How is this normally oriented when lifting a bike? Is the 7/8" (or 22mm) crank mechanism to the front, or to the side?

I orient mine on the right side of the bike. That gives me plenty of room yo both raise the bike and slowly return it to the kick stand. Also I use a22mm socket on a 1/2" ratchet. It is a good system providing you are cautious about gently pushing the bike to the left as you lower the lift. Slow and easy is the key.

I used it to the side with the front wheel in a docking station for stability

I have mine set to the side. I don't think there would be much in the way of stability with it to the front. Facing the front of the bike the frame rails would probably be to close to the outside edge to keep the bike from falling off. I have mine centered under the bike so it picks both wheels up off the ground at the same time. It is pretty stable that way

Definitely to the side. You would have to have a small bike for it to be in the front or back.

I put it to either side so both sides of the frame are supported on the lift.

It is the back wheels that would give you trouble..too tall when bike on its side. Don't remove the front wheel because of the gear assembly.

The one I got was way to long, seemed it was intended for the rear, also the handles were on the right. I have a trek 4300 22 " frame , hope this helps

On my bike it made a difference. The stem was long with no upward angle. This stem is shorter with an upward angle. It seems like over all my forward lean was reduced by 5 or 6 degrees which in my case relieved the pain between my shoulders and neck. I've been very happy with this mod to my bike. If it will work the as well for you I don't know.

The bike may tilt one or two inches to the left or right, but it is very minimal. The bike stays upright and it is secure.

No idea. Finally gave up on it, tossed it, and ordered a different bike. Once the B R F Bike broke--there was no fixing it. The handlebar contraptions kept coming off no matter how we tried to toghten them. Sorry to disappoint.

I had a buddy help me lift it off. I grabbed the front and he lifted the handlebars. If I'm not mistaken, the way it sits on the pallet, you could drive it off.

Depends how you mount it on your particular motorcycle, I think towards the rear. It's up to your preference to be honest.

It depends on the size of the bicycle. My bike has a large frame and thus more distance from the center of the crank to the bench. On smaller frames this may be a problem. I am thinking about mounting a 2 x 4 to the bench to move the mounting point of the Bike hand out from the bench. It is a very nice high quality mount and i really like mine.

couple years since I bought mine. It angles up from the post as I have a short frame bike. I love it!! very handy and the easy to remove feature is great if storing the bike or in sketchy neighborhoods.

The lift has two flat bars that are 3.5" wide and there is an 8.5" space between the lift bars. If your crank case fits between them buy this lift, it's great.

If your bike has a single piece crank its 1/2". If its a 3 piece crank then its 9/16"

A Retrospec Crankset has a crank arm length of 165mm. No need to worry about pedal strikes!

Slight slant. It's reversable so you can have it slant forward or backward two of the bolts are hard to get in though. Start with those

This is the primary mechanism for holding your bike to this rack. The bike rests on its crank housing. The bolt drops down behind the crank housing between the rear fork, and the T "handle" braces the bike onto the stand when you tighten the bolt into place with the plastic handled nut & washer. Incidentally, I do not recommend this stand for mountain bikes. The thicker frame is too large for the upper support to tighten around. For any kind of bike, if you're going to use a working stand often, invest in something better than this.

If you clamp to the seat post or top bar the cranks spin fine. Depending how its mounted you may not be able to move the handle bars but there should be enough space unless the bars extra wide. I have this and have used the park tool wall mount and there isn't much difference.

Regular thread, I believe one side goes on in the opposite direction. It's been awhile since I put the bike together but as I recall the pedals threads are regular except for the direction in which they screw on.
