I need to make one that'll handle BMW sport-tourers, the mid-600-pounders or so.<br /><br />I'm curious about how you modified the Eurostands plans, and what you added? What would you do differently next time around?<br /><br />I'm thinking about just making two at the same time, since there's not much of a jump from 2 to 3 sheets of plywood anyway :)Pat Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875157483187322877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11254826.post-51567623983711637252007-07-16T12:48:00.000-05:002007-07-16T12:48:00.000-05:00Thanks for the stand pics and drawings.

Fast forward 3-4 decades and I got a bike again and where the hell am I gonna see some plans to build a ramp/bench. Bingo.

The stand looks great. Isn't it always the way, find what you are looking for AFTER you're done, lol. I think that's a Murphy Law.
