Homemade Center Stand

Post by Bip »

Lift front or rear wheel off the ground depending on where you place the lift. 4x6, 2x4, and a fence post. Lift bike by pushing down with your foot while standing over your bike. Works GREAT.

Mine has been used a lot (kind of worn). :uhh:

If you have any type of electrical issue, have your battery load tested before you do anything else. Any auto parts store will test it for free.

Either way works. I should probably find a pipe to use instead of the 2x2. After the pictures I did add some carpet to the top just to protect the frame.
