i made my own bike lift,stand for $10 and 1 hour of my time ,,sure its not petty but it works,2x scissor jacks from the wreckers and a mig welder
now being a mechanic, i come across rounded bolts and i discovered these little beauties from snap on there not cheap ,,but fuck there good ,they grab on the flat sides of the bolt the harder you push the harder hey bite and ive never found a rounded bolt or fucked allen key they cant get out ,cheers

That bike stand is pure genius mate!!!!!
i hope the idea take off
i got a set of irwin sockets from bunnings for about $60 that are the same design as the snap on but not deepwell - maybe not the same quality tho
Thats gold Pete, love the stand..
i dunno mate, i know they are big screw jacks
but i hate those evil fuckers
fold over with side load, had one under a van once changing a tyre and... [XX(]
Rev the fucker!!!!!
they scare me now too , but its a way cool idea[
yeah top idea, i gotta couple of those jacks lying around home, time to build me a bike stand
Cool idea........Looks like you've managed to flatten out that pesky thumb with a knockometer too.
Awesome bike lift mate. Those bloody Jacks give me nightmares, nasty pieces of work they are, but 2 together overcomes the ol' rollover whilst right up high problemo.
do u crank em up at the same time?
One pic they aren't joined and another pic it looks like theres a threaded rod all the way thru the both of em. I'v got about 10 of those fuckers outside my shed I keep rolling my ankles on em at night
on uneven ground there total poo ,but for this job there perfect. as its on a flat surface,both of these jacks are rated at 750kgs each .so i think a stationary bike should be safequote:Originally posted by fimpBIKES

i got 2 jacks both the same size and welded the thread from the 1st jack into the winder part of the 2nd jack so both wind up together,its very stable,quote:Originally posted by 336LJ

Have you got a part# for the sockets Pete?
A streetfightered bike lift lol!
What was the thought process you went through to set it up? Did you have to make dead sure that the tops were exactly level before joining the winding rods etc?
I'm going to make a couple of these myself, and I'd love to know what to be aware and learn from your mistakes.
,it took me one go your lookin at it i made it 2 years ago when i had a zxr750,h1,,then cut those mounts off and welded on new ones for the gsxr1100w,just make sure there both the same size and the same amount of threads sticking out there ends,i used scrap from under my bench to join them ,weld the thread to the winding mechanism of the 2nd jack tack weld in case u fuck it up ,also measure th width of your frame ,good luck cheersquote:Originally posted by Jup
