So.... I decided to 'suds up' the Black Witch, and give her nooks & crannies a right seein' to....

    Having just acquired the big arsed witch, I wanted to give her some TLC
    checking with a mate who gave the thumbs up on these cheapish bike lifts, I checked that the rests were wide enough for the frame on the 18 Fatgirl and delved into my pocket for the folding and bought the one from Supercheap.....
    I really wanted to get her skirts in the air if I was gunna keep those polished Lakester rims looking good.
    Needless to say, imagine my consternation, the language, and the blue air (Grrr) when I found that the damn lift wont go under her hem (wink)
    misses out by a smidgeon Dammit!.... even if holding her completely upright.
    Anyways, short story long......
    I slid a caravan leveller ramp under the front hoop, rolled her forward and up one step,
    put a 40mm plinth (read. block of wood) under the sidestand to make her sit more upright and the lift went under easy-peasy.....
    simple to take the weight without too much 'heart in the mouth' rocking about......... and the same when returning her to earth. :) 

    So.......... If you get the new generation Fatboy, maybe keep it in mind
    (hope this is of help to someone)
