 +This is actually a car jack meant to lift under the rocker box seam. \\
 +The one below was trimmed a little with a piece of box section tubing welded on it and fabricated cradles. \\
 The cradles come off (aside from adjusting) and you can use a wood pad that can sit on the crossbar.

 +Comments from XLFORUM member decman. ((http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​p=5816759#​post5816759)) \\ 
 +Love the lift but the side extension are a pain to put on and take off. \\ 
 +I love them on when putting the bike on the lift but they get in the way of getting close to the bike when it is up in the air. \\ 
 +So I came up with this mod. Got some heavy duty hinges and mounted to the sides. \\ 
 +Also cut the long support pipe in half so I can put only one side down if I like. \\ 
 + 
 +Weaver lift modded with hinges added to the sides for fold down ability. \\
