The first time I did a chain adjustment on my bike ( which has a side stand only ) I was very nervous that my bike would fall over while it was up on the jack.<br> I had seen a ride in bike stand made of steel tube which I fancied but felt that $220 was a bit steep, so I looked at making an alternative set up.<br> Now I have no welding gear, but I am a carpenter and usually have a few bits and pieces lying around, so if you have some basic woodworking tools and some bits of ply and two by twos , this may be of interest to you.<br> As you can see by the pics, it wil hold the bike securely while you have it jacked up. I leave my bike parked in it all the time as it holds the bike upright and makes checking fluid levels and such a breeze.<br> If this idea is of any use to you,then I'm glad to have been of help.<br><br><img src="http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc116/harryah/Dscn0161s.jpg" alt="Posted Image"><br><img src="http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc116/harryah/Dscn0162s.jpg" alt="Posted Image"><br><img src="http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc116/harryah/Dscn0164ss.jpg" alt="Posted Image"><br><img src="http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc116/harryah/Dscn0163s.jpg" alt="Posted Image"><br><br>Sorry about the blue cast to the pics, I had the wrong setting on my cam.<br><br> <img src="http://209.85.117.197/12403/80/0/e4249/e4249.gif" alt=":Cheers1:">

Talk about thinking outside the box (no pun intended), that is a great idea. What part of the bike did you use the jack on. I would be afraid to damage something. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

On the speedy and america,where the two lower frame members terminate there is a crossbrace between them.&lt;br&gt;I jack on this point, but I always use a bit of softwood as a packer between the jack and bike, and keep an eye on the rear brakeline attached to the crossbrace&lt;br&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://209.85.117.197/12403/80/0/e4249/e4249.gif&quot; alt=&quot;:Cheers1:&quot;&gt;
