Finally brought one yesterday, for years I've used the scissor jack to lift one end or the other as I needed when cleaning, pain in the arse.
Is the lifting area wide enough for a Tourer? looks a bit narrow.
Nice mate, you are obviously a very cluey sort of bloke, would not of mattered if you had a patent either, corporations just ride over the top of you, a couple of bike enthusiasts in America, one in the states the other in Canada designed the latest Harley compensator oiling set up that pretty much solved the gawling problem that plagued them, Harley just copied it and moved on, they were even making and selling them prior to Harley adopting the design.
Thanks for the comments GM.
Pat Pending (prior to patent being registered) is usually the first step and can last a few years, with a correctly executed patent for those that are in the know Patents can be tricky, you need to cover every possible option of the design concept.
I used the proper grade bolts/pins to withstand loads and durability unlike the knock off's, Grade 4.8 bolts used on the SCA lifts are too soft for my liking.
