I've got the following motorcycle related items for sale in Austin, TX.
I'm open to offers on these. I'm located in southwest Austin and you'll
need to pick these up as I am not willing to ship them at this time.

Thanks,
Allen


- Folding aluminum loading ramp. This is a very nice ramp for loading a
motorcycle into the bed of a pickup truck. I believe the brand is Better
Built. It's about 7 ft long unfolded and about half that folded. I
bought it from JC Whitney about 2 years ago for $125. Asking $75.

- 8' wooden loading ramp with ramp kit ends and angle iron
reinforcement. This is a ramp I built before I got the folding one
above. It is made from an 8' 2" x 10" slab of lumber and has two angle
iron segments bolted on the bottom for extra strength. It has aluminum
piece on either end to facilitate using it as a ramp (one piece provides
a "lip" that sits on the tailgate, the other provides a smooth
transition from ground to ramp). It's been stored in my garage so has
not be exposed to the elements. Asking $40 and I'll throw in the other
ramp end pieces so you could build a second ramp if you like.

- JC Whitney lever type bead breaker. This is an excellent piece of
equipment for breaking the bead on motorcycle tires so you can change
your own tires. This is not one of those wimpy clamp type bead breakers
that you put on a tire and tighten with a wrench. This thing can even
break the bead on a car tire. Virtually no limit on motorcycle wheel
width that it can handle. Asking $40.

- Spec III motorcycle wheel balancing stand. A stand to do gravity
balancing on motorcycle wheels. Works like a charm. These things were
going for $150 when I bought it about 3 years ago. I balanced many
wheels on this thing before I quit riding. I'm not sure it will work
with off road wheels, but works like a charm with street bike wheels.
Wheel balance was always a problem for me on my sportbikes. A problem
that usually showed up at the worst times (high speed sweepers for
instance). Once I started balancing my own wheels my problem was solved.
Asking $100 and I will throw in all the stick on wheel weights that I
have.
