Dan are you asking if a standard bike lift work for a Super Magna?  If this is the question then the answer would be no unless you make an adapter or such.  
The exhaust headers run inside and below the frame of the Supers, thus you need standoffs to reach up to the frame rails to lift a Super.

What I figured, does any one have picks of what one would look like? I've seen the one for the V65 and in the process of making it, plywood and 2 x4.  
I just got one of those larkin bike lifts and want to change the front springs in the forks and change fliud.

Thanks

Dan I dont have PICs, but it would be simple, you basically need 2 runners with standoffs reaching the frame rails.  Then simply connect these runners so the lift can lift them equally.
