garage stuff for the bike

[killer_mike]

Ok 2 simple questions [remember be nice:confused:]

-whats the name of that thing that picks up the bike from the back tire and where i can find one?

-where can i buy a ramp to get it on the truck?

Thanks.

i went the cheap route and bought a set of 2 ton jacks from harbor freight. add a couple bolts that fit in your spool holes and voila.
i also use a couple ratchet straps to hold up the front end

The rear stand pictured can be purchased at any dealer, but try Performance Cycle on Broadway or Faster. They both are usually cheaper and Performance has a great selection of both front and rear stands.

Thanks for the help, what about the ramp tho.

those are nice, but due to garage space reasons i have to stick with the ones with the handle on the back, hopefully apex sales them, i never been there but when i was taking the BRC alot of ppl taked about them.

actually the forward handle takes up less room. you'll need an extra 12" in the back with a rear handle and you'll only need less than 6" on the side for the forward handle. Thats why i got it.

Well i gotta say the ones with the handle on the back look smaller on pictures, but i will look it up, thanks. :)

Performance on Broadway/Evans also has stands (front and rear) along with ramps.. Not sure how their pricing compares to Harbor tho.
