Great Video with awesome detail. My son and I restore late 80’s motocross bikes. You have great experience and a perfect machine for the job. Thanks for Canada.
I took the stand apart, turned the platform over and drilled holes to match sportster cylinders 900/1000 front/rear and put studs in. The cylinders bolt to the studs. The 900/1000 front/rear cylinders do share a couple of holes. I just move the studs around to accommodate whichever jug I'm boring. I stamped near the holes with an ID so know where to move the studs to. I've seen some pictures of a bottle jack pushing a cylinder up into the bottom of the platform, I don't think I trust the jack not to leak down.
FYI, mine came out of a motorcycle shop, they got rid of it because nobody knew how to work it anymore, neither did I, but I was going to figure it out. Anyway, shortly after I bought it (15 years ago) I pulled the cover behind the fast slow lever and cleaned 30 years of sludge out of the gear box. You may want to consider doing that too. Then last year I got curious about the state of the bearings in the actual boring bar part of it so I pulled that apart too, that was/is a difficult job, but, as it turns out, really needed, the "grease" was the consistency of beeswax and there was a spacer in the bearings up by the drive sheaves that had disintegrated. Now that I think of it, the video might be the first bore job after repacking the boring bar bearings.
If you slide the machine around after you center your fingers, it will give you a more accurate center location. Then your cut will be nice and not off center.

I have the same boring stand. How are you holding the cylinder to the underside?

I just picked a bar just like that any idea how or where to check the oil and fill it? There was a tag in it saying to do so. Thanks
