My New Moveable Workstand
After seeing the Milk crate workstand Aerostich sells I have built this out of stuff I had lying around
  Since I have finished the Wif's projects I can now work on my own : ) I will finish putting together & shoot some more pic's with the bike on it. My challenge has been being able to tear the bike apart for cleaning and to get her painted, with all of the SO's stuff all over the garage. Previously I would hang the bike from the ceiling but then it would be there till I got her all back together, so i saw the aerostich stand http://www.aerostich...hree-crate.html   and thought thats cool but what would make it better would be wheels! so Harbor Freight has these dollies for about 9.00 apiece, they hold 1000lbs each, that with the milk crates, 12" wide solid core door Piece I had laying around a couple of bucks for bolts and WooHoo I have a moveable stand. Roll the bike up, place on center stand, block center stand & take off front wheel & I can put my forks with the new racetech springs on, install my new VFRness, clean her up then start sanding and Paint the body/tank White!   

How do you plan to hold that thing in place while you try to roll the bike onto it? Looks just plain scary to me.

To me this looks very unsafe. Even without the dollies and the bike this high off the floor you will need at least one tall person to keep the bike upright while attaching the straps.

When I do load the bike on it will be a two person job, for safety, I will place the front against the wall and push the bike up a 80" ramp so the incline will be minimal. Once up tiedown each side then put the bike on the centerstand and instant moveable workstand. watch the video on the link, if that person can do it by themselves with the stand at least 13" high, I am positive two can do 18" height no problem.

Up on the stand and ready to move
  I was very surprised to find out how easy it is to push the bike up, I had my Neighbor help me, then hop up and put down the center stand. It is very stable and for a total of about 40 bucks out of pocket and a few hours I can't complain!

Yikes!!! Good luck with that

I would scab a two by four on each side, making it 3 inches wider. Looks like your center stand is almost wider than the section of door. Not knocking your inventiveness, it just needs some modification.

No, thank you.

Very clever. If it works then it serves the purpose you built it for. How do you get it up on the centre stand?

I look forward to the YouTube video of your bike crashing off of that thing.
