Easy Rizer Bike Lift?

Sorry, Ian. I thought you were talking about bolt stock going all the way between the frame holes.

I like the idea of using a solid pin through the frame holes just for the little extra bit of metal. Bolts have a tendency to bend/break with sheer stress. I haven'/t figured out just how to spring-load the pins for easy attachment to the bike - one of those things that'll come to me in the middle of the night, I'm sure.

L-shaped bracket of at least 1/4" steel or 3/8" aluminum. Bracket bolted onto the lift. One side with a solid pin, the other with a movable one (possible spring-loaded) with tight machining through the bracket and possibly a cotter pin as a means to secure it on the back side of the frame hole. I could always go to a threaded bolt through the tapped bracket and then to a pin through the frame hole. I haven't made up my mind. And I don't have a metal lathe.

..you're on to something gr..I've got a pair of the adapter blocks that skip had somebody make up a while back..they work ok but the the problem with the beast is, ya gotta have the back tire on a piece of 2x6 to give give the clearance needed to get the jack under..another piss poor design from Triumph..

Very much expensive ! Have a look at http://www.amoirtools.co.uk/Small Lift.html at the bottom of the page . You will see a Rocket
on her lift .

We all do it a bit differently. Skip's brackets can be seen on the top of the Blackjack. I bought it to lift my Electra Glide but found it worked fine with the Rocket. I can lift the Rocket about 12 inches fully extended but I don't go much about about 8 inches, which is what I needed to get the front tire out from under the fender.

When I recently changed my front tire, I expected the bike to tip back onto the rear tire when I removed the front. It did not. It was balanced just about evenly but still a little heavy to the front. I could easily hold the bike in place after I removed the tire but stabilized it with a second jack.
