I built a bike lift on top of my four post car lift
« on: February 07, 2025, 11:27:14 AM »

I am lucky enough to have a nice big garage. I have a four post lift that I use for vehicle maintenance and restore my 1972 Chevrolet blazer. I didn’t wanna take up more floor space with a dedicated motorcycle lift. So after some measurements I made this. Once the bike is on it, I can remove all the centerpieces so the tires are each on the runways and I have full access to the underside of the bike if needed. I strapped the wheel with a ratchet strap to the condor wheel chock which is bolted directly through the runway. I have to raise the lift a couple of inches to allow the race ramps to fit under the aluminum ramp for extra support. The notch I cut out of that ramp is where the rear tire goes making it much easier to remove everything to work on the bike.

Here is my friend‘s bike up on the lift. We are installing the Mueller power clutch 2.0 with the all metal cable adjuster to replace the plastic factory junk. We are also installing heat shield insulation from DEI.
