Raising CB1100 onto centerstand

[White Dog_imp]

Somewhere I read a post where someone was having difficulty raising a CB1100 onto the centerstand. I was too, but placing a 1" thick board under the rear tire changes the pivot point and raising the cycle is so much easier. I took an old piece of scrap lumber and cut about a 60° angle to better roll the rear tire onto the board.

I got this idea from the Goldwing forum this morning and tried it on both my Goldwing and the CB1100. I had previously ordered the "EZ-LIFT" for the Goldwing, but since the dimensions of the centerstand are so close, it might fit the CB1100. I'll sure give it a try, as I currently find the Goldwing easier to lift up than the CB1100.

Having both knees replaced in 2011 at the same time, I do not want to do anything that would do damage to my knees, thus the purchase of the EZ-LIFT.
