Centre Stand/lift

I much prefer the herringbone pattern.

 

this has turned into a right nail-biter.

 

I used to own the Monster version, It was OK, easy to use. I sold it when I bought my ABBA stand.

 

Parquet?

 

I'm going to convert a No. 2 trestle, bargain.

More costly than both my front and rear stands together........and you just use a spanner to adjust the height of mine as you go, to lift the bike to the required height.

 

I take it you had all the raw materials before you made it Al ? Plus we are riddled with woodworm down here .

 

I had to buy the angle brackets for the front stand and the threaded rod, nuts, bolts and washers for both.
The 4 x 2 for the front I did have....luckily it was pressure treated.
The metal angle for the rear stand were the two long side pieces from an old bed frame.

 

That's the kiddie,but it was more a play on words from me.

 

Basically it's a add on centre stand for the rear wheel / chain maintenance.

 

Good luck and when are you painting it yellow.

 

I meant the 900ss.

 

So it didn't go over your head then.

 

Looks a lot better than the box of Meccano bits it looked like off the bike! Good stuff
I've still got my homemade Abba-style stand for my long-gone SS. Took me an afternoon to cut, weld up & paint. Very satisfying when you have the equipment.

 

I use a block and tackle hung from a beam in my workshop for both my bikes. I secure it to the bike with ropes tied either forward or aft on the chassis depending whether I want the front or rear wheel off the ground. The anchor points for the foot pegs are good strong points for the rear and the fork yokes are good for the front. My bikes are naked but a faired bike would be more difficult.

 

Bought a Constand a few weeks back. Wheels off the ground. Easy to move around. For security I put a big zip tie on so there os no way it can come off the pins. So a few pennies each time the stand is used and very happy.
