Motorcycle Lift Conversion, Foot to Air

I converted my inexpensive motorcycle platform lift from "foot power" to "air over hydraulic". This is a GREAT conversion that makes raising and lowering your motorcycle very easy.

I wrote a word doc with all the how toos and sources for the various parts needed.

Email me to request a copy... rvb100@comcast.net

Here's a quick video

Is your compressor powered by a steam engine?

Interesting conversion - I had given doing the same thing some thought if I ended up with that style lift. Nice work

speaking of lifts Harbor freight has a good pump one and one you hook up to your compressor for pretty cheap. 299 for the pump one and 399 for the compressor

A LOT faster and A LOT easier...............

But in my case, with mounting the lift in the floor, it wasn't convienient to use the foot pump.
