Yea i always have to have a project going...
Anyways heres the start to my rear stand. I made one at home the same way and it turned out great. Anyways it is made using 1in dia tube and will pick up the rear of the bike by the swing arm spools. Anyways it will cost about $30 in supplies and about 4 hours of work to make. Tonight I cut everything, bent the tubes and welded everything together. You cant tell but the main "U" shaped part is actually 2 pieces that are welded together, then the handle is welded to the fab'd "U". The handle has been placed and welded so that when the bike is on the stand it will sit about 3/4in off the ground. This way you can get your hands under it to take the bike off. Here is what it looks like now and no the uprights arn't welded yet as i have to fab the wheels on first. The brown is only a metal primer to resist rust.

Anyways im going to try to make the swing arm spool pick up parts adjustable if I can but it all depends on the steet i can get my hands on, this way other people can use it at my place if needed.
