Cafe Racer on Lift Pics Needed

Anyone got some pictures of their Cafe sitting on a lift?

We finished installing my lift this weekend.

I am going to try to get mine dialed in this weekend, and was hoping to see some other people's balance points to make sure my thinking was correct.

I have some pics of ours on the lift but my wife is naked beside it. I could post them but it would not be in my best interest.

Mine was set up for it but it still made me nervous so I always trimmed up and put it in neutral before the drives got over the lift and walked it in.

It was a bit of a pain at times but I never did hit anything and it was well worth it being able to back in and made it much easier to get on/off the boat as well as remove props for storage.
