The hardware is metric.

Yes, Tamworth is the only place in the U.K. where something is made now.

How does it connect / link to the bike frame? 

I bought one of the lifts which go under the sump a couple of months ago. I had intentions off cutting it in half and extending it so I could wheel the bike on and lift it compete ... haven't got around to the surgery yet so just put a plank on it and lifted the bike on that.

It has rails that sit under the frame and a couple of stabilising hooks, the Harley has a double cradle frame, you can get different mounts for different types of bike.

It does look massive on top of that tiny stand. 

I was shitting bricks when I first lifted it, I only managed to fit one frame hook as well but after giving it a few shakes I was very happy to work on it like that, I pulled the exhausts, footrest brackets and the belt guard, it was so easy working at height instead of crawling around unable to see the bolts. I now have it set up in the shed ready to drop the back wheel and pull the swing arm, I will have to clear a lot of stuff out of the shed while working on the bike but at least I can work on it in there. I’m very happy with my purchase. I may get some small ratchet straps though to use instead of the j clamps.

Does it take a lot of effort to get it that high ?

If you see the second picture you can see my cordless drill with a 22mm socket on it to wind the screw drive.

I had a good look around underneath and it is all looking good under there, I saw shit I had never seen before, it was like a magical world of adventure.

Smart buy there Buck 👍....I definitely developed an appreciation for bike lifts at the bike shop I used to work for....major Back-Savers they are.
