motorbike stand

[mulisha kid]

does any1 know how to make a motorbike stand that you step on and it lifts up the bike? its for a 125 2 stroke thanks

[__PETEY__]

yer i bought one them, me and my mate made a replica of one, its pretty ahrd to explain but wen ya set the legs up get a tri square and set it at 120 degrees tack them on then ya can play around wit em so ya angles are right thats probably the hardest bit i think but if ya look hard ebough its probly on this site some where

[mulisha kid]

oh ok cheers mate thanks for the help

[paddo]

i got one off the bloke i got my bike with. he made it. it works fine but im gonna make one myself. do a bit of a better job on the welds and stuff. and put checker plate on top. ill put a pic of my one atm up if i can mate but no promises because last time i tried to put pics up it didnt work.

[mulisha kid]

oh kool that would be sweet if you could do that by the way what bike is the stand for?

[mulisha kid]

so does any one know how to make a stand for a motor bike???? plz some1

[timo38]

your best bet would be to find a mate with one and exactly copy all the dimensions of a bought one, if your accurate enough it should come out near identical.

[mulisha kid]

yeah i will try and see if i can find someone with one, but it would be easier if someone on here had already made one. then they could just tell me how.

[scott_855]

a mate gave me these designs for a lift stand, he sed he got them off here a few yrs back, but i have made a stand using these designs and a few others at skool did aswell

[yamaha_fmxer]

[scott_855]

right click on it and save as, then once it has downloaded to your computer you should beable to view it

[yamaha_fmxer]

[yamaha_fmxer]

ok thanks heaps. sorry bout being a pain lol

[mulisha kid]

oh cool thanks scott for all ur help and ill be making that stand asap

[scott_855]

heres a pic of mine, its painted black now, and is good the skool paid for the steel for it

[syme fmxer]

nice stand how much did it cost in materials. and how long did it take

[scott_855]

im not sure how much it would have cost to make, shouldnt have been to much as there isnt much steel involved, just ask a steel supplier, some places would be a prick and make u pay for the hole 8m length of steel and other will just sell u wat u need

[mulisha kid]

oh kool thanks for that, and nice stand and bike

[scott_855]

the stand works ok but it has failed once, the holes on the angle where the 2 bolts go through was a coupld of mm off which reduced the locking of it

[syme fmxer]

thanks mate. we should be good for steel since we got lots left over form the ramp we made

[scott_855]

the rhs we used was 2mm thick and the angle was 5mm i think

[syme fmxer]

ok thanks for all the advice mate. it helps alot

[scott_855]

yeh any other questions just ask

[anxiety racing]

the stand works ok but it has failed once, the holes on the angle where the 2 bolts go through was a coupld of mm off which reduced the locking of it
yer that has happened to mine once or twice but its ok now..... i made 3 of em for me and me mates coz if ya buy the steel in bulk sort of thing it can sometimes turn out cheaper so if ya mates wont one ask em then charge em lol

[paddo]

if ur planning on making one go to a engineering shop and ask if u can hav a look in their scrap bins cos at work we would easy hav enough in there to make a few of them and if they are a good shop u mite not hav to pay much at all.

[tudge199]

i made 1 at tafe, its all ready to go just havent got bolts lol

there pretty easy

[walters]

I was just wondering what angle you connect B and C at and also how far from the bottom of E do you weld L?
Cheers
Zac :Z433:

[scott_855]

i dont know wat u mean wif B and C it just bolts onto it, we had to make up all the measurements oh where to drill the holes and where to weld L, i will go measure mine up tomorrow and give ya the measurements

[mulisha kid]

Im gonna make the same stand as that when i get my new 125

[scott_855]

yeh they are pretty handy, i dont use mine anymore as i have a different type of list stand that my parents bought for me, so the one i made just sits in the shed, just you have to be careful wen drilling the holes on G as that is what locks it and if they arent the right distance apart the stand wont lock

[walters]

Cheers mate :Z440:
Im going to make it in tech at school and the teacher wont let me start without al the exact measurments lol
Zac

[mulisha kid]

does any 1 have any plans for an oil stand or any tips on making one? thanks

[scott_855]

go buy one at a moto shop, take it home measure it all up then take it back, they may even let you just measure it up in the shop, i tried making one once, i found it extremely hard

[mulisha kid]

oh thanks for that ill probaboly just try and measure one up in a shop.

have you started building it give some pics of it
