What's on Gas Man's Lift [kills even your high speed internet]
 
Let's set up the history then we'll get on topic

Then the big step to what I have now called the single best tool I have ever purchased!!

For about $1100 it gets dropped off like this

Un pack it and start to set it up
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ft/Lift005.jpg

Its up like this

I wanted more space...so I supersized it with side extensions

Now that was good. But I had plans to make it better. I didn't like the way you had to get off the bike, hold it with one hand while you spin on the front wheel vice... scary biz and not worth the risk.

Got a Condor Wheel Chaulk with chopper bar, and 2 different front tire setups

You see where I'm going?

The old vise setup
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../Condor013.jpg

Remove it
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../Condor014.jpg
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../Condor015.jpg

Pull the front supporting rod
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../Condor016.jpg

Grab the chopper extension that is needed for this setup.
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../Condor018.jpg

Mount that on the lift
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../Condor020.jpg

Mount the trailer adapter so I can use the condor both on and off the lift
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../Condor022.jpg

Install the adapters to the condor for the trailer hookup
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../Condor024.jpg

Slide in and bolt with thumb screw

The chop (pre-Phoenix project)
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...ereturn018.jpg

Also mounted a nice vice on the lift... very usefull.

Puts me at about $1600 into the lift. But damn it works so well!!!!



here we go again... this time my neighbor, aka Sgt, with his and mine limited amount of compatitable free time... my neighbors 04 Honda Shadow Sabre 1100 spent about 5 days on the lift....

I don't mind and I don't charge. I figure if the owner works on it with me its no charge. You want to drop off and pick up when done... I need at least food and drink.

Anyway... here we go...

Looking good... starts and runs, but carbs need to be sync'ed
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...n/Sean043a.jpg

Then I asked him how many miles it had. Bad idea! 10K he says. Have you changed the fork or diff oil (shaft drive)?? Worse idea! he says NO.

Changed the diff oil... super easy.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...n/Forks003.jpg

Two words; Baller. Status.

Questions;
How easy is it to clean off the top part when you spill oil, lube, brake fluid etc? Can you just tip it like a tow truck bed and hose it off?
I see it has wheels on one end of it's base and a handle on the other, how much does it weigh? Easy to move around?
I see electrical cords in a couple pics, it has a power lift mechanism? If so, can it be lifted manually if the powers out for some reason?

1. Its a glossier style black diamond plate. Really smooth so it wipes up really easy. I usually clean it off with windex and a rag.

2. It weights like 700# or about 1 harley! :D On the painted floor with no bike on it... it slides around pretty well. Plus as you can see the in the first slightly assembled pic of it... it came with a hand truck that helps roll it around on those wheels. Their real is to roll when the lift goes up and down.

3. The electric cords are just for the battery tender or my little heater (its cold here in the winter). The lift is 100% air powered.

Sweet rig, wish you were my neighbor.

Gas Man 03-27-2008 06:53 PM

Forgot this... and added above... even non-two wheeled things make it to the lift
