Hi, i need to replace the rear shocks on my 04 speedmaster, can anyone advise where the jacking point is? I was thinking of using a hydraulic trolley car jack but am worried of damaging the sump. There appears to be a frame rail running under the engine - can i lift the bike on this ? Thanks Joe
I put a breeze block to one side of the bike, ran a plank under the frame rails and then used trolley jack, jacked the bike up under the plank, under the frame rail. Once high enough, slid another breeze block under the other end. Very simple bridge structure, but worked a treat. Will search for an image.
Phone won't let me edit, so new post. Used straps to keep front wheel straight, otherwise it wanted to flop over and tip the bike.
I use one of these... As long as you keep away from the oil filter, you're OK. Bike is very stable (BTW, this is not me, I found this video on YouTube)
ok good ruse, but any ideas for the Trophy Four, the lowest point is the exhausts pipes, and the space between where the oil filter cover is , is too small to make up a form from wood. I have a reasonably hefty bike lift that works by bottle jack, but has two parallel rails about 40cm apart. works on a collapsed parallelogram principle, but needs the bike frame bottom rails methinks.... or are the exhausts man enough? me not thinks. ideas??
I'm just looking at maybe getting one of these (blue one), because I'm fed up kneeling on the floor https://on-bike.com Or maybe this one as a cheaper option, but it may not lift a Thunderbird Storm in future.... http://www.motea.com/en/paddock-sta...lic-lift-constands-xl-black-i4014-12593-0.htm
