other flat load bearing part.  It is a beefy unit with a long lifting arm that makes it surprisingly easy to lift even the heaviest motorcycles.  Think of it as a center stand that requires less effort, and holds the motorcycle even more solidly than a normal center stand due to its wide footprint.  Everyone with a bike lacking a center stand should use a Strong Arm in cleaning wheels, adjusting chains or belts, and holding the bike upright in the garage. 

Using the stand is simply a matter of standing on the right side of the bike with the bike on its side stand and the Strong Arm in contact with the left side frame.  As you push down on the lever arm, the motorcycle will come upright with the stand in contact with both frame members.  When the lever arm is pushed down to the ground the bike will be securely upright with one wheel in the air. 

All right, how safe and stable is it? Like it's bolted to the floor! It will defy attempts at knocking the bike over and yet the bike lowers back onto its side stand with equally little effort.  Just lift the arm up slowly towards vertical and the bike eases over safely onto its side stand.

This is a serious piece of equipment, with its large diameter construction and heavily padded support that contacts your bikes.  Moreover it is adjustable for height so that the Strong Arm can handle choppers to baggers, with equal competence.
