G'day all.
Now that my bike is reaching the stage that will require some transporting to and from the exhaust shop, engineering certification and registration visits, I am seriously considering purchasing a pair of ramps to make loading the bike onto my truck less difficult.

My biggest concern is that the edge of the rear of my F-100 is actually slightly taller (960mm) than the maximum height of 840mm that the product is designed for.
I was wondering if I either lengthened or added suitable packing beneath the leg supports I am able to safely use them? My gut feeling is that I should be able to get away with them if I take these precautions. I actually wish to use one of the ramps to walk upon, whilst the second will be used for the bike. This should help with the balancing act and let me do this task on my own.
If I'm asking for a bundle of trouble, please let me know before I drop some cash on them.
Perhaps you gents might have a simple and elegant solution I could consider as an alternative?
At the price that they are selling them at, they do seem to be pretty good value for money.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Steve
