Welcome to the board. Sadly, I haven't the answer. You might want to dm Zook our founder. He builds trikes

Think Jack would know ?

Nope, I duno what cg is

Is cg center of gravity?

I do know 2 post electric car lifts tho. It will be tricky to get it racked on the lift without making a jig to fit the frame rails for sure, being careful around the oil pan

I have racked a lot of strange frame configurations over the years but not a H D Trike yet

Hi Eric, :welcome:to Trike Talk

Does cg = center of gravity?

If it does, you will find the balance point should be about center of the derby cover

You will need to fashion some lift blocks to rack it on your lift. Be careful of the oil pan between the frame rails

Believe that's what he was implying. He's going to have a rig that can lift the rear wheels at the same time. It would be risky not to.

Thx for the input. Will figure it out and post pic when done.

Cg

It is center of gravity or balance point.

Being my front lift arms are shorter than the rears , I back it up . Made a square box of 2x8’s and 3/4 plywood .

However it was very heavy to move , dangerous, and just not worth the aggravation. The wheels did not hang .

I now use a Atlas 1500lb motorcycle/ATV lift . I can sit on my roller stool and do what I need to .

The post lift idea was given up . Just wasn’t to be , for me . Be safe !
