I know I can get to the trans and primary, it looks like the oil may have the cylinder in the way. I have to look into it more, been too busy trying to get the last good rides in
I have to do some fender work this winter so it'll be on the lift after riding season.


Can you get to your drain plugs with it on the plate? Thats pretty sweet and doesn't take the space a table lift does. Nice Job.

You could also try this company

http://www.thecarlsoncompany.com/bestwaylifts/

They sell the bestway lift also, not sure which one would be the best to deal with.

Too bad you didn't catch me before this weekend, I just got back from a ride in the UP of Michigan visiting Copper Harbor and the porcupine mts, and we jumped into Wisconsin for a t-shirt from the dealer in Arbor Vitae, but they were closed. So we settled for a picture and had lunch in Eagle river. We were only 250 miles from where your at, could have gave you a couple of pointers.
