US builders should note most 9" angle grinders have a 5/8"-11 spindle thread while metric units often use a 10 x 1.25 spindle thread. Boat trailer rollers, long bolts for same, pillar (Euro usage) or "pillow" (Colonial corruption of pillar) blocks can be had online in most any size ya like. Prospective builders should study both commercial and homebuilt paddock starters for best results.
This is fantastic. Much simpler than the heavier systems I've seen. And seems to work great.I have a couple of smaller 2-strokes that are kick-start only and I have an issue that makes this difficult. Do you have any instructions on how to make this anywhere?Thanks.
I just rebuilt my 1970 Triumph Daytona 500, it's punched out a little bit and it's still winter. My bike dislikes winter more than I do and trying to light it up before April or May is and never has been easy. I've got 10:1 pistons n it so it's got some compression. I was thinking how I need to do this as I was feeling like an iron lung would be nice too! I'm no spring chicken but then even when I was, this bike was still nothing you'd want to bump start! Thanks for posting.
very good idea with angle grinder. no need to buy a motor. One question the speed of angle grinder is quite high , ithink around 8000rpm. do you reduce the speed somehow , if yes how d'you do that?
The 15-amp angle grinder and foot operated "on-off" switch are from Harbor Freight. 5/8" x 11 threaded rod and coupler from Home Depot. 5" boat keel rubber rollers and Pillow Blocks available from various suppliers on the internet. Frame made from angle Iron.
Brilliant video. Thanks for sharing. Nice Bike what is it BTW? Any chance that you could send me details on how to make this? It may stop me from tearing my Calf muscle AGAIN!!
Grinders turn at much higher RPMs than drills and have much more torque. A drill would never do the job! Most drills are rated a 5 amps or less and turn at around 1200 RPM. The angle grinders I used are rated at 16 amps. and turn at 6000 RPM. Because of the high RPMs I can start my bikes in 3rd gear(4 speed bikes)
Hello, how is this holding up after a couple of years? Were you starting the bike in 2nd gear or higher.I'm trying to understand the load you're putting on the grinder. Thanks in advance. GREAT VIDEO
Holding up very well. Keep in mind that the grinder turns a 6000rpm, so I'm able to start the bikes in 3rd gear. This reduces the load on the grinder and wear on the rollers.
Mr. Jerant, I would love to have a copy of any photos, plans, parts lists, and possible suppliers of the parts. I'm too old to kick start my GasGas XC250, but I love to ride it. If I knew how to PM you I would...just don't want my email address all over the internet. You have done a really nice piece of work here. Thanks. Lynn Garner
Salve, complimenti per il progetto, vorrei riprodurne uno simile, può inviarmi gentilmente qualche foto e disegno più dettagliato per avviare più facilmente il mio Honda Bol D'or. Grazie
Well done!! Low profile and speed looks good. I would like a copy of your instructions if you would. I don't see a way to private message my email. Thanks Junie The Vintage Motorcycle Club will love this!
Hi, The 16-amp angle grinder was purchased at Harbor Freight. The frame is the motorcycle stand also sold by Harbor Freight, but if you can cut and weld you can make your own out of angle iron. The start stop switch was also purchased from harbor freight. The rubber rollers are 5" boat keel rollers purchased on the net. The pillow blocks were also purchased on the net. The 5/8" threaded rod and couplings can be purchased at Home Depot. The distance between the center line of the roller shafts is 11 3/4". Since the angle grinder turns at 6000rpm, you can start the bikes in high gear (4th or 5th) Less strain on the starter. If you want pictures, I need your email. Hope this helps. Junie
@@larrywood1943Hi Larry, I purchased a 15 amp angle grinder from Harbor Freight. Turns at 6000rpm so you can start in high gear. Less stress on bike and starter.

I do have close up photos, Robert...but have no way of getting them to you.
+Junie Jerant Would very much appreciate photos, if it's not trouble. rockt999@yahoo.com

love the system any chance you could please send me some pictures as well as that is perfect thanks. moicie@hotmail.com
Need an email then I can send info.

Hi do you have any photos or measurements of how you did it
Yes, but you have to give me an Emal address to send them too.
Anyway to get assembly info?

The speed of my angle grinder is 6000 rpm. This is good since you can start the bikes in a higher gear causing less strain on the starter.
I see this post was started some time ago but can anyone let me have more details please
That's got to be the sweekiest floor known to man!!! 😆
That is pretty cool. Do you have a schematic or build plan, would love to put one of these together
Jim, If you send me your email I will send you the parts list and some pictures.
I'm at mr.jim.v@gmail.com - thanks!
Looks like a GREAT idea! How can I obtain more information?
Hi Jack, send me your email and I will send you some information and pictures.
Fantastic! Thanks. Your device looked like a real goer! JackMcCurley@att.net
what did you use for the rollers? great idea! i need one
Hi Joe, send me your email and I will send you pictures and parts information
Junie Jerant
Can you post the plans picture on your channel Maybe as a slide show.
Very nice out of the box thinking.
Need the parts list!

Thanks for sharing.
Nice Bike what is it BTW?
Any chance that you could send me details on how to make this? It may stop me from tearing my Calf muscle AGAIN!!
Sent you a private email with the info you requested.
The bike is a 1968 Aermacchi-Harley Davidson Rapido.
Thanks.
Just out of interest why do you use an angle grinder? Can you use a drill instead?
Grinders turn at much higher RPMs than drills and have much more torque. A drill would never do the job! Most drills are rated a 5 amps or less and turn at around 1200 RPM. The angle grinders I used are rated at 16 amps. and turn at 6000 RPM. Because of the high RPMs I can start my bikes in 3rd gear(4 speed bikes)
Oh Ok. Thanks..
Thanks for the advice and diagrams you are a star!!

Holding up very well. Keep in mind that the grinder turns a 6000rpm, so I'm able to start the bikes in 3rd gear. This reduces the load on the grinder and wear on the rollers.
Awesome thank you for replying
What will you charge to build me one?
hi may i know how u made it??

I would be very grateful if you could send me plans / pictures ..... would be awesome to build one! Thanks, Mark

Man that bloke looks clumsy to me he wasn't sure to move bike forward or backwards to get off its stand ,that's what I call poetry in motion 😅

That is really clever thinking, I shall have to pirate the idea.
By all means...do so Larry!

Hell, I thought I did pretty dam good for an 80-year-old guy! 😂
Very neat! How can I send you my email address please?
