I put the sand tape all the way up to the front.when you back off the lift you might lock the front wheel and loose control.i did but i recovered before the bike went down. Just my 2 cents.
That is way overkill. by the time you bought all of that you could nearly be able to purchase a double wide lift rated for a trike. You could not put a trike on that lift. Which would be the only reason for me to modify that particular lift I just use a cylinder block for the kick stand and walk the bike up with it in first gear. I am handicapped and can still walk the bike up on the lift.
I just picked up this lift and it cost me $519.99. Then the $89.00 for the side ramps. $50 for the pipe and $5 for the bolts. If you can get a double wide ramp that is rated for 1500 pounds for $665 I'd be amazed. Cheapest double wide 1500 pound ramp I could find cost $1500. So yeah, we are at half that cost.
Get rid of the wood strip and tighten the u clamps some more you won't have to have any blocks and ramps will be solid. That's what I did for mine and it works very well
I have the same lift, I have a very slick floor, no cracks and yes they slide, especially if you are trying to push a bike up on it, not drive up, I wanted that wheel chock but got the grey cradle style instead, yours is better for just the reason you talk about, tire changes. These lifts make working on the bike a dream, anyone spending time in the mud, or on concrete on your knees needs this. When I was 25 not an issue, 50 its an issue..
go to FAB Automotive Detailing on youtube, he done the siderails also like you did, his are very sturdy, he's 250 lbs. and he stands on them..... pretty simple to do too... thanks for sharing.....
those tee bolts that go to the floor ues a hole saw above them then make a handle to tighten & back off . i use a 4 by 6 under ramp then use a 2 by 12 to make ramp lower pitch HAPPY TRAILS

All these engineers who recreate the wheel makes me wonder why they just didn’t built the concept from scratch.
I put Wood 777 Cams on my 13 CVO ULTRA. . Not that hard to do.

Nice bike. I have a 2009 Road King Classic with tour pack.
Thanks for the tips.
