I levitaded my R18 with my handyness today.
Next week I am hoping to become a "forking expert".... replacing the fork springs, oil and installing some YSS fork valves that I just recieved.... so I needed a way to raise the bike, steady it and lift and lower the front..... so.... just finished a rough'n ready lifter using mostly metal I had laying around. "The thing" lifts the rear wheel clear and stabilses the bike...... then use a trolley jack to lift front as required.
Always exciting when you first try and use a "great idea".... observing what you got wrong. JEEZ... it's a heavy bike.
I lay claim to no original ideas.... just cheapness.... with a dose of aussie "she'll be right".... What could possibly go wrong?
I've given it the name of "Boomerang R18 lift".... mostly because the R18 goes into the air.... and you can never be sure when it will return to earth..... possibly causing bodily harm.
