Using an adaptor for hydraulic bike lifts

I have designed an adaptor that allows an SV to be jacked via hydraulic bike/atv lifts. This is really the proper way to do heavy maintenance and takes only minutes to attach. I got my lift at sam's for $99.00 (looks better than some at $350.00). If list will allow, I will post pics and drawing. If not, request same at bnoel@fgn.net. I could make and sell them like the mags (about$50.00) but the weight makes shipping expensive, they are steel. If you have access to a welder, it is not difficult. I can advise all shortcuts. It really makes a difference having the right tool. I can get bike several feet off the ground, no bending over! Makes carb work nicer.
