If you have a rollaround floor jack type bike lift like mine, I had a
welder friend make me a cradle that rests ontop/across the lifting part
of the jack. The cradle is square, the same width as the frame. on each
corner is a U-shaped holder that fits the Guzzi frame. This lifts the
bike using the frame, and not the beloved engine. MUCH sturdier/safer.
Just a little garage ingenuity!
