Hello Friends,

Does anyone know if a regular motorcycle lift like this one, Bike Lift, will work with an R18 B?

From the thread I saw it looks like you might also need this adapter?? I'd like to get a setup, so I can do my own maintenance on the easy stuff, as I hope to put lots of miles on the bike and have it for a long time. Thanks for any feedback.
 
I haven't researched the aftermarket yet so cannot comment on them, but...

I checked with the shop ay my dealer and was shown the aux stand the dealer uses, from BMW. It's a pretty sturdy stand and requires the model-specific adaptor plate (TC, in my case). I was quoted US$550 for it

Can I see a picture of your lift? Please
 
Ok, here you go, it shows my Victory on the lift for a clutch cable maintenance and rear tire replacement. A dandy easy to use lift that is safe and a delight to own, made in the UK !! I have more and better images but the drive is not in my computer right now.... James

I found it after buying the big Victory. Sold by Donald Willick in Canada... Very fine unit sturdy, high quality it will last a lifetime and so easy to use.... jp
 
I have just spent some time cleaning my R18 and find on inspection the frame is above the Exhaust system, leaving me facing a problem, can I trust the engine case to support the weight of the bike ? were that the case, I could build a wooden spacer to sit on my Big Blue and just lift it like I did the Indian and Victory, without checking, I would be very reluctant to lift a heavy bike like this with the engine as a contact point ? Please give me your thoughts on this, I do love using my Big Blue lift... jp

Just a quick FYI on 83305A24474: If you have changed out the exhaust system for a third party (eg Freedom Performance) that does not incorporate the hanger bosses ... it will not work.
