Title: Motorcycle lift jacks Post by: monstermick58 on September 05, 2008, 12:57:24 AM Does anyone own/use/seen/ touched/bought a motorcycle lift/jack that will hold the monster in place so that you can remove both front and rear wheels at the same time ? Oh! It has to be reasonably priced too.
None I have seen in 'just bikes' support the engine, they all use the lower frame rails as an attachment point. Any ideas peoples??

I have two bike stands - front and rear - I can take both wheels off no probs. Bought the stands from Ron at Flywheels. I have used them a number of times to take the wheels off and get new tyres fitted.

Likely to work with all 1000DS engines with the same mount point on block (well at least I think so since my 1100DS HM has the mount), but at $135 +p/h I think it's VERRY cheap for what it does. Aussie company too, NSW-based.

Check em out http://www.andersonstands.com/catalog.htm (http://www.andersonstands.com/catalog.htm) I got this one which lets me wheel it round any which way: (http://www.andersonstands.com/images/6s_150.jpg) Title: Re: Motorcycle lift jacks Post by: monstermick58 on September 06, 2008, 10:29:49 PM Yeah the big blue looks like the one, bit pricey though, but I need to get both wheels off the ground so I can drop the frorks out and the rear wheel at the same time, thanks MonsterDorf.
