Likwid Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Ohhhh, right because sport bikes don't have the bottom frame tube :-DNot that it matters, I can't find a good spot to jack up the Vulcan anyway :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbuttwannabe Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 FYI, rafters aren't really made for this. They will bow and be noticable from the outside. I wouldn't do it but that's just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 i've done the same over my neighbor's swing-set. My garage rafters aren't exposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey pucks, four of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_racing_guy Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Bike lifts are pretty affordable now from places like greg smith equipment and when used in combination with a race stand and/or scissor jack it sure makes things nice.
