Which one do you use to pull the Bushtec?

I pull it with my Softail. Picked the Bushtec up in Sturgis. They don't make a hitch for a Dyna unless you go to their home shop and have one custom made.

Check with hitchdoc. They may have a hitch mount for the bushtec receiver. I've had hitchdoc hitches on all my bikes I've towed with. They make a really nice hitch.

my mx garage bike isn't so clean now

 

[jhsledhed]

Here is my new lift and updated cabinets.

 

[RbrtAWhyt]

Nice bike! You've got some bucks sunk in that FLH...

 

[zmotorsports]

Not to hijack-at least too much
How many have motorcycle tables, and what kind are you using?

We have an older Handy and a Cycle-Pro. My son calls our Handy the project table as it is where are long term projects usually reside. Our Cycle-Pro is what he calls the express lane because it is usually where the quick in and out jobs end up. Personally I like the build quality of the Handy much more but the size of the Cycle-Pro is better suited for the ATVs and snowmobiles. I know Handy now makes a larger table that is more the size of the Cycle-Pro but can't justify it currently.

I would really like to get that new Ranger eventually. I think in a few months I am going to put my Cycle-Pro up for sale and invest in the Ranger RML750HD lift table. Mike.

Nice looking ride Brother!!!!!!!

Here's a fall back view of my Garage... added the lift a few day later. It's certainly a work in progress... here are some of my latest photos.

Thanks! Ya they are money pits! Just about got it where I want it. Only took 4 years!
USMCBay, I like yours too, I like seeing the updates on your cave!

Here is mine always a work in progress. It was half painted when I moved in. Havn't gotten around to painting the other half yet. (its been 6 years)

I have another workbench storage and tool boxes not pictured.

 

[NotSafe]

building mine as we speak, pictures comming soon

 

[Punisher]

Made another elevated work station. Didn't have the cash for another Handy lift and don't really need two that can be raised and lowered. Anyway here is the photo.

Looks good man. How tall did you make the work station?

 

[Phoenixfz]

Hot damn. Nice handy lift (?), and heavy-duty No-mar tire changer.

...and a BMW...

Do you wear Rukka, too?

...what are the trophies for?

Possession is 9/10's of the law

Looks good man. How tall did you make the work station?

Its The 4x4 legs are 23" tall and I have 1" of plywood on top of that. I think once the weather gets nice I'm going to paint it gray to match the other lift, which goes up a bit taller. The wood stand is really for my Supermoto which I tend to mostly just do tire changes, valve adjustments and oil. All its support gear for the track stores nicely under the stand.

 

[1chicken]

Great to see more supermotos!

 

[pixelmonkey]

a bit more paint on the cabinets... almost complete.

and the supermoto is leaving me sometime this week.

I come here to get away from CLSB.

Me too but finding out there are some of us on here makes me want to escape back to the Jockey Journal.

 

[octavio3311]

Here's my 2!

 

[Smilodon]

Loving this thread...

Hmmm... A little outclassed by many of the posts here (bikes and garage), but I'll still give it a shot...

After failing to find the time again and again to finish/insulate my garage (particularly the motorcycle part), I was planning on a re-org, so I did one large wall while I was moving benches and such around. So, it's a start. The pictures are after the re-org and single wall insulation...

The cleanest it's been in a while...

Looking back at the "parts department"

Another angle

The compressor/clean-up area

Oddly enough, we all strive to have the greatest finished product, but I have found the most enjoyment is in the getting there. Once things are done, well, what do you do now? First time I came to this realization was when I built an '82 mustang street/strip car. After it was done, (3 years later) I lost interest and discovered the greatest enjoyment was working towards the final goal. So enjoy your times organizing and improving one wall at a time.

Amen. I took 3 yrs putting this bike together and as much as I like the finished product, I'm bored......time for something different

 

[Smilodon]

True... Not to mention that working on the garage takes time away from working on the things in the garage, so you gotta balance that too!

 

[Captain]

I finally got rid of a couple of project cars that I didn't get to for 10yrs, so now have a dedicated motorcycle shop. (And room for more bikes!)
The Ranger lift is an excellent addition.

Bikes:
'10 Buell XB12R
'09 HD Nightster
'97 Yamaha SRV250J "Renaissa"
'72 Yamaha L2G 100
'82 Yamaha SA50 "Passola"

One photo inside an aussie's shed.

Just a few quick dodgy snaps of the inside of my shed.
You fella's have your garages, & we mainly have sheds.
The TY 250 is a 1985 model, the GSXR 750 is a 1989, & the GS 1200 is a 2004.
The GS is the only one actually ridden regularly, the TY rarely, & the GSXR never these days.
It's a sentimental keeper from my past that one day might get a few dollars spent & hit the road again.
My main work bench is made from some old pallet racking.
After cutting one end off each horizontal spar, shortening & re-welding the male ends on, it is perfect for the shed, they were originally 3050mm long.
The shed is 9.2m x 7.6m, but this length allows for the bench to be positioned in a few different spots, between the columns, as future changes may dictate.
It still locked together as it did originally, but for piece of mind I added some bolts at each join.
For the bench top I bought some form ply 17mm thick, cut 2 sheets, screwed & glued them together, then got some 1.6mm zinc-anneal folded up with a splashback.
The bench top is 2200mm long, 900mm wide, 950mm high & solid.
Perfect for me.
I got some left over hardwood decking for free, so the shelf worked out well.
You Americans might be scratching your heads with mm, but there's roughly 300mm to 1 foot, or to be precise, 25.4 mm to the inch, or 40 thou" to 1 mm.
I'm a Fitter & Turner, what you guys term as a Millwright.No doubt the Millwright's will be conversant with the conversion.

Nice bike TRWTOW. The CVO's are always good looking bikes, but they really did an exceptional job with the Street Glide

Thanks... Sorry I haven't checked this site in a while. I was drinking in my garage, passed out and woke up with a beard!!! Just kiddin' I need to find a sand blaster so I can finish my HD Coke Machine. Hooked the phone up tonight but have to get it mounted, need to get to Lowes to get the Water Drink Fountain plumbed in with an inline filter. Fun but time is something I lack now that were busy again...
