    Show us your workstand

    How do you support your bike for work? Got a lift, homemade or otherwise? Ramps? Worktable?

    Post some pics - let's see how creative this collective really is!

    Humble, home made…

    I've done quite a lot of bike work on this platform…

    Tilts down for loading, but for any bike over 450 lb, you better have a friend help you push it up.

        I use this lift from Complete Hydraulic. Worth every penny if you do a lot of work on bikes.

                        Lift?

                        I use this and the centerstand for anything on he front end .



                        I had to mark it with a Sharpee "M/C Lift - DO NOT REMOVE" so one of my boys wouldn't use it or my wife wouldn't toss it

                        And I use the centerstand alone for anything on the backend. Still hell on the knees though.

                          I have this lift, my garage is not as busy or as organized as Joes but as he mentioned a good lift is worth every penny IMHO.

                              Here the one I framed up and built in a day. Folks theorized and the "engineers" here took their pot shots at it but its a solid as any out there and has lifted dozens of bikes without a hick up.

                              Best use of free lumber I can think of.

                              NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


                              I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
