Home Made Stand

Doing a little work on my Bimota DB2.

I just wanted to show you my inexpensive front stand I made from 1 inch black pipe, available from most hardware stores, i.e. Home Depot. It just screws together in about 5 minutes and when you are done, you just unscrew it for storage.

The total cost was about $48. My DB2 will hang on this for about 6 weeks while I mail out my wheels to source lightweight replacements.

I made a mistake with the bars that connect the two stands. I should have put these on the tee's on the top bars, not on the side as shown. When I   get my wheels, I will just unscrew everything and put them there next time I assemble and use the stand..
