| Any plans available for a motorcycyle stand or chock, something that can be built with cheap materials, to hold the bike vertical for simple maintenance? I can probably come up with some half baked thing myself, but I'm sure anything out there will look and work better.

| Well for $60 a 1500 lb lift can be purchased. There is often 20% off coupons available as well. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...temnumber=2792 That makes it $48 plus tax. Cheap enough? |

| I already sent a set of plans for the chock to a board member- he will probably post it - if not- I will figure out how to do it- it is really the best chock out there- also- I built all my stands that are for straight mechanic work, out of wood scraps. My frame jig I am building from an old rack off a nissan. I will post pics when it is done. I do low cost customs, so it doesn't make sense to spend money except on welder and tube bender and possible a small mill! |
