I have a ramp with the parallelogram type legs. Mine has a tendency to skid across the floor when pushing the bike up it. If I forget to move it back when lowering it. It sits nicely on the open draw of my brothers snap on tool chest that he dumped in front of it.
He didn't notice until the other day when moving it to his new place of work. He thinks that he must have done it loading it onto the van.

My garage floor is as bumpy as hell and it can be a real pig to move with a bike on it.

Here's some pics of the easy rider in action,  steady as a rock.  Close up is of wedge on top of platen on lift to accommodate odd shape of sump.

Hi Bill,

Thanks very much for taking the trouble to show the pictures with the 400f mounted on the lift, thats most helpful,

Does the 4branch exhaust on the rh side cause any issues when lifting because it almost masks the rh frame tube or have you shaped blocks to compensate. ?

Great stuff ;D

Thanks

Dennis

Dennis, careful positioning just clears downpipes and exhaust. Bit of a faff but doable 👍

Dennis, some pics of exhaust side and "custom " wedge ! Note exhaust is reverse cone mega which is not standard.
