2nd Gen lift adaptor

[Gary N.]

Here are some pics of an adaptor I made up for my bike jack. They were on here before but were lost in the crash. Maybe they can help someone out.

Hi Gary,
I am planning to buy one of those bike jack and was wondering why you needed to modify your jack!!http://www.venturerider.org/forum/images/icons/icon4.gif

I own a 99 RSV and would like to use a jack to move my bike around in the garage, will I be able to do that without modifying the jackhttp://www.venturerider.org/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif

Can you also provide the details for the modifications, the pictures are good but a detail explanation of the modifications will help me put everything in place. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif

Many thanks,
Hermann

Carbon_One ( Larry ), is making some very nice lift adapters for 2nd gens. Similar to Gary's, but with a few improvements. He's selling them to Ventureriders for a very reasonable price. Send him a PM or email. Here's a link:

Well, the main reason is because the RSV engine hangs down under the frame and you don't want to lift the bike on the engine.

No, most of the bike jack are flat so you won't be able to lift your bike without modifying the jack. Although some models are out there that come with an adjustable adaptor that will probably work.

I did put some dimensions in the first picture. I just through some scrap tubing together that I had around the shop. Using the dimensions in the picture you should be able to build one. I built a second for a friend using 1" and 1 1/2" tubing and it worked out okay too. If you have access to some tubing it's not hard to build. I have virtually $0.00 invested.

Many thanks,
