Homemade stand??

[kiwikx500]

poor mans version - car scissor jack with timber and a tie down around the handle bars to the rafters so the beast does not hit the deck if knocked

In the dirt bike mags they sell the tall milk crates made to hold dirt bikes for less than 20.00 bucks .

I threw one together out of scrap wood - works great but I think I will try to modify and old siccor jack as mentioed before.  Weld up a base and a top and see how it works

I use a five gallon bucket with the lid on - I can also put tool, gloves, oil.... in it.  Why spend a ton on money.

an old keg works good for mini's, gets them just as high as bling bling mini stands.
best part you can use it as a core if you get thirsty

an old igloo or coleman ice chest works pretty good

I made my own stand this past weekend.  Just needs a coat of paint and maybe some kind of pad for the top.

thats one hell of a job. what that cost u to make?

[grumpy]

I made this out of leftover closet rod and conduit.

do the wheels make it a pain in the butt to put the bike on it(it wanting to roll away from u)?

We make our stands out of out office chairs. Just take the chair part off and weld a flat plate on. You can adjust the height to suit any bike. Having the bike on wheels does make it move around a bit when working on it but allows numerous bikes to be wheeled around easily and packed into the corner, out of the way(small garage).

You can also have a buddy push you around while making vroom-vroom sounds on those non-running dead horses....

not really two of the wheels lock and turn they make it nice to move around. when its not being tinkered with its stored under some shelving. The stand is 21" tall, so its easy on the back to work on while sitting or standing.
