Well even if I say it myself I am quite impressed with the finished product.
In order to get to this point I have had a week running around sizing and sourcing stuff. And this week I have just got down and made them.
Still a picture paints a thousand words so here's a few pics modelled by my tank like FZR.
The specs are as follows. 3/4" pipe not tube, i.e. 2.6mm wall thickness (so they are stronger than normal stands). 100 mm solid nylon wheels, which are bigger than most wheels that you get with stands; solid 19mm steel for the lifter arms (i.e chunky), locking knob insides and threads are cast together so that knob won't break off. Lifter supports can be taken out if required as are secured by drilled and tapped M6 machine screws. Rubber pads on the lifting angles to protect your paintwork. I put a small bend in at the far end so you can get your hand underneath. After all this strength that I put into them they actually weigh pretty much the same as one you get in a shop maybe a little heavier. Overal I am very happy!
Now a few of you have said you are interested, which is great. I said about $100. To be honest if I sell them for that my labour works out at minimum wage for this week. So what I will say is that they cost $100 but if you think they are worth more just pay me what you think is right. No sweat.
You can come round if you want and size em up. Also if you have something particularly different that you want a custom stand made for I maybe be able to help.
Whatever.
