ABSTRACT:
A motorcycle lift device is adapted to be fitted to any two of three wheeled motorcycle, the motorcycle lift device having an on board air compression generating device providing compressed air to a pair of air driven pistons placed within the existing front forks of the motorcycle requiring no adaptation to the motorcycle other than a replacement cap through which compressed air lines air run, connecting the pistons to the air compression generating device. The pistons are manually activated by a switch mounted in the immediate vicinity of the motorcycle hand grips, the switch activating an air compressor and a solenoid switch directing air to the air lines, extending or retracting the pistons, raising and lowering the height of the motorcycle This manual and controlled height adjustment allows the motorcycle operator to lower the height of the motorcycle at a stop for more secure footing while at rest with the depression of the switch, and raising the motorcycle to a travel height with a depression of the same switch. A computer controlled version of this device is also disclosed which raises and lowers the height of the motorcycle based upon the speed of the motorcycle.
