Default 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.

Lifts setup for backing in drop down lower.

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.
