Got me one of these, and they are cool (but $$$ :jaw ... Shown with my R6 track whore, but I have the VFR adapter, and that's why I posted here :biggrin: ... ACE
Appears to be a Motion Pro coolant recovery tank Rob. BTW - Cool work stand ACE. Was looking into picking up one of those myself.
Thanks Stosh. I want to know more about that jack too. By the way, they didn't used to let you use antifreeze on the track. If I remember right, you could use water wetter.
Thx. Yup, coolant recovery tank. And if your engine temps reach 275, and fluid boils out of the tank, the little black cap will deform :biggrin: ... the organizations I ride with still don't allow glycol based anti-freeze, although Engine Ice may be ok, not sure. I always switch to water wetter, I have EI in there now for the winter. I'm now able to push the bike up against the wall, slide another bike in next to her, and only take up about the same space I was using for one bike, so that's nice. She's in the lowest of 3 height positions. I've got to pull the forks and shock for winter refresh, so won't raise her anymore unless necessary to play underneath. The casters are pretty good, but could be a bit better for the price. My garage floor is fairly smooth, my driveway is not. I would be apprehensive spinning her around in the driveway at full height :smile:. It will be interesting to see how it handles raising my VFR. They show raising and spinning a Busa around, so the VFR should be ok ... Oh, it's definitely too bulky/heavy for track pit use. I looked at the Bursig lift for that purpose. The Bursig is less versatile for garage use though. As I don't know how much longer I'll be riding the track, I chose a lift that will serve me as I continue riding in general. This set up with adapters (comes with one, add'l are 35 ea.) for 2 bikes and shipping was 750. The Bursig is 490 + 120 for a single adapter, + 120 for additional adapters, if they even have one for the VFR. So for me the Bursig set up would have been about 730. ACE
