    Well i bought my new repco bike lift today after hearing all the good recommendations on the forum.  But now i need to know has anyone installed a lowering kit on their bike and used this lift to take the rear shocks out?  I'm gunna fit my lowering kit sometime next month but when i look under the bike the lift pretty much sit smack bang right where my shocks are.  How the hell do I lift the bike to undo the rear shocks with the bloody lift in the way?

    I asume there must be someone who has fitted one of these basic lowering kits before so whats the trick?

    Problem solved!!! You can fit the lift as far forward as possible on the frame and tie the bike down. This gives you JUST enough room to get to all the bolts and remove shocks. Thanks anyway.
