Makes it so much nicer not leaning over the fender and grill as much. Matter of fact I bolt all kinds of stuff to my motor before taking it off the stand, my back thanks me. All possible with a carb lifting plate. Congrats for getting back on it!! Oh yea, put the stocker valve covers back on instead of the moroso's. I know you didn't ask for my opinion, but you got it anyway. lol
