Is it worth the money? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180042133921&fromM akeTrack=true Ralph   Lake_bueller Posted on Monday, October 23, 2006 - 04:54 pm:        That one looks better than the one I bought on ebay last year. I like the fact that you can a) swivel the motor; b) get "under" the motor (oil pump gear). One thing to remember....it's not easy getting the motor onto the stand!!!   Bluzm2 Posted on Monday, October 23, 2006 - 05:16 pm:        Lake, you are correct on that one! I made one for the S1 project bike motor. It's a bit higher than the one you are talking about. I like the idea of a swivel, I just used a service cart as a base! Here's a picture, not the best but the only one I have here at work.

Check out my project with this link, also the archives for more pictures. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/47623/218015.html?1161604736   Xldevil Posted on Tuesday, October 24, 2006 - 05:05 am:        Joe,your engine stand looks a little bit wobely,once the engine is out of the frame. Especially while working on some high torqued parts. I'm looking for some working stand,not for a jack.

Ralph It's as solid as a rock even with the swingarm/rear wheel and mount still attached. Dosen't look like a jack to me... Sorry for sharing!   Xldevil Posted on Tuesday, October 24, 2006 - 04:30 pm:        Hey Joe. The last thing I intended was to tread you on your toes. Sorry if I made you feel that way. Could it be that you are a little bit vulnerable when talking comes to your craftsmanship and if someone does not take everything you build for the philosopher's stone, just because it's you who made it? And:Thank you for sharing.

But then again, you never know! It's a Buell after all You haven't patented it have you? Just in case! Rocket
