Pretty! Very well executed, envious of those skills.
Like the Norton "ish" on the tank.

6 wheel amphibious tub thingy. Only know that now because I watched it too. The one they did was bought by a group supporting Ukraine where it now lives!

Wow. Thats a shock for you I'm sure but you seem to have a real positive attitude. That will really help. What sort of treatment will you be having??

When you look at youtube loads of these bikes being worked on by younger types BUT very often the basis of cafe racer, bobber etc....

There appears to be a fine line here between all of us being totally normal, for our age group, or totally bonkers 😂😂😂😂
. Sorry cant see that line. Its just a fuzzy blur!!

Superb, great news, you’ll love that

I certainly will, so will her indoors, there are currently two motorcycles parked up in the house as the guys needed access through the garage to complete the base and I wasn’t leaving them outside. She’s looking forward to gaining some of the garage space back, apparently we need a dog washing sink installing in there now!

Compromise and get a parts washer they can share.

Machine mart do an air assisted ramp. If yours is a Clarke one (or similar) I'm sure you could add this option.
Maybe worth investigating.

(Attachment Link)

In fact, I'm tempted to do that to mine....
Basically the system on my (Made in China?) bike lift...
Takes longer then pumping manually though, with my small compressor it struggles a little with a 312kg ST1100 on the plate...  ;)
But it works, servicing the jack (replacing/topping off the oil) does help...
(had to upgrade the release mechanism with actual U-joints, tiny cotter-pins on the original design didn't cut it...)

Yes must be similar to mine. That linkage as standard is shocking. Looking at the videos converting with the air jacks etc.,  that point was addressed regularly. Best solution was a dewalt 90 degree extension then linked to UV joints and socket drives etc.

I've sent an email to Machine Mart spares department (I've dealt with them before on other bits of kit) and let you know what they say.
My hydraulic ram is like the one removed on the video clip.

Appreciated. My lift is under a load of boxes in the garage - post extension and I need a sort out. I need to check lift mechanism. Its a generic Chinese important I'm sure but all very similar and probably made by the same people..

Yes saw that as a bespoke part which doubt can be sourced in the UK. Just wonder if the little silver air box thingy screwed into existing pump per original image/ post / suggestion, is available?

I am going to a party Sat eve and hopefully an acquaintance of mine will be there who specialises in hydraulics. I'll bend his ear!
