Does it fit between the exhaust heat shields?(guess it does if you are using it,LOL).
My jack is similar but the lift arms are to long & won't work.

Thank you for your reply.I will go look at your jack at HF.

Wow, well that clarifies some things, I do wish to hoist my bike much higher than that though...thank you so much.... jp
 
Kern Stabi, the manufacturer of the X518, also have a lift that goes under the X518. If you search the X518 you will find some videos showing both in action.

If you watch closely there is another man helping the one who is installing the Device under the bike ???? Good I guess if you do not fancy finding help or using this in a shop. The Bike is not lifted much maybe enough to adjust the valves ?

I've had good luck using the Pitbull motorcycle lift. Purchased when I had my Can Am Spyder. From what I have read it can lift a bike much higher than most of other floor lifts. Had for several years with no issues.

I have both the X518 adapter and the table lift. It is a one person job to install and lift the bike once you have got the hang of it. The table lift gets the bike maybe 3ft max. off the ground, which is enough for what I need (basic mods, maintenance and cleaning).

In the back, I use the muffler mounts on the frame.

I used it to lift the front to pull the forks and change the fork oil

Would you be able to send some pics idnetiying the four mounting points?

Would you be able to send some pics identifying the 4 mounting points I could use for this lift? I am interested in getting one. Much appreciated!
