Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

I just bought one Friday for the $299 price and set it up in my garage. The only negative so far is the diamond plate doesn't give much traction. So I'm thinking of spraying some Rino bed liner on it. That sounds like a good option. I ride my /2 onto the lift with enough momentum to hit the stop; ne...

The Harbor Freight lift is quite stable and a great value with a 1000lb capacity. First thing I had to do was to go to Ace Hardware and get some hydraulic oil to top up the jack. Next thing was adding a couple more U-bolt tie down points. It lifts my R1200GSA just fine to sit on a stool and adjust t...
