I think the plans are $30.  Im guessing materials would be maybe $30 or so.  I figure you could build the table for less than $100 and it's a drive it on and lift it affair.

ken,

the Triangle braces that are supporting the bike.  Did you make those too?  Do you have any close-up pictures of them.

That is a great table.  I'm working off my own hand made stand right now.



The triangle braces are a set that uses a 1/2" drill rod, I normally slip it through the rear axle to clean/lube the chain.
When the rod is placed in the swing arm pivot the rear wheel can be removed, a small scissor jack and block of wood will lift the front wheel.

I'll take some more photos at lunch.

I'm trying to figure out how to share the table plans, I have the plans in a PDF and JPEG format, not sure where to put them?

You'll probably have to upload them to something like fileshare.com or rapidshare.com and then link to them.

The end is in sight! Gotta buckle down and get to work!

thank you ken.  That works for me.  Please send pictures if you have them, but the bracing idea will work for what I'm doing .

That is a nice lift. Looks like it would work great!

I think you might be a bit low on the material cost estimate.

Priced any steel lately......... Probably $150-200 materials + the floor jack

Not being critical, cause I like the lift

At that rate the Harbor Freight one is prolly not a bad one to look at........
Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)

Monsterlover

Don't know.

I have the jack already, and while you're probably right it would be more than $30, I don't think it would cost 150-200.  I can get a pretty good deal on steel locally.

you could get cut offs from a local shop and piece it together. Cheaper that way. Assuming you can weld anyway :)
