anyone has an idea where to buy hydralic Motorcycle lifts (with platform) so you can just wheel your bike onto it and lift it - probably about 25-30 inches or so. Thanks for any links - just seem to find the ol' slide under the bike stuff for HD
This is one of the most used in shops: http://www.handyindustries.com/ If you're just looking for something in your house I made this out of 2 sheets of 3/4 plywood. It "folds" flat and has held a BMW R1100RT with me on it! (No jokes USCRacerX!). I use a motorcycle truck ramp to get the bikes up on the stand.
Just the one... it'll be two as soon as you bring yours back down! Hey by the way: I forgot about those boots you gave me! We're even! Why didn't you remind me?!?!?!?
I would NOT recommend Lift-Buddy. I own one and am on my 2nd hydraulic cylinder and it still leaks. The first cylinder leaked from the day I bought the lift. It was such a pain to change (looks easy, but when the pin is in a bind, it makes it tough) that I just live with it. The worst part about them was I waited over 5 months and through 4 broken delivery date promises for the "real" front tire vise. The vise that comes with it is only good for an anchor for a small boat (ie a piece of $hit). When they were finally due to get them in, they wanted to charge me $20 to ship it to me. I had picked up my lift at their dealer in Marietta, GA so I felt that if the vise had been available when I purchased my lift I would have had no shipping for it. I offered to split the cost of shipping for the vise. After a week of no response I sent them another email. Another day goes by with no response. I was pretty pissed and sent them a rather "terse" email. They responded with a wish to not do business with me and blocked my email address. So I said screw them and ordered a vise from Handy Lift. The vise shipped the same day I ordered it. I had to drill new holes to mount it, but it's on there. Save yourself some heart break and get the lift from Handy. I saw something in the back of RRW that Kowa Tools is making one now. Might be worth a shot. Scott Padgitt
Whattaya mean we're even? You mean I can't do anything nice for you and Rikki, like buddy passes? Hey I'd like some plans for that platform myself. With my little bike and self, I probably can use 1/4" plywood!
Hell yeah you can! But don't feel you have to. I found those boots last night. I'd forgotten about them... Thanks dude. Go get 2 good sheets and I'll show you how to build it.
Hey, I figured I'd just keep the freebies rolling your way for a couple years. You coulda bought another SV with all the spare parts I left behind. Wait a minute, you DID! Tell Matt Lynn to try on my leathers next time you see him. I need to sell those babies, and my trailer too! Baby needs a new pair of shoes- Stride Rite, sz. 4.
