I'm thinking about doing a run of race/workshop stands

[bogan]

Figured on doing 3 for myself (if my bikes take up less space I can have more of them), economies of scale and whatnot mean I can do a run of many if anyone else is interested. Single run, so if any bike shops or whatever wanted to grab some stock and onsell its fine with me.

Anyway, idea is for a bit of modularity, bobbins or SSSA pin for the rear, and fork lowers, or bottom of stem for front; multifit etc.

The main difference is the whole lot will sit on castors so they can be moved any which way.

Price I'd think would be around the 300 mark, if there is any interest I'll do a proper priceup/design etc. If not I'll just smash some out for me and laugh at all you plebs with inferior stands.

Build and post the finished product and you may get some buyers. But watch out for the goody 2 shoes people that start complaining about you taking money away from the bike shops that need the income to pay there staff wages hahahaha Yea write. What they really mean is, hey fukers, you are killing my profit margins

[R650R]

I seldom feel the need to move a bike once its up on stands and being worked on.
Interesting idea but I'd never buy anything off you.

A wee closed loop on the spools would do. Although it's probably a wider stance on that stand than the bike's own kickstand, and unlike a bike on a kickstand if it get's nudged it'll just roll away rather than fall over.

Still. Braces and belt is good, eh?

Not in it to make money, just economies of scale, so there will be one run only.I'm not asking anyone to put in the money up front, just that if there is interest in a run larger than just three, it changes the design/fab process.

they need to be a shit load stronger on castors as moving sideways carries a lot more weight than front to back, also the quality of the castors needs to be solid, but given your previous thought to things thinks this is already sorted...

Yeh castors is what I'm working on to start, got some 100kg ones, but they are a little bulky, and I'm wanting to improve the brake mechanism; leaning towards having the stands rotate just a little more to lift up the castors and rest on the ground.

more talking about the sideways strength if you're going to push a bike sideways, traditionally they roll forward/backward, the stands have a triangular structure giving it stregth, how are you going to introduce this strength at 90 degrees to the bike?

Even when pushing sideways a lot less strength is required, the triangle in the main direction is to support the weight, and the levering action. And since it will be on castors it will just roll anyway, so the max sideways force you can put on it will be less, but it will be put on it more often ofc, I'm sure large diameter tube/box will suffice.

Cheers. Yeh, I've found these castors do pretty well on that (mine often gets a bit of swarf spread around). Were it a showroom version on marble floor (one day) they'd be ball transfers instead. My 'spidey' sense still reckons there is an elegant way I haven't thought of yet, so I'm working on a different project this weekend.

do you need both ends to be on castors? maybe front standard and the rear multi directional, that would make sense to me.

Per set? You're using just 2 for the front? In which case why castors?

I only want a rear, and that only because I don't have the room in the garage to fit a lift table. There's space for the SDR, it's just not easy to position it there.

I ended up with two fronts MC17 and NC23.

Nope, not RGV either. 280mm discs, subframe is indeed welded to main frame. Discs too small and frame/subframe is different to that one.

will your workshop stands handle the weight of a Blackbird or ZX14? I'm keen if it does & the $$$ is right

Next version should support it fine, it'll just be lifting it up which would take more effort. The front lift was quite hard on this one, but the front castors are also too far forward, and the lever too short.

Will do one for my viffer, and come up with a price for more while doing that.

Bastard. You bolt it on every time?

How's the SDR going, no problems?

Yeah it lives on the stand. Had it for the Speed Triple, so just needed the 1290 adapter plate....and then of course I had to buy their rear wheel nut socket too.:o

All going good, 11 months today and 23500km. Only issue so far was a leaking fork seal, but that has been sorted. Just love this bike!:D

Any issues your end?

My you've been busy, similar age and I'v just about hit 10000k

I'm a tight bastard, the Hiace jack does the job so adequately the only way I can bring myself to own something like that stand would be to make it.
So far I've bought the castors. :facepalm:

No real issues, except for the broken taillight. Be careful removing the pillion seat, when you lift the front of the seat the back levers down on the taillight and breaks the mounts. Mine's glued on with heavy double sided foam tape for now, I want a better solution but I'm not convinced a new on would make it any less likely to happen again...

In the meantime, it'a an absolute fucking blast.

Smashed some paint on this bitch.

Works fucking mint, just gotta keep the swarf to a minimum so it doesn't chew up the wheels. While it validates the rear only option, it's a bit sketchy with the SSSA due to flex in the right hand side so I always use it paired up, which is a no brainer when you have the pair of them anyway.

Ocean did you ever get further than buying the castors? I reckon a bent tube SS or Ali one would be the go for next time, saves fucking around with paint.

Looks good mate.

Nah, I haven't done more than making the service plates for the castors.

I had plenty of SS 16swg process tube around too, but you can't bend that without better gear than I've got, so got some 3/4" sched 40 in for the job. Just haven't done it yet. :facepalm:
