    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.

How do you support your bike for work? Got a lift, homemade or otherwise? Ramps? Worktable?

Post some pics - let's see how creative this collective really is!

Tilts down for loading, but for any bike over 450 lb, you better have a friend help you push it up.

Snap-on lifts about 15 years ago
 
Lift?

Lift?

I use this and the centerstand for anything on he front end :o.

I had to mark it with a Sharpee "M/C Lift - DO NOT REMOVE" so one of my boys wouldn't use it or my wife wouldn't toss it :)

And I use the centerstand alone for anything on the backend. Still hell on the knees though.

chuck there used to be blue prints sold for building wooden bike lifts.
i actually had one and it was awesome.
when you rolled the bike up so far the table would lower in the front and the tail would hinge under the rear and that was that.
had a tube wheel chalk and 2 i bolts on the front for straps.
it came from a bike shops in the 80's...i sold it for 100 bucks i think..
still have one handy lift but it's a GD animal if you want to transport it.
wish i had sold the handy and kept the wooden one for what little i do now a days...oh well..
 
I have the $500 special from Princess Auto... for our Yankee friends, Princess Auto is pretty much the same as your Harbor Freight.

the 1st picture is similar..
the ramp on mine locked against the stand and the floor once the bike was more over center and almost rolled into the wheel chock.
it had perfect balance on the hinged area's and some hard azz wood.
it was old when i sold it and still rock solid.
the blue prints was for sale pre-internet in the back of bike mags..
