Lifting bike

[badluck73]

i have a motorcycle lift from craftsman, besides buying an adapter is there a easy way to lift bike safely?

Cut some wood blocks to fit from a 2x4. It works fine enough for me.

Send the bucks and buy the adapter from Carbon One, you won't be dissapointed!

If I remember correctly there was a post at one time on how to build a wooden adapter on this forum. I built one the first time I owned my 2000 RSV and it worked quite well. However - after buying a Carbon One from a person on this forum - I agree - it is well worth the money. It provides tremendous stability as you lift your bike.

Some folks do this and it does work, but spend the money for the Carbon One lift. I have had 3 of them and love them. 2 of them I gave away to friends with RSV's and they love them too

I did break down and bought the carbon one lift.....looking forward to seeing how it works

Is the bomb...well worth the money and nothing to slip etc.

I made a square out of 2x2's to set on the jack while lifting it and I also strapped the bike down once I got to the desired height. I was able to move my bike around the garage while set up this way. The squre needs to be 17 inches by 13 inches and I used screws and wood glue for strength

hope this helped

I am a retired heavy construction superintendent and now I have a remodeling business and do lots of carpentry. I (personally) would not trust 2x4's to lift my bike. There are varying grades of lumber and failure could occur. I did use hockey pucks but now I have the Carbon One and it will do the job efficiently with my Sears jack.

Initially I bought some steel " U " channel and fabricated a frame but even it wasn't as stable as the CarbonOne lift adapter. hmmmmm... maybe my fabrication expertise isn't so great...???

 

in any event, CarbonOne's adapter has, for me, been well worth the money.

 

2 x 4's ??.... personally I just wouldn't feel comfortable with that.

Doesn't someone here at VentureRider make and sell an adapter that is custom to the RSV?

My mistake. I thought Carbon One was a retail brand name. Thanks for posting the link.

I've been using the hockey puck method.
