$20? you must be using steel. who wants to throw that hog in the back of the truck?thebleakness said:You factored in your own labor price? You going to pay yourself when its done? :p
I'm building a foot lift right now in my metal shop. I'm using the plans from JustKDX.com (which I must say are leaving MUCH to be desired). This wouldn't be good for the topic starting because I have had to mill, grind, punch (as in drill) and weld it all together. Its going to be one beefy stand but it'll stand the test of time. I've spent about 2 days on it and it's going to cost me about $20 to build. I'll get some pictures when it's done, it'll be sweet!

I sprayed paint it blue and wrote yamaha on it.
Works a treat

Hello.. I’m super need to this forum and the MotoX BMX ATV scene. I’m a mother of boys and they are totally into it. My son asked me to build him a Foot lift bike stand.. n I am clueless so you wouldn’t happen to have plans for this “extravagant foot lift” your talking about .. would you?So I built this extravagant foot lift. I cant weld so I made it out of steel piping (galvanized steel) because then I could just use loosely threaded joints for the pivot points, which I did.
I tried it out and it lifted the bike great, but it swayed a bit to the side and snapped cause it's not very wide, and understandably top heavy.
Oh well.
Hey so do those plastic milk crates hold up well? I have a 300 lb WR250 and i dont want to risk having it smash through the crate lol
