[QUOTE="us56456712, post: 1195403, member: 19143"] Years ago I had one made from a engine stand. Mine worked and I used it for years. It wasn’t high enough and the access to the side of the bike that wasn’t on the outside wasn’t good. I gave the engine stand away when I moved. I recently welded one up from junk I had in my scrap pile. It fits into a small and standard trailer receiver, into the back of one of my bike carriers and can be used freestanding. The problem is it’s heavy, but I can disassemble it by sliding it apart and take it to races. I put it in the bed of my truck. If I bought an aluminum spool gun and the gas I could have made it from aluminum and that would be nice and light. It’s very stable and you have excellent access to each side. On the second photo, flip the “T” around and it fits into a standard receiver. The square tubing just slides out of the “T” and over the part that goes into the small receiver. There are shims welded to the inside of the square tubing so it fits snugly onto the small receiver end of the “T”.
