Great use of stuff just laying around to make things easier, for sure! Couple strips of rubber (even heavy duty heat shrink tubing would work a treat) on the upper tubes for anti-slip. A slot cut in a cheap socket extension , pop it in a drill, and easy power lifting too. 😎

Already on it mate. Wrapped the top tubes in rubbery cord. Works a treat!

I use one of these jacks on my bike now and then and have been meaning to try to make it a bit more sturdy, so I'll be copying this. One addition I have made to mine was that I welded a bolt onto the winding point, so rather than using the awkward handle, I can just use my air wrench or a ratchet to operarate it easier and quicker

Not a bad call bro. I may as well implement that to my design! Good call

Excellent job Mackie I was going to buy one of those Jack's but now I'll be making one thanks to you. Keep up the good work.🤘

It already got number of useful holes on the base, so these work just fine for that purpose.

Great stuff Mackie. Always thinking outside the box. Cheers mate!

Nice work Mackie. When I had that bike, the stand was what I always needed, so it's always great to have some inspiration for a simple fix! Skäl David

I had a similar idea for lifting my car and placing them under each tire. Obviously the design would be a lot sturdier but having a lowered car makes it hard to work underneath.

Yeah, cars are obviously much heavier. I wouldn't trust my welding skills with these ;) Just saying..

Brilliant job. I used to use a scissor jack to lift under the engine when I was working on the front of the bike, but I was always worried about the stability. You have solved that problem. I have a trolley jack now so it’s much better.

Yes, same here. Always worried it'd tip over. Not anymore :)

Well done! I had the same idea in mind and had to search online about it, and I found your video so I know it is possible and that it will work great for my bike.

Good job you've made of that, and especially as you seem to have used stuff that was otherwise scrap, as it were. I am doing a bt of research to help me decide how to make something like this for a little 150cc scooter, so I don't keep hurting my poor lower back bending down. (Existing back problems). Though I cannot make direct use of what you have done, it's good for reference, so thanks.

Dude. Do you buy Pinstripping and Kustom Graphics Magazine? Issue 77. If so buy next months coz I’m in it ! Cool ain’t it. I was asked for some paintings for it to be published. Not only that, I’m on the front ruddy cover with my painting of Norman Wisdom. Can’t wait to have a look. Keep up the whittling.
