Bought one, it's a gorgeous, stout, thing. Was going to use it to install new exhaust system.

It will not fit with the stock exhaust installed on a 2012 Racer. Hits the cat conv.

Very minor detail as that is going away anyway. Just a PSA.

(Realized I didn't search. Please forgive me if this is already posted.)
 
There was also a note about issues with 2017 V7 III - it hits the evap canister under the trans.
( I asked )
And it would be 400$ Cdn delivered
That’s why I built my own:
( new picture)

It takes two people to put it in place.
And I would feel less worried about getting crushed with some additional lateral support !
But for 35$ worth of steel.. and my time, I had fun, spent some time with a buddy, worked on/practiced my welding.!
( at a safe distance, )
PS: anyone notice those Italian Hex bolts ;)

At one time they offered an adapter kit, I don't know if they still have them but you could try contacting them directly. If memory serves they actually sent mine out free of charge. It works very well and is a one person operation.
 
So my contraption “works” but take two people to put the bike on it.
Me holding it up underneath while an assistant levels the bike as I pull the lift under the cradle.
And after that, the scissor lift is 1/2” off, level leaving the bike a wee bit off center!
Not something I’d trust my life to !

The answer the Motorcycle Bondage station ;)

2” D rings - 4” lag bolts into the wall, and the “1000 Lbs” wheel chock “
Then I can lift the rear wheel off the ground with the cradle and a regular floor jack...

100$ Canadian + my time

As far off the ground as it needs to be.

It's scary getting the thing up on the stand the first time. But I expect it will get easier with practice.

Pit Bull's video on YouTube sure makes it look easy!
 
This is easy you just drive it straight into the WALL / wheel chock !

You can practice with pedestrians,other bikes, Cars, small buildings... I tend to fly over the cars so far... but it beats being Under them :(

Click to expand...

Do like the HA used to do, lay the bike on it's side to work on it!

If it's good enough for Sonny Barger.....:rock:
 
But when I laid it down to do the Right side, all the oil leaked out of the left side ;)
When I laid it on the right side it didn’t make such a mess as most of the oil was gone :p

I hope the gas that leaked out of the tank won’t catch fire when I’m cutting the grass on the ride’m lawn mower , smokin a Cigar while having a beer...


Just kidding...
