motorbike lifting bench
Has any-one built a hydraulic lifting bench for motorbikes and are plans downloadable anywhere.
Seen lots at classic bike show last w/e and thought I could make one.
Denis.
Where did that go?

Never seen one hand made before but at the local makro they were flogging them for £50, do you think you can make one for significantly less?
A bird in the hand....

If it's any help I can do the "Bike it" one for £335 (I think including delivery - would need to check).
Don't know if you've actually looked at how complex they are, what with locking for the front wheel, removeable plate for rear wheel
access, safety lock, hinged loading plate etc etc, I would have thought you'd be doing well if you could build anything even vaguely as good
inside of a week & by the time you've bought some very substantial steel, some wheels & a substantial jack I'd be surprised if
you'd got any change from £150 & you'd still have to paint it!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

I have made one. I can send you a couple of pictures but not for a few days as I'm abroad at the moment.
Took less than a day to build and was built from stuff lying about.
EDIT: Doesn't have a wheel clamp, I just use paddock stands or centre stands. It's basically a table about 750mm x 1800mm which raises and
lowers hydraulically.

Davie

I'm pretty sure there was one in the JTF flyer that came out the other day Denis, along with the TIG welder,about £40 quid. I'll check
tomorrow. Pretty sure JTF have a branch near you.

Thanks for the replys fella's , I dont want to buy one as I have a welder and lots of steel so just need some dims to get started.
I have found some plans but they are a bit short on info.
I will set the office teenager on to it tomorrow using the iter thingy and see what he comes up with.
Denis the technophobe.
