Jacking up the R3T

[Chip]

Thanks for the common sense logic on the posting. I would like to buy you a drink if we cross roads someday EasTexRIII. Southwest Michigan is a hell of a ride from your door! I've met quite a few good eggs in this forum. More knowledge than any college class or board room table I've been to. Thanks and a tip-of-the-hat!

This has been doing the job for me over the past 2.5 yrs

Triumph Rocket III Stand

$200 engine crane...This little one is good for 1.2 tonnes...I can lift the whole bike nearly 3feet and work under it without any interference. Of course I do have to play a trust game with my snatch straps....

Sorry to any and all individuals who have invested money and time in fabricating or purchasing lifting devices for the R3T. My reply wasn't ment to one up anyone. I have followed the different posts on the subject. The fixture that has been shown before and the drawing shown with photos is superior to what I have discussed. I can assure everyone reading this that I am NOT a "special snowflake". lol. I'm just a retired auto executive who worked in maintenance for 30+ years. My simple lifting device was ment to be a new simple device that almost anyone can build and works better AND safer than 2x4 on a jack.... Simple

No apologies needed @Chip . Lifting the beast has been discussed and debated since I joined this forum . The drawing I posted was evolved from another members post and idea . We are all here to help one another and by pooling and gathering knowledge is how most problems are overcome ! Your ideas and questions are most welcome , keep em coming .

I´m using this:


Works well with a regular motorcycle jack.

For minor maintenance, washing and even storage I use this: Triumph Rocket 3-Lifter d 8mm - Becker-Technik

Just got the bike back in one piece today so only changing the coolant left and I´m ready for next season.

And this post is a perfect example of these points:

The absolute stupidity of that statement is that reading old posts is not a bad idea, but asking a "fresh question" about a previously covered subject always brings about new ideas sometimes an even improved way of doing something or even some newly discovered products that have not been mentioned before.

I have a big Blue bike lift - got it for my Rocket 3 but have just purchased the kit that fits the holes at rear of engine on the R3T these are a superb tool , the bike is very stable even at full height. Removal of wheels etc is made simple.
