Ramp safety front wheel removal advice please ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

AndyD:
I found a small scissor jack really useful for this sort of job.
These have two upstands with rubberised coating that can be adjusted to sit under the frame sections.
This sort of thing...

That's a neat looking Jack Andy can you post me a link.
Thanks for everyone's answers I will probably end up with a hybrid solution.

I have a jack like the one Andy pictured. I used it for front wheel removal etc. on bikes where I had to put a paddock stand under the swingarm due to the absence of a centre stand.

It supports the frame....and the frame supports can be moved to sit right for the frame. Where no frame rails exist.....I remove the rail bits....and use a bit of wood with rags or a piece of old carpet on top to protect the engine.

I binned the silly little tommy-bar they supply to raise or lower it, and just put a ratcht and suitable socket on the thing to take it up or down. Cost me about £50 off Amazon

price has gone up a bit since I got mine .... but heres the link:

AndyD:
Ted,
The one I've got is the 'Oypla Heavy Duty 500kg Motorcycle Motor Bike Stand Scissor Lift' from Amazon - bought it a couple of years ago for about £40 from memory.
One nice thing with them is that they're not hydraulic so don't start lowering on their own if left for a while!

Cheers,
Andy

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I've ordered a similar looking one should be here at the end of the week 1100 lbs lift capability for £45 on e-Bay. Thanks for the pointers.

Update
Here it is in use - I like the lock pin even though a screw should never come down - it was quite heavy!
