I picked up one of these last summer:

Works great on my R11S, but I think I'm going to need some kind of bracket to allow me to lift the bandit with it. Does anyone know of such a thing? I know that I've seen this same lift design sold with several different brand names on it, and I'm pretty sure Craftsman doesn't offer any model-specific accessories.

I've got the same unit. I haven't used it on the bandit yet but I use 2 short 2x4's under the frame to lift a katana. Should work the same for the bandit.

the ol bike lifts....when I was living there someone told me that the lifts were made in town...now for the life of me I cant remember where at. they are all the same lift. just paying the brand name I guess cause they make em for almost everyone.

I think I actually may try to go and find out who's putting them together up there. Should be a nice weekend ride. My dad is from Marshalltown, so maybe he'd have an idea. hopefully I'll have something to report back :)
