Speedmaster Ground Clearance

@dilligaf

 

That's correct dilligaf has a speedmaster and can answer your question but give it a while, its a weekend and he normally gives some time to Mr Jack Daniels.

 

Be careful With what lift you buy
The one I got collapsed the first time I went to use it and I nearly dropped my brand new bike off the bench
I would recommend a paddock stand instead
It’s very tight underneath the 2018 Speedmaster and I had to take the frame cups off the lift and fix them in place

 

This is the offending article
It’s a piece of shit and I can’t recommend it at all
The winding nut at the front sheared off just as the back wheel was lifting
I got my money back and managed to get it fixed but I still don’t trust it and wouldn’t leave the bike on any more than necessary
It’s

 

It was a jungle drum mate

 

About 4” judging by the blockwork!

 

Reference dilli’s reply about tight fit and re-affixing frame cups. Compare height of lift with the BLOCKWORK it is sitting on. There is a soldier course (vertical) of kerb blocks which are a standard size of 10 per metre i.e. 10cm each which is approx 4”.........

 

Got my bike strapped to the work bench/lift at the moment so popped back in the garage to measure it for you
And @Callumity is right it’s 4” with the bike held upright
Bear in mind though that with the bike on it’s side stand the left will be lower and the right will be higher
Dunno if this will affect you getting your lift underneath or not

 

If the lift doesn’t fit, you could try digging a shallow hole beneath the bike and pop the jack into that...

Or fill the tyres with helium.

Sorry, I am bored and on morphine. I probably ought to stop adding replies for a while

 

Just had a look on YouTube
Yeah it looks like a good idea
If you get one and it works (it should) let us know if you like it and I might get one depending on price

 

I put a wood block under the side stand to get the bike upright and my bike lift slides under nicely.......
