1974 XS/TX650 rebuild

[olderdan]

I have a similar fixed rolling bench for building motorcycles, the problem of mounting and dismounting was solved by the use of a cheap electric winch which rides on a scaffold pole. Rated at 250 klilo it will easily lift a complete machine on and of, once you get used to a motorcycle dangling four foot in the air from webbing straps. Like you I no longer ride for health reasons but I still get a lot of pleasure from restoring, (mostly old british iron).
You are doing a great job on that XS/TX650.
