Good lift points?

[1olbull]

Can't see it in the photo; but, on the other side of the V2K is a hydraulic lift table.
It doesn't work well for removing the wheels. Generally a second person to steady the bike is used when removing or installing wheels.

Or were you referring to the Jeff174 photo?

This is what I did

I bolt my R3 to the lift through the lifting points. Its a bit of a bugger to get the bolts in - lining it all up - but once it is in place --- it stays there......

Same as 1olbull...what you can't see is the pneumatic handi-lift table. the table doesn't have cut outs for the tires so we i needed to put on this lift to remove both tires at same time. Didn't feel great about the bike on that lift either, but it was pretty stable.

How mine sits at the moment - very stable.

Have you got your tins away for painting???
If so what's the new colour?

hope nobody ever see what happens if the lift slide and the bike falls over . I liked the yellow stands to steady the bike that way nothing goes anywhere

Tony,
Actually, I have grown to like the plain old Matte primer look. No fuss - no muss and no worries if it gets scratched up a little. My 2012 R3R is a rider and not just another pretty showmobile.

I'll be keeping it simple and staying with the black and adding stripes like the 2013 & 2014 models; except I'm not doing them in white or red; but, bright yellow just to screw with the herd a tad.

Eh?
Are you thinking about hooking up with us on the way to Montrose?
Spending a night in Nampa, ID and then in Vernal, UT before riding into Montrose.

Be sure to strap her down to the lift, just in case.

Tried that.....some how she managed to wiggle free....

never thought about it as I believed to be the only one from the north going south but yes that would be great
originally my plan was going to drive with bike in the box of the truck but I can hookup with others that makes it so much more pleasant. keep me informed..

So far two of us are leaving Tacoma, WA the 19th and riding to
Pasco, WA to visit Rocket Roger. The 20th we ride to Nampa, ID
to meet Idaho Red Rocket. The 21st we have a long ride (500mi)
to Vernal, UT to meet Rolltide and a guy from Wyoming (I forget his handle).
The 22nd is a short ride (200mi) into Montrose, CO.
