Author Message   Sped214 Posted on Sunday, July 17, 2005 - 10:58 pm:        I'm poor. That being said, I am planning on doing a majority of my own wrenching. I'm slowly accumulating tools (not many, yet) and a little know-how (thanks to this site). I am going to get a service manual, and then a lift. Seeing as I need to check my timing, the lift has been moved to the top of the list. I only need one that will lift one wheel at a time, both wheels don't need to be off the ground. I've seen some hand operated lifts that are fairly inexpensive, but I cannot remember where I saw them. If any of you are using an inexpensive hand lift for your motorcycle can you let me know what brand/model it is, how well it works, and where you got it? That would really help out a poor bueller.   Dbird29 Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 12:27 am:        I have had good service from the Handy Industries lifts. Headstock stand http://www.handyindustries.com/shop/product_view.asp?idProduct=140&D=1&S=4 Rear & Front stands http://www.handyindustries.com/shop/product_view.asp?idProduct=167&D=1&S=4   Cyko_bob Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 09:21 am:        Sped214...I am surprised no one has mentioned them yet, but the Pit Bulls are great stands (www.pit-bull.com). I really don't remember the price, but you can get them from DAVES. Anyway, highly recommended by anyone that owns a set...or one for the rear only.   Rek Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 09:29 am:        ditto W/ Cyko Rob   Spatten1 Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 09:37 am:        Check out this thread: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/122261.html   Spatten1 Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 09:49 am:        Check out this thread: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/122261.html   Cyko_bob Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 09:49 am:        Hey Spatten...love the tailgate seat too!   Fullpower Posted on Monday, July 18, 2005 - 05:12 pm:        six inch block of wood. under muffler. works front or rear. very simple, inexpensive. obtain several, very handy for a multitude of tasks.   Kootenay Posted on Tuesday, July 19, 2005 - 01:21 am:        Cheap and easy: Two import car jacks from the junkyard, flat bar curved to fit the muffler welded to each (with silicon rubber sheet as a cushion).
