I finally got around to trying it out. No problems at all lifting my Ss by the Drummer SS.  | ||

What jack is that? I could really use one of them. How does it keep the bike steady and safe? (Message edited by xb9dan on January 10, 2006) | ||

That's what I use. Bought mine at Harbor Frieght. Only problem is when you remove a tire, it tips over to the heavy side. I use a bucket under the non-removed side to prevent it. | ||

XB9dan I got the jack at Pep Boys for around 60 bucks. Made in China of course but it gets the job done. I made some chocks that fit the contour of the Drummer SS to support it from underneath. I also strap from the footpegs to the jack to stop any possibility of tipping to the side. You probably don't need the straps but better safe than sorry. | ||

Hey jerseyguy , Do you plan to leave off all your belt protection? | ||

I'm surprised that muffler can support the weight of that bike. Cool. | ||

Everyone Please Note: I have a nearly identical but slightly more stable lift from Craftsman that dented my Buell race can  . I built a custom 23.5" X 6" X 1/8" steel plate bolted across the lift to even out the pressure. I painted then covered it with the stuff you put in drawers as a liner to keep it from scratching. I can pull either or both wheels off no problem. | ||

Ray, I've lifted several 9s & 12s with Drummers, Buell race pipes and stock pipes with no problem at all. My chocks are made of 2" wide PVC. Twintour, I know I should leave the belt guard on, but it just looks so much better to me that I guess I'll leave it off. If the belt breaks I guess its my bad and I'll buy a new one. I blew the belt off of my XB9s doing a wheelie and it wasn't hard to replace. In fact the worst part was removing the belt guard & putting it back. | ||

Hey Jerseyguy, here's a thought. I think Keven should hire you to make a bunch of those chocks for him so he can sell them. Just think of it. The Drummer pipe & the ultra cool accessory Drummer chocks (jack not included of course). | ||

Metalstorm, Trust me, if Steve makes them, you won't be able to afford them.....better wait till I get my own milling machine and let me make them... Kevin www.kdfab.com | ||

Kevin, I'll trust your word on that  I'll wait. I can be very patient when I know there's something good coming  | ||
| Jerseyguy |
Metal - I CNC'd them because I can but you could make them out of some wood 4x4s saber sawed to the approximate shape. | ||

I removed the belt protection on my Buell before the belt snapped (12,000 miles) I pulled up the front end and boom nothing. Funny thing is I hardly noticed it until I hit te throttle lol. It seemed un nesecary to have a belt guard after that so off it stays. | ||
| Twintour |
Thanks guys about the belt guard info , I think they are ugly to. mine are coming off my new ss. | ||

Jerseyguy, I do have something that I made out of 2x4s. It's not totaly contoured to the pipe but it works. It's just that compared to yours, mine are FUGLY!  But it does work so I ain't complaining On edit: I wish I had a sabre saw. I did it the hard way with a hand saw & a big wood rasp (Message edited by Metalstorm on January 16, 2006) |
