Title: Bike Lift
Post by: ute on January 14, 2010, 01:51:16 PM
so is there any point in getting a bike lift  for the Monster ?

got a deal up here for  $99 ... ( discount of $170) but was thinking that there is no where to lift the Monster from with it  from underneath


any ideas  or tips if i do get it ..or just a waste of money



thanks

Are you talking about a dirt bike style lift that goes underneath the engine?  If so, that's not going to work on your monster.

I just sit on the ground next to it.


There's a thread about someone who just built one out of plywood.


Here it is:

I use a front and a rear stand.  My buddy built himself a work space that is elevated out of plywood and 2x4.  I have been thinking about one of those moto lifts from harbor freight for like $100.
