Where did you get the hydraulic lift from? I assume you made the bike holder yourself
Trigger:
Great bit of work on the bike lift. Can't see any locking pin, just in case the bottle jack gives up ;) I see two now ;D
Arch stanton:
Once apon a time.
I got a tip off regarding the parts left over from a Seeley built F1.
The guy sent Seeley a new F1 still in the crate.
They sent him a bike + the surplus parts. Which I bought for
£100.
Unfortunately the frame had to be Q regularly but...
Moorey:
There seems to be a little interest in my set up. It is a Easylifter http://www.easylifter.co.uk/Hydraulic-Scooter-&-Bike-Rack.htm I bought used of Ebay. As with most things its not until you start using something you then you think that bit could be better. On the lifter pic with the Kawasaki on before I added 3" into the platform the engine cases were touching the lifting post, or the 125s footrest rubber wore through the end on the post. I also added 6" to the length of the frame bed and extended the aluminium platform the same The bottom pivot bushes were Sintered Oilite bushes and were starting to break up so I made some a little more substantial.

The front wheel chock is another Ebay item £30. I don't think I could have made it for that amount and it works well. Again I have modified it a little for my particular application but nothing anyone with a saw and drill couldn't do. Just to make it easier to alter for different wheel sizes.

There is one spring loaded locking pin just above the jack in case of jack failure. I have also drilled through the box and tapped the other box so I can bolt it up solid. It is decent section box and will hold a thread ok until I get round to welding a nut in. :) The bottom hand wheel you can see is to aid assembly and take some of the sideways wag out of it. I also put on the bottom ratchet straps to stop it wagging.
On the van I have removed the rear suspension bump stops and replaced them with Air assister bags which has improved things greatly
I was considering the Hydra Trail until I had a good look at one and I do not like the way it is designed and works.
Tomb:
Probably more chances of winning the lottery, well done.
I made a rack for the back of my motorhome for my CB77 sprinter for trips to IOM, not hydraulic though I just use a ramp, but a LOT lighter bike.
