    Had my Street Cup for 6 months now and super impressed with it. Hopefully made some subtle changes, which are included in the attached photos. Need advice on a scissor jack, as these models seem to have the sump slightly lower than the frame rails!!! All advice welcome.
    Regards

    My Bonneville 865 needed timber shims so it sat on the frame rails.

    I mean carefully selected pieces of wood that are thick enough but not too thick. Shim on you!

    Cheers, got the bobbins from TEC but wanted a way to lift both wheels at the same time. The hydraulic looks good, but a scissor jack is the same principle. unfortunately both contact the frame/sump exactly the same, so was looking for a lift that has something to prop under the frame rails on either side. Hope that makes sense.
    Cheers

    The overall width of the supports on the lift is 30cm with a gap between of 17.5cm, which I believe was sufficient to allow for the frame rails to sit on the lift supports whilst missing the sump. But my memory being on par with a goldfish, I can't say for certain that I did use it on the Street Cup, but I certainly used it on the Bobber which had a similar issue with the frame rails and sump.
