    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.

    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

    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.
