Abstract
A motorcycle frame rack enables a motorcycle frame to be repaired without removing many components from the motorcycle. A motorcycle is positioned on the motorcycle frame rack, secured in place and then the frame is adjusted using chains coupled to towers. A self-centering laser measuring system is able to be used to analyze and measure damage to the motorcycle frame.
Claims26
A self-centering laser measuring device for measuring a motorcycle frame comprising:
- a. a central component with a laser;
- b. a plurality of side components;
- and
- c. one or more coupling mechanisms for coupling the plurality of side components with the central component, wherein the plurality of side components move equidistantly towards or away from the central component, wherein a motor contained within the central component ensures the plurality of side components move equidistantly towards or away from the central component.
