The Rune does not have adequate
"ground clearance" for a Larin lift to slide beneath the
bike. Let alone, with a lift adapter. The Rune's
engine case (bottom) has a "keel" shape to it, so it will not
sit "flat" on a lift (without an adapter). So... you
either need to obtain a "shorter" decked lift for your Rune,
or roll the bike up onto some pieces of 2" x 8" boards (as
well as placing the side stand on a third piece) to obtain the
needed clearance for the lift/adapter to slide beneath the
bike's engine.
I made a lift adapter for the Rune
from the following pieces of lumber I had layin'
around:
3/4" plywood: 26" long x 8.5"
wide
3/4" dimensional wood board, cut to
size... then glued/nailed to the plywood base.
Note... the rear (vertical) supports
can be made from 2" x 2" lumber, but the pieces of 3/4"
allowed me to nail them to the brace and the second layer to
the first one for added strength.
Below... you see the completed lift
adapter. The right side cradles the front part of the
engine's case, the left side cradles the pivot for the rear
shock (beneath the bike).
The front additions provide support
for either side of the engine case (from center), as the
center of the case has a "keel" affect. I cut them on
the table saw with a 1" width. The board was 3/4" in
thickness. The pic details the "length" of the
addition. BTW... they are "flush" with the front edge of
the base, and just appear to extend beyond the front
edge.
The pic below details the overall
"width" of the adapter's base, as well as the distance of the
front addition in relation to the edge of the
base.
The rear addition is "centered" on
the board. Components of the rear addition are the
"vertical supports", "center section brace", and "overall
brace". The "vertical supports are 1 1/8" in height, and
consist of 02ea pieces of 3/4" stock which are 1 1/2" in width
and "laminated" independantly to the "overall brace" as
well as being glued to the base. The "center section
brace" is located BETWEEN the two "vertical supports" and is
glued/nailed to the base, as well as being glued to the sides
of the "vertical supports. The "overall
brace stands 01" high and is 5" in length. The
"center section brace" is layed down so as to be 3/4"
tall and 1" wide.
