Homemade stand??

(1/6) > >>

motoxjustin:
Anyone ever made a stand at home out of wood or anything?  If you have and it worked good could you share the plans?

Timbowe:
What like a workbench type of stand? Or an under engine cradle jack type?

Johnniespeed:
I made an adapter that fits on my floor jack that fits the bottom of my KX500 perfectly. I can jack up the bike to work on it and it balances great.
  Is that the type of stand you are talking about?

motoxjustin:
I think I'm going to go with the floor jack idea, I'll look at what I got and try to make something work.  Just trying to save a couple bucks. A stand is like almost a hundred bucks new and this sport is already expensive, I'ld rather spend the money on the motor but that five gallon bucket with a board screwed to the top ain't getting it, too unstable. Thanks for the idea.

click on tech tips, then on foot stand. It shows you how to build one, but it does require a welder. I also use a cheap mechanic's stool from harbor freight $15 with a 2X6 on the top. It comes in handy in my shed because you can roll the bike sideways

hope it helps
