I'm considering lifting an 05 Speedmaster up in the air with a webbed strap wrapped around the front wheel. Think the wheel and fork can take it? I do, but wouldn't mind hearing more opinions. The strap is plenty strong enough, and I do this kind of thing all the time at work, lifting truck engines, trannies, and like dat dere.

Or maybe I'd be better off with a pick point on the frame.

The thought is to lower the bike into my cellar hatchway with my backhoe, so's I can have a warm spot to do some work. A ramp long enough to keep the bike from bottoming out would be a bother.
