Maz's bike lift
I know I'm not the only one to make a bike lift out of an old scissor jack but here's my attempt.....
First I modified an old Ford Anglia side lift scissorjack Then fabricated the top out of off-cuts As you can see it has quite a height range and can easily lift a full size motorcycle.....

- SELF INTRODUCTION: Hello everyone. first of all a big thanks to "Dan the Man". Some of you know me from the previous (2) boards and some don't, so here goes. I have been a fabricator/welder for over 40 years now. Damn that's a helluva long time to do anything! Anyways, I have built literaly 100's of street rods, pro streeters, racecars, bikes and trikes over the years. Never made the headlines and never will. I do what I do because it is the love of my life.
I enjoy reading the posts on the forum and try to contribute when I can. I am sure that this will be every bit as good as the CBH forum, as we will have most of the same folks. Good luck and post a lot of pics!! Jim - Location: Lowcountry USA
Re: Maz's bike lift
Here's another version of the little Ford Anglia.
"The Outlaw Pop"
With a 101 Inch chrome moly chassis, & Keith Black Blown Nitro Motor, 7.57/181mph.
Owned and driven by Andy Carter. We built this car when I worked for Geoff Hauser Race Cars in "Merry Old England". Andy won The Outlaw Pop Championship with this car in 1994 and went on to become the King of Europe in Top Fuel.
