The plans I have are too big to post, 29 pages. It includes plans for the lift I have, regular table, ramp, wheel clamp and a front wheel stand, plus detailed bill of materials. It is a really great package. I bought it off ebay last year. I offered to send it to anyone who would make a $5 donation to KZrider but I got no takers (you cheap bastards) so now I will offer it for the low low price of...your email address. Just pm your email and I will get a copy out to anyone that wants it.

I have the small Larin lift But since most kawasakis are not flat under them they dont work very well atleast I dont feel safe ,, I broke down and bought a Harbor Frieght table a couple years back ,, love it , I have had a 600 lbs bike on it with no problem ,, I feel much safer working on the bikes on it , it also raises higher than the small ones do

Damn Hoss. Pushing around over 1000lbs. Remind me not to pick a fight with Steell :P


It's an industrial table, steel wheels on ball bearings with grease zerks, don't lean against it because it rolls "easy" :D

Although since I am 6'3", 245 lbs (quit smoking and gained 20 lbs), and a heavy equipment mechanic dealing with heavy stuff, plus 30 years of brawling all around the world, not picking a fight with Steell is probably a good idea :D :D

As long as you live far away from update NY I still reserve the right to pick an internet fight with you :laugh:

I never fight over words, I can only fight when physically attacked, that's the rule :)

Here's a not very good pic of my $30 hydraulic lift table.

Actually, if you have a few spare bucks in your jeans, I'll bet you can get a good deal on a Handy table right now. They really are the dog's bollocks for working on bikes.
The boss bought 2 new ones for the shop last fall....in Kawi green, yet...B). The downside is that they're air lift rather than hydraulic....but then most guys that are going for some kind of bike lift already have an air compressor...
right??;)
I would love to have ANY kind of table-type lift setup....
but I've got NO room to store one anywhere. Grrrrr.....
Next house will have a three car garage with slot #3 devoted to bikes only.B) :lol:

KZ650C2 Stock/mint. Goes by "Ace".
H2A Built from a genuine basket case. Yes,it's a hot rod.
GT550A Stock/mint. Pleasant stroker.
2006 Bandit 1200S for easy LD rapid transit
Various H2 projects in the wings.

I ended up getting one of the craftsman lifts, for 70 bucks. Not what i really wanted, but it will have to do, until i have the space and money for a table fift.
