This is why this channel is so special. They probably could have gotten one of those companies as a sponsor and shilled the $2000 lifts. But instead they teach us how to make our own without breaking the bank. Thank you everyone at F9.
Best build video ever! * not obnoxiously long * just enough information to do it, or customize it * didn’t feel the need to entirely re-tell the history of motorcycles, lifting, saws, and wood. Top notch!

I saw someone posting their own creation on a forum once - a hospital bed past it's service life with a flat metal top and a front wheel lock. The height and angle adjusters still worked but by hand. Brilliant.

Watch out, bro. You keep doing that, you'll acquire a nice motorcycle, that you like. On the plus side, your riding cravings will not bother you again. Take that plunge.
@@got2kittys My motto, ”one should own just about everything” has made sure that I’m not in a position to buy a bike just now. On the other hand, the younger version is coming of age, so I should actually buy the first bike in advance, just to test drive it and make sure it’s in order…. 😇
I know this is a motorcycle channel, but man it would be great to see y’all expand it to so much more because y’all are so great at this and could easily capture larger audiences
True. But even just staying with motorcycle content they'll likely get additional fans. Case in point: Three years ago I randomly came across the "Ishmael" video where they hang a motor on an old mountainbike and ride it over a mountain pass. I had no interest in motorcycles but since that video F9 has been in my top three channels and I've watched everything as soon as it releases :)
Adding an additional hinge to drop the back of the ramp back down so the rear wheel can free spin (after supporting the rear of the bike) to permit chain cleaning would be my number one mod to this. Thanks F9!
Works. The bent over nails reminded me of building soap box karts out of skids in the early 60s. Lots of bent over nails holding the axles in. The nails were from Dads used nail bucket. Never wasted anything. Cheers 🇨🇦
Same. Once thought to take a shortcut and substituted roofing staples. First turning action at speed resulted in a rapid separation of front axle rebar and tricycle wheels (liberated from little sister's garage sale treasure) in a shower of staples as the front of the kart dug into the pavement.
Thanks! I am a construction worker and literally built one for free from scrap lagging boards, unistrut, and rebar! I had everything I needed the whole time except the creativity.
I bought myself a mini bike for my birthday. Just turned 34 and havnt had a motorcycle since college. Have been watching this channel for the past five years but I feel like I can to relate to this videos....finally.

This should be real purpose of yt, not only diy tutorials, but remembering what real life is - spending time with loved ones, friends etc. F9 bravo for the content.
This is brilliant, the kinds of things old manuals told you how to do that you could just do at home. Simple, effective, cheap. As it should be. Thanks for bringing this to mine and everyone elses attention.
Gonna be honest you could have drawn this out to a 10-20 minute video gained all the ad revenue and still sold the plans and we all would eat it up. Instead you release a solid 3 minute 30 video that was just flat out entertaining. Bravo
Boy, this take me a back a bit. I use to have a DIY lift back in the 90’s, but after turning my love of bikes into my career I bought a proper lift. Ive been working on a Clarke Lift for the better part of two decades.
I can't express how overjoyed I am to see the collab I never knew I needed: Fortnine and King Gizzard and the Lizzard wizard!!! Song is "Tetrachromacy" By King Gizzard. Fun fact, they released that entire album copyright free, so it's free to use by anyone, for any reason.
DIY...now you're speaking my language. A few modifications...scaling back the dimensions of the lumber, replacing the re-bar with a removeable piece made of ABS pipe, fix some wheels to the end, and I'll be able to roll it around and stand it on end in a corner of my garage. This will be great for my sub 300lb bike and scooter.
I have 2 left hands , I just bought the $799 hydraulic motorcycle lift. Not only did I save money on hour labor but I'm pretty sure I saved a couple fingers as well 😅. Epic video!
How did he save you money...you can bike lifts anywhere for 150 bucks that offer more options. Not trying to be mean, just honest. I love F9 and what they do for the community but this just seems more like an ad to hang out with buddies instead of a useful project.
Just learn how to brain in inches and feets. Lumber/woodworking is especially well suited for these measurements. I mean, I had to learn how to brain in metric units on occasion. Seeing that the world uses both systems whether we like it or not, it isn't dumb to be able to use both.
I don't own a motorcycle - but I own a lot of mtbs and have since switched to buying everything I can from Fortnine. Mostly because the prices are very good. But also I like to think that each purchase helps feed Ryan.
I use open end wrenches to turn eyebolts. I put one jaw through the eye and turn. Been doing that for years. Recently I cut a slot in a deep well socket, slip it over the eye and use an electric drill to run it in.
@@karlbishop7481 haha I use that really crappy "gator grip" socket full of springloaded pins for hooks and eye bolts- it's the only thing that sucker is good for
I like the wide design shown at 2:02. You can use something like that with a center stand, rear stand, fork stand, or triple tree stand to remove forks, wheels, rear shocks, etc.
Great vid! Love the workshop. I bet it has a lot of stories to tell. So much to take in from the overhead dental lamp, horsehead, computer work station and much more. Looks like a great place to spend time. Cheers from NB!
I made one with a piece of thick sheet aluminum a friend had lying around. I cut it a foot longer than my longest bike, and bent 1" lip all around to fit perfectly over some milk crates I had in the shed. Then I mounted a cheap wheel chock on the end of it and made a 4 foot wide, L-bracket "arm" out of the same material that fits under the front crate to attach handlebar tie down straps. I already had a ramp to use to get the bike onto it. It weighs next to nothing and is easily stored under the roof of the carport on a cheap rack I made out of rope and plywood strips. It makes working on the bikes a lot easier, especially at my rather advanced age. I wouldn't pull a Gold Wing onto it, but it easily supports all of my sub-500 pound, 650cc and less bikes. I wish I could attach a photo.
I know I am repeating myself, but your production values and storyline is amongst the best on TH-cam. Allow me to correct myself. Infact, it is better than most OTT content.
This is super cool. For anyone that is mechanically inclined, you can buy a really inexpensive motorcycle lift at places like harbor freight for about the same price as the materials cost shown in this video. But definitely a really fun project.
I don’t know how they got the rights to put KGLW music on the video, but it really adds the right atmosphere ! One of the best music for one of the best channel
There are alternatives to the bent-rebar front stop that may make the project more accessible. U-shaped brackets, for instance would be one way. Anyway, great video as always!
@@Tarkov. But it requires tools not everyone would have. Most of this could be done with a plain saw, hand drill and a screw driver if you wanted to. What cheap or repurposed house hold object could you use to bend rebar with?
Thank you! For wheel changes I typically use a ladder. with a cheap 12v boat winch mounted to a piece of wood at the top. Connect the winch to the bike's battery, then lift for wheel removal. In your vid you show the bike swinging, but this is easily remedied by straps to the ladder steps on either side.
I‘m highly interested in two aspects: 1) Weight limit - not due to construction strenght but due to how much bike weight can an adult person hold in balance with stretched elevated arms while letting it roll uphill to the tipping point? 2) What is the advised procedure to let it down again, as that rear lever part has to be disengaged and straightened before rolling back (again: also for bulkier/taller/heavier bikes)?
Good concept but I can see this tipping sideways as it's very narrow. I would improve the design by adding gussets to the side of the legs for stability (or swinging outriggers with a chain to limit their extension). Then making it fold almost flat for storage along a wall by change the leg fixings to more pipe pivots, with a pin to lock them in place when in use, then it can parallelogram down. Then you can stand it on its end and tie it to the wall.
I've done 4 large ratchet straps ran to the rafters before and it worked great, had a Buell hanging from it for 3 months while I rebuilt the entire bike.
Love the plans! The one hesitation on this one is wheel removal. I wonder if you could frame out a platform to be able to get the bike onto stands on top of the lift!?
Great video as always and it might help somone who's got a big shop/garage and already has some materials lying around . But for less than the price of the hardware you can get 1500lb motorcycle jack that does all this and lets you do wheel/fork work as well as move the whole bike around if need be and is much more space efficient.
I think they're redoing it. They had a serious error with one of their tests. The equated gasproof with waterproof. Their demo for gasproof looked cool, but it didn't show how water proof the gloves were.
Nah it happened. (and isn't it scary how common this question is becoming?) Most likely they saw all the feedback on their error and are doing a reshoot.
@@Androajay In the tank test they were testing waterproofness by having the gloves be in water and watching for air bubbles coming out. Problem is that water molecules are bigger than air ones, so really the test just tells how breathable the glove is but nothing really about water resilience. Expensive gloves are supposed to have membranes that specifically allow air through but block water, and that test showed that but was called a bad thing.
Literally every single thought that popped into my mind in considering a lift to work comfortably on my project of a motorcycle - in almost the exact order.
Hiya, great video and nice project! What's the maximum weight it can carry? Is there by any chance a version of the plans available with metric units? (For the few of your followers not living in Northern America, Liberia or Myanmar and for the many of them too lazy to do the maths.) Best wishes!
I declare this to be the second best motorcycle themed video ever. The best one is 400 dollar trip. But this one is not far behind. Actually, it's almost as good.
Have hydralic lifts available for just above 600$ here, no need to go all the way to 2000$. Bought one an it works fine, specially with an added mini screw type lift (60$) to put under the belly of the MC Very flexible setup
Copied from earlier reply: They messed up with equating gasproof with waterproof. They had a cool bubbling tanks with slightly compressed air inside the gloves. It looked cool but it didn't prove what they thought they were proving. The replacement video will likely fix this error.

It's a roll on bike lift. Nobody said anything about getting it back off.

Let's not forget a workshop large enough to contain all this stuff!
You can do it with very basic tools if you really want to...
@@danarrib We're having a laugh is all
King Gizzard is a beautiful choice for this video not only to look well but to sound perfect!.. Wow.
Hey, I'm psychic. The next video will be about waterproof gloves. Watch this space. 😁
Wow, that is genius. It takes an incredibly smart person to think of such a simple design.
Or an even smarter person to spend even less money on one that is already built and gives you more options.
I'm looking for the Fortnine gloves video with a new host and I could've sworn I watched it a few days ago. Was I just trippin or what
Came here to ask the same question, video is now 'private' for me
This gave everyone wood... project that everyone can love and get upon. Thanks Ryan and the F9 Crew.
Waterproof gloves went puff.
Simple pleasures… bikes, beer and buddies. Watching this made me smile.😊
Sweet, was not expecting KGLW
Imperial measurements? Banish them from Canada....
For buildings, it will be a long time before that happens. Lumber is a shared industry between the US and Canada and the US market rules.
It's Canada, you have to respect their measurement identity, no matter how ridiculous, or face severe legal punishment. :p
You buy wood in board feet so inferial system is the way
You can learn both easily
If you don’t have the skills to convert imperial to metric maybe this build is not for you.
Literally every single thought that popped into my mind in considering a lift to work comfortably on my project of a motorcycle - in almost the exact order.
Hiya,
great video and nice project! What's the maximum weight it can carry? Is there by any chance a version of the plans available with metric units? (For the few of your followers not living in Northern America, Liberia or Myanmar and for the many of them too lazy to do the maths.)
Best wishes!
With the size of the wood that would carry a small bus.
Fire up the Goldwing!
Inches x 2.54 = cm
There's free phone apps to convert
@@unsafe_at_any_speed ... like the guy above posted, ... Inches x 2.54 = cm
I don't have a bike, nor need a lift, but if there's a FortNine video uploaded, I'm watching it.
My only caution is sideways stability. I'd be tempted to build a wider base, but then that takes away from the small footprint
How have I been a motorcycle rider all my life and just now found F9? Awesome guys here!
"Top 5 Waterproof Motorcycle Gloves of 2023 - Tested" ?
I declare this to be the second best motorcycle themed video ever.
The best one is 400 dollar trip.
But this one is not far behind. Actually, it's almost as good.
Have hydralic lifts available for just above 600$ here, no need to go all the way to 2000$.
Bought one an it works fine, specially with an added mini screw type lift (60$) to put under the belly of the MC
Very flexible setup
What happened to the waterproof gloves video?
Copied from earlier reply:
They messed up with equating gasproof with waterproof. They had a cool bubbling tanks with slightly compressed air inside the gloves. It looked cool but it didn't prove what they thought they were proving. The replacement video will likely fix this error.
My wood working skills improved by one while watching this and reading a cooking book
Why did you guys already private your new video
