i have seen a lift/ramp setup on the cat walk on a couple of trucks that hold a mediun sized motorcycle over the last few years. am now in a position to bring my sportster on the road with me. does anyone know of a link or phone number where i can get any info regarding those wonderful contraptions? i spend most of my time out and would like to use my scoot when i get those long layovers.

something like this.....?

If you'd just swallow a little pride you wouldn't need a lift... :lol:

Chopperbob, let me know if you find anything that works for sure. I checked out several over the past couple of years (even went to their factory) that advertise but none would raise it high enough to go over the tanks. I have a fully restored CHP Fat Boy that I would like to ride around. I didn't check this one yet but it looks like it might work .
