Dario,

Attached are some pics that I took during the "incident".   My diff blew up and the tow truck backed the rig (with motorcycle / lift) into a light post.  Pretty much 2x worse than my imagination could have come up with.  Anyway...here are some pics.

If you go with Hydralift, you will have to cut on the engine door.  Note the notch cut out of mine in pics.  Later installations done by Newell are much cleaner.  They figured out that you only need to cut a slot on each side for the supports.

Thanks for the pictures. Ouch! I can't believe he backed into a light post. Looks like it damaged the lift but not the bike, that's good. I went ahead and purchased a like new Overbuilt yesterday but right after I did a guy called me about his 2016 Hydralift. He will be back in So Fla in a week, so I have decided to not install the Overbuilt until after I have a chance to see the Hydralift, it's still under warranty. If you want to remove the lift does it come off easily or is it a one piece unit? I do see where the two slits could be cut in easily to allow for the mounting brackets instead of cutting from frame to frame on the lower panel.
By the way, I really love your GS and have always wanted one but my legs are just to short for the seat height. I have a 99, R1100RT that I have had since new as well as a 08 HD Ultra Classic. I will probably travel with the BMW
Thanks and Happy New Year
