| + | These were made specifically for a bike with a center stand. ((Toejam503 of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?p=5760229#post5760229)) \\ | ||
| + | With these you can lift the front wheel off the ground when doing tires, wheel bearings, forks, etc. \\ | ||
| + | On a bike without a center stand, you can use the kickstand as a pivot. \\ | ||
| + | These little stands can be placed, strategically, under the frame for stability while working. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Base: 4.5" of 1"x2" C-channel iron. \\ | ||
| + | Shaft welded to center of base: Iron conduit 1" OD approx. 4" high. \\ | ||
| + | A 15/16" nut is welded to top of shaft. \\ | ||
| + | The nuts were welded to the base for stability of the assembly. \\ | ||
| + | However, you could add a nut (un-welded) on top of the that one for more adjustability. \\ | ||
| + | First, measure your individual clearance to get the overall (collapsed) height that you can use. \\ | ||
| + | The top is made from a threaded rod welded to metal C-channel (saddles). \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | |These were used under the frame while adjusting the clutch||| | ||

| + | ====== Modified Scissor Jack ====== | ||
| + | This is actually a car jack meant to lift under the rocker box seam. \\ | ||
| + | The one below was trimmed a little with a piece of box section tubing welded on it and fabricated cradles. \\ | ||
| + | The cradles come off (aside from adjusting) and you can use a wood pad that can sit on the crossbar. ((Tomcatt of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?p=5760204)) \\ | ||
| + | The cross bar isn't crooked, it pivots somewhat relative to the stands' base. \\ | ||
| + | It will lift but not stabilize. \\ | ||
| + | You can modify outriggers to a standard wheel chock to use as tie-downs. \\ | ||
| + | Then roll the bike into it, attach the tie down straps to stabilize the bike and then use the modified scissor jack to lift. \\ | ||
