New to this forum, and also new owner of a 40th 'Busa
I am the type that hates to take any of my vehicles to the shop for regular maintenance or repairs. Of course when it goes beyond my capabilities, to the shop they go
I want to build a custom workstand that is nice and easy to use, and sturdy enough to hold the bike while my grandson climbs all over the bike while on the stand. (not that that will happen re: Grandson)
So my plan is to use the swingarm hole that goes all the way through the bike. It looks like approx 3/4 inch (not a metric man, sorry) and would like to use a solid rod to go through the hole, then have some sort of frame that will attach to the rod and hold the bike vertical and solid. I am sure it is well behind C/G but it will raise the rear of the bike, and could come up with some sort of front jack system to get the front wheel off the ground should I need to.
I am an Aerospace Engineer, also a tooling expert in aerospace, and have a welder at home to make the frame myself (read, cheap)
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions
?
Just kicking the idea around for now, hopefully it will be some time before I really need it !!
Thanks for reading =)
Peace
