Cafe Racer Garage What is the length of the lift when folded down? Planning on building one of my own but have limited room. Thank you!

[@rexmericle5068]

I could not stop watching all three videos and I can't thank you enough! This is exactly what I'm planning on fabricating, using the same hydraulic motorcycle lift. I've done some brain searching on how to do it but haven't started yet. One thing I didn't think about was that three step lock bar at the rear. GREAT idea that I will be adding to my build. As far as those "extra" holes from a miscalculation, I wouldn't worry. I recently built an engine stand for my CX Hondas and, thanks to "cutting an inch" and forgetting I did that, I have two spares myself! :) One thing that really made me smile was when you rolled your bike on to the lift. Why? Because the bike I'm building mine for is a 1984 Nighthawk. Anyway, this is a great build brother and your videos are excellent! Cheers from North Carolina!

[@cambobby2011]

Nice built. Tks for ALL your patience for doing this video, cause I wouldn't have that patience myself… LOL I'm looking for ideas here to build mine soon. Tks again.

[@V8SKULLS]

Freaking beautiful brother, it’s very nice to see your vision come to life in your finished product. Just beautiful work.keep up the awesome job. God Bless and take care

hsntrkmn türkiye im super happy it helped you :) Thank you for the nice comment brother

[@richhemmings]

Subbed to you about a year ago on a 'basic tools' vid. Congrats on the 100k didn't know you'd *built* this! Looks professional - some great ideas in there. I think I'd use two legs to catch the back and I'd want a more centralised jack but can see why this wouldn't have worked for this conversion! Great stuff. Big fan of the channel 👍

[@peterk2455]

Good job on adapting that bike lift. I would add one thing to anyone building something similar. Watch the height to width, with some bikes if you are working on them, say using a cheater bar, you could start a toppling movement. Seen it happen with one home build lift.

[@race-all]

That's the best conversion I've seen yet.

[@MnktoDave]

You did an awesome job building that, it turned out great. And that's a sweet bike! I enjoyed the whole series, thank you.

[@dylcar]

Stellar series man!

[@waltermansilla7559]

Excelente trabajo!!

[@rustybum2]

What an excellent series! I have several project bikes to work on and have just the same (useless) red lift you started with so I'll certainly try and copy what you have made. Many thaqnks from an OLD Yorkshire "Geezer" in Ireland.

[@gtonline7]

Great job mate, great build..

[@duanetrinklejr4177]

Nice job!!!

[@turbogrin]

Nice job! and I like the Benny Hill background music !

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you Larry, I hope you turn up the music when you build yours lol :)

[@mathewbrown5989]

Very cool Dan, thanks for sending the link. I love the skill (or desire to learn ;-) and ingenuity you have in your videos.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Mathew Brown Wow Mathew that’s an amazing comment and thank you 😊

[@Luczr270]

Very good. I enjoyed the whole series. Would love to have your talent !

[@jarosawkierzek8750]

Fajny stół moto .

[@chopperhehehe]

Cracking job 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🦄😁✌️🤞

[@seansysig]

Weld 2 stub tube legs at rear so the table is level in down position which will eliminate the need for the second jack.

[@ct026]

Top job right there. Simple and effective. Did you go back and weld on some stops to sort the initial lift issue?

[@purpleguy2159]

Nice Job! You have a bit of talent there!

[@omgitsGoDzOwN]

Very cool mate. Love it

[@CafeRacerGarage]

GoDz OwN thank you 😊 I hope it was helpful for you :)

[@ClatoTom]

The bike lift has become really good. I could have welded a second strut to the spot where the lift meets the crossbar. After all, are high forces acting on the strut when pumping up.

[@MayoungPunte]

Wow. You are like a cool uncle showing kids cool stuff. Big Likes and subscribe from me. keep doing a good work man.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

T Phas wow that is an amazing comment. Thank you so much 😊

[@captainover-tighten6729]

Top shelf! Thank you!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Horatio Delmont thank you for your kind words, I hope this video is helpful, if you have any questions just ask :)

[@johnmccallum8487]

Great vids mate, you done a fantastic job there

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you so much John, Are you building one yourself? what kind of bike do you have ?

[@johnmccallum8487]

Hi Mate , I will be making one ( following your vid ) 😁 I ride a harley 72 and a trike also got a little 125 I run around on , Mate the top of the table is that an old kitchen worktop ? If so you going to be putting a metal plate on top ? Cheers John

[@CafeRacerGarage]

John McCallum the 72 sounds nice but I bet they are all fun to ride. The black top was from my local hardware shop and it's used for formwork (form Ply) when pouring concrete. It's great for stuff like this but it wasn't fun to cut on my table saw. It binds up due to the glue that is used in between the ply layers. Hope that helps John.

[@DifferentRides]

well done mate!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you for the kind words Nuno :)

[@EarthToSean]

Very cool design!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate, I think it took way longer than it would normally but that was partly due to filming the process :) Are you going to build one for yourself?

[@TRRILCS]

I think the reason you had to jack the trailing end of your lift. That is the problem with scissor lifts, when they are down flat the force is pulling the end too straight. Automotive hoists and other such devices are designed with a cam in then to get the lift started up and then the parallogram is able to function

[@stevereckert208]

Very cool. Good work 👍

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Steve reckert thank you mate. This what the first 3 videos that got it all started, my video, audio and lighting have all been updated since then. I hope the changes are noticeable. Thank you again for the kind words brother 😊

[@CHIBA280CRV]

I was just thinking the same build in my mind during the week ironically! How could I incorporate my bike jack ,and contemplated if it will work ? I run into your video and said to myself , there is always someone who have already thought about it and done it ! Sure enough there she is. I'm glad to see you have done it and it lets me know , I was not going to be able to build it , so I will wait till I can run into a used unit for sale 😂 Lol. Thanks

[@CafeRacerGarage]

JOGO that’s is a very cool comment and I enjoy you sharing that with me, It’s nice to know my videos are getting seen by amazing guys like yourself. I hope you get the components you need cheap so that you can give it ago. If you have any questions just ask :) it’s been well over 12 months now and it still going strong

[@garya3056]

Nicely done 👍

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Gary A thank you Gary :)

[@17405pop]

Good job!

[@ChrisS5416]

Genius

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Christopher Stevenson thank you mate. It’s been over 12months now and it’s still going strong. I wouldn’t change a thing if I was to build another one :) 👍

[@กมลอินถา]

นายก่งมาก ชื่นชมครับ

[@CafeRacerGarage]

คุณยินดีเป็นอย่างยิ่งที่เพื่อนของฉัน :)

[@Corndogtrip6s]

Man this is great!!!! I love it! If I still had my sport bike or even sportster I’d totally copy you but I’m afraid my Dyna might be to heavy? Do you know about how much weight your table will hold? How how much does your bike weigh

[@27417123]

Super

[@esmiley3]

Impressive video! I need to buy some tools!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Eugene Smiley thank you mate, have you seen my other videos?

[@esmiley3]

I will start the rebuild series for your bike

[@esmiley3]

Looking at “how to weld” videos now

[@styxstudio949]

Nice work🤘🏻

[@tomprudhomme1032]

I'm gonna build one now!!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

That's awesome Tom, I'm so glad I inspired you :)

[@2781prezes]

Dobra robota :)

[@jimorprecio462]

What is the dimension of the top platform frame - Width and Length? Thanks

[@manoskamenakis2611]

nice job!

[@nickhildabridle1612]

Nice job

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you so much Nick :)

[@Irwantonugraha]

God job bro 😎

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Irwanto Nugraha thank you mate. Any questions just ask :)

[@Irwantonugraha]

Okey bro, thank's. Keep going your channel, i'm support 😎

[@arokax]

nice !!!!

[@ma4veric]

Nice one - def going to build my own. Liked the detail on your thought process, anything you would change now you have been using it for a while?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you for the comment David, No i wouldn't change a thing, I love it :)

[@freddysgarage7466]

Do you think it is also possible and stable enough to do this build with wood?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

FreddysGarage wood can be very strong so it’s definitely possible:)

[@hectorjauregui3404]

What size is the metal tubing

[@CafeRacerGarage]

I did mention it in one of the 3 videos but from memory I think 75mm x 25mm and 3mm wall thickness

[@DylonDylonDylon]

What was the total cost of materials for this lift?

[@samnorth9413]

What type of jack is that?

[@johnDukemaster]

Did you experience the same without the bike? I'm thinking the weight might have something to do with it. :-) Nice work, indeed. Clever you!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Yes I think you are right mate, Its a lot easier without the bike on it :)
