i saw a vidio on this site about a bike stand which you put into the side of the frame and you can move around any where you want but cant remember where it is or what it come under :dunno
 
I believe little1uk on here, is the man to PM about these now.

Not sure if they are in production yet but he was making a batch to sell far cheaper than the £300+ the Germans were asking.
 
Website was going live wednesday but put it off as i was waiting for the bank to pull its finger out of its arse and give the authoisation for card transactions, spoke to them today and should be ready next week, site is going live tonight at 10pm, cant take payments thro it but if anyone is interested submit the enquiry form and ill get back to you.
This is the stand, it now holds Design Right Protection and is Patent Pending,

It will allow you to do a complete strip down including engine removal, all you will be left with is frame and swing arm although i am currently making an adaptor which will let you remove the swingarm too
 
Agreed :thumbup

I see you've added some refinements like secondary arm and reinforcing fillets,is there still going to be a castoring option?

Yes ive been doing tests with the castors, not 100% happy with them at the moment, dont get me wrong once they are on you can lift the bike to 200mm and push it up and down my block paved drive and spin the bike, but somethings not right that i cant put me finger on, maybe im being over cautious :dunno
 
I'm not an engineer.

Trying to help. Could it be the feet on the offside of the bike? They look prettty stable without castors but maybe they could do with reinforcing for using castors? My thinking- The force would be spread by the feet without castors, but with them the length of material between castors is the weak point?

Thats not the issue, theres no sag or bounce in the steel with the wheels, my concerns are it has to be fail safe/ ***** proof when on the wheels, although the bike is 100% stable i still have to test if its capable of being pushed up and down slight gradients i.e most garages have a gradient and about a 10mm step in the doorway, if pushed in or out i have to know all will be well as its my insurance company that will be liable if proved the lift was at fault, so until im 100% happy ill not be selling the wheeled option.
 
is there some way of selling the castors or leaving it so they could be added but disassociating yourself? i can see your issues and there will always be some **** who tries wheeling it up his stairs lol. seems a shame to miss out that aspect of it though, would be handy for people with a few brain cells!
