Does anyone know if an XB can be jacked up with a Latus pipe? It looks to be sturdy enough to do it, but I don't want to find out the hard way that it can't be done. Thanks in advance. Marc | ||

I used a 1" wide piece of wood between the jack and the muffler to spread out the load and only position it on the ends. It's pretty strong there. | ||

MY Favorite lift is Two fan belts and overhead chain hoist...  | ||

Cadzilla, The pic is a touch dark on my monitor. What/where do the belts either connect or pass though the bike frame to hold it up with no dammage/scratching? | ||

its hard to see but it looks like he looped the fan belts around the passenger footpeg brackets on both sides of the bike - nice idea. | ||

Sorry bout the dark pic, I was cave dwelling at the time. Johnb is right I loop the fan belts around each pass footpeg brackets. Keeps bike upright and adjustable infinitely. | ||

Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to use this in the future. | ||

The answer to the original question is yes, the bike can be jacked with the Latus pipe. I got a little antsy and couldn't wait for a reply, so I gave it a try. I changed both tires, and the bike is back together again. It can be jacked up if you catch each end of the pipe as XB9 said. No problems. I like the lift idea,so I think I will try that next time. Thanks everyone. |
