Some of the cheaper lifts have brittle bolts put on them. They can sheer.
lifting by the oilpan is no problem. But it does make accessing the oil pan
(removal) rather problematic.

I would rather find some way to roll the bike onto a platform and raise the
whole mess. then you get to use tie downs to stabilize the whole shebang
while you wrench. I'd have to get enthused with the bike and have the while
thing go over because a sheap bolt sheared or it overbalanced on that tiny
pillar.

I saw a lift at Northern Tools for $150. Looked decent and felt stable.
Is it OK to lift a loopframe by the oil pan? This is where most lifts I've
seen would hit. I guess a bit of customizing would be in order to make it
work safely.

I don't recall the link. The one I did see was a box with one end cut at
an
angle so that the table pivots. SO you still have to roll the bike up the
lift. Take some long arms and a good back to do that without making a
bigger
mess of the bike and yourself.

If you have a garage structure that will support it you could make a chain
hoist lift. Like I did. probably cost about 200 in materials. I bet if you
get creative you can come up with a way to use an engine hoist.

I can't remember what list I saw it on but someone had a link to a build
it yourself wooden bike lift. Did anyone bookmark it? If so, could you
repost the link?
