royalspade Posted April 13, 2013 #1 Posted April 13, 2013 I need to know how to lift a motorcycle when the motor extends past the frame.
Marcarl Posted April 13, 2013 #2 Posted April 13, 2013 You need to find the balance point of the bike, then put the lift at that spot. If the lift is then lifting on something you don't want it to, then you have to adapt something to make it fit, often times hockey pucks or pieces of wood are use to create lift spots, or you could check out Carbon Ones lift adapter with the stand.
Oklahoma_Valk Posted April 13, 2013 #3 Posted April 13, 2013 After building my own lift adapters (from wood) which are specific to single bikes, I've concluded that purchasing a pre-made lift adapter (from ebay or elsewhere) is money well spent.
MLCRIDER Posted April 13, 2013 #4 Posted April 13, 2013 Carbon one on this site makes an adaptor that fits right on your bike makes lifting your bike a breeze, comes with or without legs, I happen to have one I have sold my 2008 Venture an have one for sale with legs it is very well made, check them out, if you are interested let me know

Money well spent.

Thanks Click on Freebirds link above you can see what they are I think it will fit your RSTD but I would rather have you confirm that, the one I have has the legs can be used with or without the legs

How much are you asking for it? Thanks The adapter will fit your bike but you probably should have a safety bar added to it due to the shorter Torin jack you're using. If the jacks lift arms are at least 13" long then you're good there and won't need the safety bar. Larry
