Real pain to work on something so low to the ground. Anyone come up with a low cost way to elevate your Silverwing to make maintenance easier? I've seen the lifts for almost a grand. Not even in the budget but the need presists anyway.

Harbor Freight----I paid about $270 out the door. Works fine. Heavy, need truck or van to get home. With lift bike should be tied down before going up, I use quick ties on bars and tie down straps---lift has loops for strap hooks.

Specs say a shipping weight of 363 lbs.
Better have a fork lift or 3 strong guys with good backs.
