I still have the plans somewhere if you want them.

I had a post typed out to say as much then didn't post it?
Was keen on seeing how you got the jack under without making the table to high to get the bike on?
Plans for me to if you can find them please

Thanks husa but the bloody hospital beds are $5-800 each 2nd hand on T/me.
A dedicated bike lift off Trade me is better at $495 and no alterations to do?
Keen on Aaron to find those plans if he'd be so kind

I've got this far but would like a real one

Ok, sorry took my time, but have not been here.

Start, the base, is 2, 2200 x 40 x 40 x 6mm angle, back to back. Is a bit light, if doing it again, would use 25 x 50 x 4mm RHS (part of the superstructure at the front over the jack, is to prevent the base from bowing up, with weight on the table.

Legs are 25 x 50 x 2mm RHS, again a bit light, should use 4mm (hence reinforcing on front legs)

Table is 1800 x 880 made from 50 x 25 mm x 3mm RHS, with 20 mm particle board, and covered with 1.6mm sheet (that was from something else, and was what I based the lifts dimensions on).

The jacking pivot point, is 250mm up the front leg.

Some photos (it is still undergoing mods,)0
blah blah

Cheers AD. I will remember that.....not that I have the talent to make one mind you!

Right I had to dig deep but I have found the plans for the bike lift.

When it is its lowest state its about 130mm off the ground, if I had purchased a low profile jack I could have made it a lot less.
Only a couple of things I would change....

If you are interested send me a PM with your email address and I will send you a copy.
I also searched pictures of completed stands which helped heaps.

I spy the RG in the background!

**Arronduke** · 23rd September 2015, 19:29

What can I say.. sure looks like my shed.... But I'm sure its not. Next beer stop I will have a look to see, maybe I'm missing something.
"smart ass".... I sure laughed with the comparison, how did Malcy stage this?

Does not look like much has been happening to that RG. Correct and wrong.
Wife has brought a horse. End of statement. My life is close to ending.... a horse is like a second wife that does not put out, demands everything and needs more attention than a 40+yr knob.

So basically I'm fucked.

After trial and error old tyres can be glued on to kids shoes and they wear them, tried the wife's boots but the chunky tread was to obvious and she threw them back in my shed.
But thanks to water, corn beef and pumpkin as a stable diet there was enough cash to purchase some new parts... finally. Oh and mental note always send bits to your work and get yourself a credit card that NO one knows about.. When paying the credit card call it car service, school fees and fines. But to be honest council rates is the best after all we know what Len Dickhead Brown has done to those.

I have spent some cash and this was not a small sum. NZ customs made me to apply for an importers number, any purchase over $1000 needs an importer licence. This took ages, but arrive the parts did. So add the clearance fee, GST and handling fee they sure know how to rip you off.

Note from RG web site...anything from Maranello Engineering is going to be better than anything from Suzuki. Factories build to a price. Maranello builds to the state of the art, then puts a price on it. Have to agree this kit was not cheap, hence no progress for some time while I stole cash from all directions. Yep...I had to drip feed the dude...

This is a full rotary disc set from Italy, Maranello engineering. The work man ship is outstanding this company make a lot of RG500 parts. I used to re-line the discs for people but I decided I did not want to worry about disc liners and went for a total rebuild. The discs are aluminium hard anodised so no wear. All I have to do is get the clearances right and the kit comes with multiple thickness gaskets for the job.
