lift

I've got a craftsman jack I think will work if I put about 4" of support in the circled area. I don't think lifting from the back of the motor will get the front end up so I also need to know if I can also lift from a bit further forward, directly underneath the oil pan.

hello guys, just yesterday I was installing the new mv agusta tail on my vmax , I had some issues with the turning lights ( ended up in purchasing a new smaller set to fit the small holes ) but now I'm in trouble with a big issue : the lifting handle.... I'm a small old guy and for sure I do...

Found this while shopping around and it looks like a pretty good deal, as I need to take my wheels off and get new shoes on my Vmax 1700. In the mean time, is it possible to gently raise my bike for an oil change with a floor jack and a piece of rubber under that cat, or will that destroy...

With the additionj of another Vmax (hey I only have 3...lol) I'm looking at getting a motorcycle lift table simular to this one. http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-motorcycle-lift-69904.html Does anyone have any plus' or minus' on various tables? I'm also looking at this one...

I have seen Vmax's using a rear lift with something like spools. Does someone have any info on this, and what needs to be modified ? Looking for something easy since installing the center stand is a pain...

I will be building a 2 x 4 box frame to use while lifting my Vmax by the frame tubes with an ATV lift. Some of you have already done this. Would someone post the dimensions? The center stand is retained with this exhaust and I don't have a cover over the spin on oil filter (1997 model...

when getting my max on my lift table I've been trying to find a way to get it on the centerstand. I found video of a guy doing this with a BMW on youtube but his lift table looks to be wider / longer than the habor freight table I have.standing next to the max on my table would be an accident...

Since I got stuck working through the weekend I didn't get any spanner time on the vmax. After flicking through the fsm and googling parts I came across the 'easy riser' bike lifts, known as the big red and big blue. I swore off table lifts after doing up a bike on my fathers lift - the...

Someone please help. I just got a 1990 vmax a month ago and it had no center stand. All of a sudden yesterday the handling got real bad. Steering vey floaty at slow speed. And I can't check anything cause no stand. Right now this is my only transportation and money is tight. Is there anyway to...

Hey guys, I've looked at a couple threads on the forum regarding this but haven't found a definite answer yet for my case. I'm just trying to get the rear wheel off myself but it's proving harder that I thought. Lots have said the wide pitbulls will work, but even pitbulls website says only...

Below is a thread on the Harbor Freight lift that was on Venture site. The link attached shows the differences between the old & current lifts. Gary It appears that the supplier of the lift has changed. The original lift is part number 68892. The new lift is part number 69904. The new lift...

looks like HF is having a sale on their lifts: http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-motorcycle-lift-68892-8495.html which usually means you can use the 20% off on top of it. $240 isn't bad. i like mine, but yea it is a HF lift at the end of the day.

so the Harbor Freight Motorcycle Lifts $339.99 got me googling the net and i saw this. figured someone here would share my impression of it being pretty neat-o. www.mzselect.com/bike-lift.html. apparently it is capable of man-handling choppers and cruisers. couldn't find any pricing...

I'm looking into getting something like this http://www.amazon.com/Torin-T64017-1500-Motorcycle-Jack/dp/B000CODPFG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1337267428&sr=8-5. There are a couple of questions I have about these types of lifts. 1) can I safely lift my bike with them even though my exhaust is...

So I am having issues with my carbs I think I need to go though and clean them. Also one of my AF screws is in bad shape the guy that owned my max before me must have drilled them out and went to far on one and now I turned it some and it won't turn anymore and bike won't start now. so i need a...

Harbor Freight Tools is running a special on the hydraulic platform bike lift, for $300. Normally it's $500. There was a coupon in the May/June issue of Motorcycle Classics "Ride 'em, don't hide 'em" I missed out on a used one in CL locally, it went in at 4 p.m. & by 6, someone was loading it...

Has anyone tried one of these lift tables? I am considering purchasing one. http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-air-hydraulic-motorcycle-lift-94121.html http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-motorcycle-lift-91764.html...
