I recently purchased an ’07 V Star 650 Classic, and now I’m searching
for a way to lift it so that I can work on it. Which is especially
challenging since the motor extends below the frame.
I have a K&L mc550, but would need an adapter; which doesn’t exist. I
found the Pit Bull, and they make an adapter. I’m currently trying to
determine if the Pit Bull V Star 650 adapter would work with the K&L
mc550 or not.
How do other V Star 650 owners lift their bike?
Which product would you recommend?
Thanks, James.

krafen had a good bike lift on sale for $45. i've used it on everything up to
and including a real pig dresser.
on some oddball racers i had to use wood bits to make a cradle, but nothing
took more than 5 minutes. don't be a chump and spen huge money on a bike lift.
