my bike lift.

[xhdskip]

Guys,
here is the device I've got to lift my bike with.
It's heavy duty solid american steel,
with a cold rolled steel pin.
There's a hole in it and another rod to hold it all together
when you're through lifting your bike.
So you can keep it all together.

If anybody would want a similar setup,
the guy will make them for $25.00.
it allows you to pull all three plugs to change the oil without moving the jack around,
or removing the rear (or front) tire,
Not a bad deal actually.
I can get them made for anybody that needs one for the mentioned $25.00 plus shipping.
Not trying to make anything off these, just saw a need,
and have a way around these issues.

Skip why do you need a Jack to change your oil I change mine with the bike on the kick stand, I am lying flat on my belly but it is not much of a problem.

Skip, I use same set up with my lift & I still have to lift the bike to the vertical position to get the left side up enough to clear & then I still need to give it a kick into place, Yours seem to be a lot higher than mine so I'm wondering if you have the same problems, the forward leg of the lift will not travel freely under the sump until the bike is upright. I don't know if I've explained this very well but all in all I haven't got enough clearance under the bike. The legs of the lift measure 51/4" from ground level & will not quite fit under the sump at the front end which is 41/2" clear of the ground on side stand,I would be interested in ground clearance measurements as comparison.

CaptainJack,
I put the pins in place then slide the jack under the pins.
You're right, What I do is start the jack under from the right side.
Grab the handlebars and raise the bike up to a standing position,
then push the jack the rest of the way under.
Not alot of slack under there, but the good thing is,
just one or two pumps with your foot and she's stable.
Another couple of pumps and shes up pretty far.
its 3/8" steel and total from bottom to top is 2".

Thanks Skip, Sounds like the same answer to the same problem - no great trouble though is it. My plates differ to yours, as I had them made with the pin the opposite way so that it runs back over the flange of the plate, this way the weight of the bike is acting down within the base of the plate & not creating a turning effect. It means of course that it has a greater separation of the plates to fit on the legs of the lift, but mine at least just about fits ok, it is only about 1" greater than distance across the frame. I am waiting to see "sidecarflips" lifting bracket when he's finished it, if the design & quality are as good as his other stuff it will be a good job.
PS used the lift a few days ago then went for a ride & when I got home I found the plates still in the frame,- lucky

Yea I need to order that myself.
I ain't had time to do squat here lately though.
I've got trash in the back of my truck thats been riding back there for a couple of weeks,
Either I don't remember it when I get off, or its covered in snow and ice.
They been running me ragged at work.
I'm to old for that crap.
Ain't even checked my own website out till just now for probably two weeks.
Hopefully that OT is over for awhile.
I'm happy just getting my 40 every week.
Back to the TFI for a second.
Think I'm ordering mine Monday.
Gotta wait till the office personnel is there for my 50% veteran discount.
