    Motorcycle lift from a 2 post lift...

    I am no engineer, but i know my two-post lift manual says never load less than all 4 arms. I know bikes are light (I have 4 2 wheeled contraptions and 3 atv's!), but those cruiser bikes aren't that light, plus the steel tubing of your bracket. I just wonder if being so out of balance would...
