Need to obtain either a floor jack or ATV jack to elevate the Uly for Tire, Belt and other misc work. Previously used a Craftsman ATV Jack ,however, the psyhco ex-wife stole it with everything else (however)........ Thoughts and input are appreciated. Cheers | ||

I've been using a block of wood for years. I just tip it over on the kickstand a bit and scoot the wood under with my foot. | ||

depends on the exhaust you may need to do some wood work so when jacking up the bike you don't spoil it. | ||

If you don't want to go full-on lift table, get pit bull stands. Front and rear will lift the bike completely and easily, and leave axles/forks free for servicing. | ||

Buy another Craftsman, or you can get a Harbor Freight or other discount store version. The key is the 2 lift arms are about exactly the same spacing as the re-inforcement points of the stock muffler (the stamped triangle symbols on the muffler in 2 places). You then build a muffler cradle with about $2 worth of 2x4 (or scrap pieces), make it into a box frame for safety, and you have a fantastic bike lift that allows both wheels to be removed very safely. Much safer than the block of wood under the side stand (which I did a few times before building the cradle). there is even a pattern on this forum for the cradle, which made it crazy easy to build with just a jigsaw and a few wood screws. I painted mine Buell blue and added rubber weatherstripping to the cradle to protect the muffler paint. |
