    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Skid what do you use to actuate the lift? i can see where it's articulated on the bottom pivot points, do you use a winch? I couldn't tell from the pics.
 
Someone like you that has plenty of money should just go PURCHASE a proper lift.:p This thread is for the pofolk...like me, that likes do do things on the cheap!:D

Any moron can buy something that would work.
Much more interesting to make exactly what you want.
What I want would go flat against a wall when it's not in use, and be about three feet by eight. Haven't seen these for sale.
I don't have plenty of money, I just ****ed it all away on another bike!

P.S., I don't think there is any such thing as "plenty of money"

try this table:

it disassembles easy to fold against your wall-plywood construction.

I'd try a more durable table that doubles as a work table, I put mine to good use:

I bought this handy little stool at Sam's for $20.00. All of my tool boxes and work stations are on wheels which allows me to work low without destroying my knees, it also has a convienent tool tray with a magnetic pad for parts. This way I can scoot from tool box to bike to tool box..biggest problem is trying to keep my three year old away from it!! :)
The other nice thing is you can wheel everything between the bikes when your done.....done?? hah what's that?

I like that first one quite a bit. It's simple and easy.

I need something like this, seeing as I'm always tooling on my Ninja. I'm sure my GS will keep me busy with the wrench for a while, too.

I have some decent stands, but I could use something like this to actually get the bike to a level that is more comfortable to actually work on.
 
**** I can't do any of this stuff...my garage is 15X18 and is currently occupied by an FZR600, a XS750 Seca, a CR250 dirtbike, a YFZ350 Bandshee, a DT175, and my GS750...and only one of those things is mind :s
