I am in the process of making my own single-post lift.
It` a hybrid between the Big blue (under the chassis/engine via platform) type and the Skylift using the swingarm pivots.
There`s a bit of fine-tuning/finishing left to do on it yet (before i trust it with my 20K GSA!) and when that`s done i`ll give it a lick of paint, too.
I`ve done a bit of maintenance with already and i think working on bikes `in the air` is going to be a game changer...
