You're using what looks like a $3k welding table as your motorcycle lift.  I love it :)

I would really love to go EFI on my project, I hate carbs and could tune up the EFI in an afternoon.

 I wondered if the fuel rail would clear the frame, I'm imagining doing this style of efi on a big bore 750.
