- to do THE REPAIR on my bike i just screwed 2 2x10's together
- wiggled them between the roof supports, covered it with
- carpet in the middle, throw a chain over the carpeted area
- and hook a come-along to the chain....instant bike hoist for
- about $30. with a bit of re-enforcement it could even hold a
- goldwing (ie the chain and 2x10 not the come-along). at some
- point further in the repairs i intend to get another one for
- the front end.
