Can we get a pic with out the bike? Does it have two legs? Looks like a nice way to save space in a small garage.
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I hang this lift up on garage wall with 2 bicycle hooks.
I split hose down middle and glued to protect frame.
Also used hose for handle.

That's a great take on the ole 10 dollar, boards and pipe jack. Sure looks alot better. Nice work.

Is there any problem with the stand clearing the pipes on either side? I wanted to lift my bike on a jackstand but thought it might damage the exhust pipes.

A much nicer version than the one with the 2x6's bolted together.

Fuzzy,
On my speedmaster the frame is lower than exhaust
You should never use your exhaust as a jacking point or put jackstands under exhaust.

A lot prettier than my board and pipe stand but functions just the same. It's my favourite way to get my bike off it's wheels.

So... it's gotta be asked and going to be asked, so I'll just get it out of the way now... how much do you want to build those?

It would cost a lot extra to ship 'cause of the size, of course if it was modular?

This sort of lift is available retail but if you can weld one up yourself you're money way ahead.

Or do the 2x6 lift... virtually free (for most), works great and... WORKS GREAT!!!

My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker...
Well, she's not actually my girlfriend yet.
