Does anyone have blue prints of all the special tools required to rebuild a 1125R from the ground up. And a list of standard otherwise tools needed including stands. |

Make your own engine stand...

The motor stand is the most useful thing you can make, IMHO. It makes chassis jobs a snap. |

There are several tools necessary, most are in the technical manual, but not all. Jdugger is correct on the engine stand, but more than one is required and the exact style does depend on the bike's configuration, especially the exhaust. One stand to service the bike and another for the bench to assemble the engine. The bigger issue is tool availability. Initially at least, these tools were restricted to only HD dealers. They were made by Kent-Moore under license by HD. Unless EBR sells them, they may be unavailable. For me, I buy what I can and make the rest myself as required. (I have my own machine shop) |

That is what I was going to do and dedicate a roll away box with nothing but the tools to fix and rebuild the bike, since the tools are largely unavailable on the open market I was going to have my machinist fab up a set for me but the problem is I don't have prints to go off of |

You pretty much have to remove the exhaust to mount an engine stand, IMO, so there really is one "standard" configuration as far as mounting points. Front is located at the oil cooler mounts, rear is a single point on the right side below swingarm pivot. Unless you're splitting the cases, the engine stand (similar to that pictured), will allow access to pretty much everything. As far as tools, you may be able to borrow what you need and make copies like Stevel did. If you have access to a welder and some steel tubing (or even angle iron), you can make a stand for pretty cheap in a few hours. It does make life much easier when doing surgery.

When I get to it, I'll draw up some plans for my stand and post them up. (Message edited by Stirz007 on April 10, 2014) |
