That's easy on the 850, as it's got a locking hole in the stand. It's not been a problem so far.

Cool, have you tested it out? Looks like the bottom of the gussets on the end with the smaller casters are a bit too far from the main support channel, maybe a weak point. But, thats a whole lot thicker/ stronger gauge iron than the store bought ones.
I love making rather than buying if time allows. I made a shim tool (or bucket pusher downer) and it actually works.....sort of. Had a hard time grinding an edge sharp enough to just barely catch the lip without blocking acces to the shim. I will just order an OEM one for next time but it was fun making it.

Yes, unseen by the camera, are two 1/4" packing pieces welded in, to take the strain.
It still works well, but not quite as nicely as the 4 x 4" castors. For the next one, I'll see about finding some 3" wheels.

This is near by. Thinking of getting one. How do the wheels lock to roll the bike up onto it?

[FONT="]I have 2 of these motorcycle dollies in great shape. They are rated at #1250 capacity. They work great to maneuver your bike in small spaces. I am asking $60 each. Thanks for looking.[/FONT]

There's a foot flip-lever above each wheel, that just jams against the rubber. Quick-on, quick-off.This is near by. Thinking of getting one. How do the wheels lock to roll the bike up onto it?

FWIW -
The bike dolly I've been using (pic above) has been very handy during an engine rebuild. It allows me to move the bike around for access in my one-car garage, lets me put it to the side when waiting on parts, and (unexpectedly) allows for easy moving to for best lighting which was valuable when getting the old PITA base gasket material removed.
