Building A Space Saving Lift For Motorcycles

Working on a motorcycle can be difficult when it is sitting on the ground. To solve this problem, instead of buying a hydraulic lift, we built this stand and used a chain hoist to lift the bike into place. List of Materials 2 – 24 inch slings (28 inches to end of D Rings 1 – 3/4 inch clevis 1 – 1/2 inch clevis 4 – 3/8 inch clevis 1 – 3/8 x 3 x 28 inch flat iron 1 Hoist 1 Table 24 x 24 x 24 inch made of 1/4 inch plate with 3 inch pipe legs that is bolted to the floor.

How I See Myself When I Ride Sometimes

 

I have been starting to collect motorcycle art. One of the reasons I think I love to ride is that I can lose myself and be whatever I want to be in the moment.

Until Spring Riding!!

In the meantime I got out to the shop and started repairing my Yamaha and doing some maintenance.

Valves are now set, plugs cleaned and gapped.  Next I will try installing my new brake cables that were ruined in the crash. This is going to make spring come sooner, I am certain of it. :)
