You guys all got me excited to “just do the work myself”
So now I want a motorcycle lift
But not a ...... harbor freight one
what do u use @endodoc ?
Suggestions anyone?
 
Handy Industries is pretty much the gold standard. I’m limited on space with the amount of bikes I have in the garage so I appreciate the Kendon for its ability to fold up and roll away.
 
Thanks man but she is somewhat of a battered woman at the moment. Years of being used as a mule for trying stuff out she is due for a refurb. Almost 20k miles on it. Building an SL street fighter now. When it’s done, I’ll send the old lady in for a lift, some double Ds and some Botox. The bike, not the wife. The wife is still under warranty.

I wish u would go on a picture posting rampage or jump on Instagram or BragBook. You can’t keep all these awesome projects to yourself
 
It’s a V2. I scored a carbon frame and motor parts. I am working on some V4 stuff but I’m not really into the 4. It’s just not for me

Yeah I was ready to send my PV4 back cause I thought it was very slow compared to my 1299 but it turns out in race mode, DTC on level 5 reduces output by too much. So I dialed it back to 1 and now it rips

but I get it. I would love to see a 1299 with updated fairings and maybe an improved intake tract like the new V2 has and of course a better tune from factory.

u would be the perfect candidate for a build thread but that would take too much time away from actually building

Which black tail light assembly is on your bike? The black ones i have are kinda garbage. I think the OEM unit is much more premium with the fiber optic piping But I noticed part of my OEM tail light was flickering so I put got the blacked out one with integrated turn signals. Now I’m thinking I want to install a new OEM unit and call it a day

I do like your license plate holder too
 
I don’t remember who made it. License plate holder is home made. Piece of carbon L bracket and an aluminum hinge. It’s held up by a magnet in the subframe and down by magnets in the hinge. Good for certain circumstances. Just reach back and flip it up or down
 
I have a cheap Roughneck 37756 that a friend gave me. He was cleaning out his garage and had paint buckets and other miscellany sitting on it. Told me to come pick it up.
It's a manual hydraulic, but free is free. I took the junk tire clamp off and bolted a pivot style chock. I'm 6'5" and it lifts it plenty high for me.

Getting the bike off the ground by any safe means is a game changer from an enthusiasm perspective. It makes laborious task much less so.

I’d agree, by a long shot. But I’m at a point in my life where if I spend $4k on a lift, it better be making me money. I could bang out oil changes all day long.

then I’d want a tire machine and a much larger facility. Probably like yours that u won’t share any pictures of. Come on man give us the tour
