Nute Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also looking for something, working on that rocker rear end..has pulled a few muscles in my legs that I didn't I know existed...still sore and stiff at the moment....looking at the pic..kinda looks sketchy has hell...think I'm gonna go with a lift table if I start getting more work...keeping and eye out for a used one at the moment...

It's great, to take the wheel off I unbolted the wheel dropped the bike to the ground to pull the axle then lifted the bike off the wheel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
