Cheap DIY Motorcycle Lift

[@maogao97]

can we all take a moment and appreciate how good the $10 harbor freight angle grinder is ?

[@TheGardenSnake]

Haha word

[@kBIT01]

They do well other than that terrible power switch

[@mpikas]

I bought my first one in '98, and I still use it. It has a crack in the gear housing, but that's my own fault- I cranked down on it with a vise to hold it and use it as a stationary grinder and cracked it, but even like that it's worked fine for probably 10 years.

[@Unlucky13_s]

maogao97 what about that BD drill? Haha that fucker did some work!

[@longlowdog]

Wow, an honest internet build complete with rough edges and mismatched sizes that just plain gets the job done. Massive regards from a fellow home bodger and fabricobler from Scotland. I hope 2020 brings you a safe and prosperous new year.

[@samueldeter9735]

Well that comment aged rather poorly

[@SteelCogs]

Solid idea! If I had room for it, I'd make my own in a heartbeat. Only criticism is that instead of a plywood top and 2x4 slats I probably would have used more steel square tube as slats, then topped it off with aluminum tread plate. Would definitely cost more but the weight would absolutely be comparable. I think tread plate would look nicer and would hold up better to fluids being spilled onto it.

[@PrimalEnduro]

Got my Harbor Freight lift table for $299 (it goes on sale frequently) and love it! No stability issues at any height. Holds by 250lb enduro bike at any height and comes 95% assembled in the crate. And I have no problem moving it with the bike on it around the garage!

[@michaelquintana7553]

Shiiittt, if i find it for that price i would jump at it. My problem is my V rod is 96 inches and this table it 86 i think.

[@zackarybrown6752]

Watching the lift go up and down. It looks like the joint on the side you load the bike might need some more reinforcement as it seems to flex quite a bit. Other then that I'm quite surprised at how well it turned out.

[@cappe_yt9182]

yhee lower part flexed quite a bit, maybe som bars across it or might need thicker tube and or welding

[@HalfdeadRider]

Those bolts alone probably don't hold well enough, I would get bigger bars and get them welded in and braced in a couple of places like Cappe said, fun project though.

[@Hellsong89]

It seems that end connecting peace is hit by lifting arms when those go down, so reinforcing bolt connection only leads to tress in that area. He just needs to move back lifting arms towards center, i'd say 4 inches and problem is solved. For the bolt connections, suuure you can take it apart move easily.. kinda, but he has what 5k worth of bikes and multitude of other tools... and not even couple hundred bucks stick welder, wtf? Painting the plywood would also be good idea to increase its life and painting it later becomes bit of a problem when its soaked by oil and other crap.

Weld that shit. Those little cheap home depot bolts in a bag are going to fail. Monte Blackwell,j ust because someone has a high sub count dont mean shit. Many of us dont care to put time into a youtube channel. Great concept,but needs to be stronger and the base needs to be wider. Atleast somekind of out riggers

[@robertweisskopf]

I use the Harbor Freight model with my 2008 gold wing and have never felt it unsafe. I think if you were concerned it would have been easier to have added two extensions with casters to the front.

[@brianalbee2881]

I did something similar to lift my 900lb bikes. Difference being i built a whole new frame around the existing frame and then welded the HF jack to it to not only add rigidity by widen the frames footprint by 6-8" which greatly increased the overall stability. Of course now the jack weighs in excess of 90+ lbs. Nice job BTW

[@thinkdunson]

pro tip: you should also use some wood glue in addition to the wood you join with screws. wood screws work loose; wood glue does not. if you made two of these, one with and one without glue, you wouldn't notice a difference today... but you would ten years from now. wood glue is literally stronger than wood, with proper clamping; which you get with the screws. so years from now, when those screws start to ream their channels out, the glue will still be rock solid. also, you always dampen the wood with a sponge before applying the wood glue. it helps the glue to seep into the pores.

[@jimkubitza3820]

i agree, and it would be easy to add the glue!

[@fukcg00gle95]

Droppin knawledge!

[@grindathont9729]

also spring washers, nylocs or locktite on those bolts as they will loosen themselves off

[@anonimous2451]

woodology 101. Nice tip. Lock Washers work well. Nylocs are better, they resist vibration loosening. All good tips.

[@harryohanson]

Ya, Jake! You need that TIG welder! By the way, it was nice visiting with ya! Thanks for coming by!! Hey, something I have on my lift are boat straps for trailer that completely retract when not in use.

[@paulstaf]

That is cool! If you are worried about stability, you could build an outrigger that goes out a couple feet on each side that bolts to the extended frame rails you made...unbolt it for storage.

[@godfreymcloughlin4950]

Hinged outriggers would be ideal.

[@brick4321]

My harbor freight lift rolls great its on wheels. I love my lift and i use it alot never had issues. btw i bought my lift for 300 bucks with a coupon.

[@hockeygeek21]

noah would have been easier to modify the harbor freight lift with a shorter height lock than build this sketchy AF lift. For close to the same price too.

[@richmo619]

Jake, add some metal cross bracing on the underneath uprights. Diagonal members will eliminate any lateral sway. Also get your ties downs out further, as that will stabilize the bike laterally as well. Diagonals keep parts from moving side to side, and make your whole set-up more stable than it already seems to be. Nice job. :)

[@Caniboss1]

Hope your family is doing great Jake. I like the ingenuity of this build. Simple yet reliable. Hope to see more content in the future but I know that you have more taxing things on your agenda.

[@BDK27970]

I think this is absolutely genius, and my hats off to you, sir! I've tried solving the no bench dilemma for years. My solution was a heavy homemade bench and an engine hoist. That was fine for building rigid frames but now I ride a Heritage Softail and find myself in the same old boat, lol. I'm not sure if your solution would work for me or not, but I loved watching this video and it's definitely got my gears turning... Well done, indeed.

[@ralphcantrell3214]

I made one out of a piece of thick sheet aluminum a friend gave me. I used my circular saw and an old blade I didn't care about to cut it to the perfect size. This worked like a champ. Then I took it to a local metal shop to have a 1", 90 degree lip bent on all sides. I carefully planned it to fit perfectly over three old, heavy duty milk crates I had laying around. I mounted a cheap wheel chock up front and made tie down points for the bar straps to attach to. I already had a ramp. It works great, weighs next to nothing, and when I'm not using it, it just stacks in a corner.

[@AdjrianNickelodeon]

I saw that lift in last week's video and didn't think much of it, now that I see how much work you put into it I appreciate it more 👌

[@maltejuergensen2118]

Thanks - that gave me the confidence to cut my perfectly good lift in half and stretch it out .... we used a welder and heavier iron - no plywood - metal top - works great :) take care - cheers from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada :)

Great build. I would add thin gauge steel to the top. That way when oil or any liquids spill it's an easy clean and wouldn't be absorbed into the bare wood.

[@michaelquintana7553]

My thoughts exactly

[@andresdiaz4725]

Pretty good. I just built mine with a used lift, same type. I have a flux welder, "donated" solid door, used steel bed frame (angle iron) and found T bar. Paid $30 for lift used and $20 for hardware (carrage bolts, eye bolts, nuts and washers. Currently working on wheel chock with bed frame angle iron.

[@StrawberryRazorz666]

Add rail slots towards the back of the board panel by the rear wheel so you can add another wheel chuck fornmore security...just a neat idea. Very awesome build!!!

[@ryanjessup3071]

I got my HF lift for 299 on sale. I put Harley street glide on it and moves very easy and lifts it no problem.

This is a very, very innovative modification of a HF lift. The height is perfect too.

[@masterbeta343]

Very practical. The only thing is that the bike wobbles a little more than id probably be comfortable with but still very useful. My dad bought a used pneumatic lift and its pretty useful but its definitely a permanent structure in our shop now

[@NetworksNYC]

I like the concept and end result. All in for $200 is not bad either. I got lucky and picked up a PITTSBURGH 1000 Lb. Steel Motorcycle Lift from Harbor freight for only $279 on a wicked sale. The regular price is $450 and the lift is amazing. The downside is it's not the type of sale they have all the time.

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

I am almost speechless. You took a perfectly good lift that would do more than you need and made something worse with it! Tell me, what can a table do that a lift can't? I'll tell you what a lift CAN that a table can't, it allows you to work on the front wheel, forks, steering etc!

[@ronsanocki639]

I use my harbor freight engine hoist (cherry picker) and a short tow strap. With my tank removed, I lift my XR600R from the top frame to +5' AFF. The hoist is very wide and the load is skookem secure. You can rotate the bike to some degree also.

Thanks for taking the time to put this up here. I now wish I'd snagged TWO of those 1,500 lb. ATV Lifts at that Sidewalk Sale a few years ago, when they were basically giving a whole stack of them away for 90% off. I think I paid like $10 for mine just as an "impulse buy". But it's proved itself too useful as-is to cut up.

[@TheGamersRace]

You should just roll some bedliner on it. Keep it from absorbing moisture in the air or oil, and give it some texture. And itd look alot better 😛 I might make one of these down the road.

[@daveainchina]

My biggest concern on this thing is that the tie downs don't reach out far enough. I'm not sure they have enough leverage/spacing to keep the bikes upright, especially when you're tired and get a bit careless.

[@jiimpowers5078]

Princess auto here in Canada similar to harbor freight my ramp like red one in your picture is black from China came with a China accessory, it was a big 2 1/2 inch bug and 1 inch wide. My mod , I put a2 inch pipe one at each end and put a 2 by 10 front to back on each side the wood has a plastic pipe attached and slides over the pipe allowing the wood to be removed for the Yamaha v-star. But mainly used for servicing the ride on lawn mower and as a workbench dimensions are steel deck 24 maybe 26 wide and 6 ft long. The 2 x10 on each side is 19 wide total about 8 feet 46 inches wide allowing a tool and part shelf at one end joining the 2 2 x10's . Cost 300. For the hoist ( ramp ) and2 pieces of wood rest was junk around the garage. Height about 34 inches slides between the 2 garage doors .

[@usernameinvalid92987]

I use the harbor freight lift all the time and have never had an issue with it wanting to tip forward or with any instability issues at all really. It's also super easy to move around the garage as long as your garage floor is smooth concrete. It's also on sale for 25-33 percent off multiple times a year. So I only paid around $275. With all that being said, this looks like a fun project, but not necessary for my applications.

[@ShutterUp]

A couple of door hinges on the end and a reinforced plywood ramp so you don't have to screw with the load ramp. If you do it right, the ramp would fold up on the deck when you store it. I'm impressed it worked out as well as it did. I know you don't care but some liquid bed liner for the deck so it doesn't soak up fluids when maintaining your bikes. Plus it would add a little grip.

What you could do as well is when the platform is down you could have it either sit on bolts that spin down and act as feet and when the feet come up it sits on casters so you can wheel the bike around, and save some more space in the garage by storing a bike ontop of it.

[@shaunbarclay1309]

If you look at it when the bike is on the stand you can see that not all the lift touches the ground, it kind of ramps up a bit. At those bits i'd put some rubber like maybe a doorstop or something. Takes up the gap and will stop it from moving forward when you're rolling the bike on.

Jake, not taking anything away from your lift, but the HARBOR FREIGHT one is regularly on sale for $329. Mine sees Harleys each and every day, although I did do some upgrades, not needing them per say, but I'm that way. By the way, your unit wouldn't take much in the line of " side loading or deflection " , so just be careful. And a way to lock the far end, would help at the very least.

Add blocking in the middle so you can jack it up off the tires with a smaller hand jack.

[@matthewpeterson3329]

This was a seriously crude way to build a lift table, but absolutely effective, and I love it! As for critique, because I am stealing the idea, is that I would (and will) leave the original jack completely in tact, and simply extend from the base and pads with appropriate steel. Measure the hinge points center to center and build two new arms at the far end. Now you effectively have 6 arms instead of 4, a lot less cutting, and a more rigid and strong system. I also agree with the others who don't like plywood, unless you clad the top surface with something smooth like a laminate. Plywood soaks up everything you spill on it, and doesn't wipe well. Otherwise, awesome project... thanks Jake!

At 3:40ish when you are going to make a custom L bracket for the back pins I had a thought, as I also do not have a welder. Simpson Strong Tie makes a bracket they call a "DJT Deck Joist Tie," that I think might work. It has that "z" sort of shape where you could bolt one facing to the frame and the other would allow for your connection. Thanks again for the video.

[@bendooley550]

An appropriately sized piece of aluminum plate on the top should help with spillage and grease as well as add some strength, not add too much weight, and make it look professional. Use some grip tape under the wheels and you've got a safe solid platform to work with.

[@hogueraleksander5868]

Maybe I am overlooking something since I just bought my first bike 2 weeks ago and haven't done too much work on it yet, but why didn't mount the original lift over an X shape tubing and put a couple of loops to tie it the bikes down. You can lift it as much as you want, it will be 1000 times steadier sideways and forward and less bulky than what he did. And cheaper. And more room to work on stuff.
