    Workshop Hacks

    This bike stand has been my 'project before the project' I have a comfortable garage to work in, but it's normally very full, everything fits like Tetris. In order to make space, I've put everything on casters. Once I roll the cars out, it's just a matter of shifting things around. This lift stand will let me work on the CB very comfortably and then put it away when I'm done for the day. What tools, tricks, mods have people made to make working on the bikes better?

    Interesting. Is the bike attached to the stand at all? How?

    I fabbed some mounts that attach at the front frame/engine bolts, and then a pair that are attached to the center stand points, using the stand shaft.
