They have always been a plastic or a plastic coating. My bike was an 03 model. Yes they looked very much like a metal material.
The wife's car goes into the empty bay.You have no room to talk!
Well ok maybe you do.
But... But... Your garage is disgustingly clean and organized.
SO THERE!
How long is the lift when it's set up just for parking?
Now i havent drilled into all of them however i have drilled into 13 st1300pas from 04 to 12 and fixing to drill into a 16. So far they have all been black plastic under some verry durable silver paint maybe even powder coating.
With ramp 9 foot 6 inches. W/O ramp 7 foot 6 inches.
This has to be one of the cleanest shops I've ever seen :thumbI agree, a Table lift is the way to go. I have been using a Harbor Freight lift with outrigger boxes for over 17 years now for many of my various bikes. The ST1300 and my present FJR 1300. Never a problem. I am also limited on space in my garage so I park my bike on the lift. The HF Lift has sure saved my back many time over.
Yeah, I'm thinking he just moved in, and hasn't got all his boxes and stuff off the truck into the garage yet.

Here is the normal configuration when the Wife's car is in the garage, and when her car is not in the garage and I need room to play.
Ah summer and winter configuration. LolHere is the normal configuration when the Wife's car is in the garage, and when her car is not in the garage and I need room to play.
Same thing happened to me, I was shocked how little room was left after we moved all our stuff into the garage
Ok, I always thought they were cast. See, you do learn something every day!
Honey, I shrunk the garage!
Is it only me, they take the time to remove the engine guard covers to access the bars but leave the saddlebags on for the lifting procedure? I get that the bags are not in the way but why would you risk it and they’re so easy to remove. I dunno…
Hi Chuck! Do you have the specs on the small side platforms that are on the sides of your HF Lift! They look like they make it a lot easier and safer to put the STeed on the lift.I agree, a Table lift is the way to go.

4 foot long x 7 inches high x 12 inches wide. You can make them as long as you want and as wide as you want. made from 2" x 8" x 8 foot pieces of lumber, topped with 3/8 inch plywood.
I made mine by ripping 2x4's in half lengthwise and using those to make a frame the size I wanted (roughly what Chuck did, only mine are roughly 7' long). Then I sheathed the frame with flake board because it was so much cheaper than plywood. I put cross braces across the top and bottom (they resembled ladders before I sheathed them, and a couple of cross braces on the sides). I assembled them using long drywall screws - everything was sourced from Hopot.
I made mine with 3/4 plywood. 30" wide x 7.5' long x about 6.5" high. I brought the cutsheet to Home Depot and had them rip all the pieces out of 2 sheets of plywood. They are 7.5' long because a full 8' would not fit in my SUV.
