- My Homemade Motorcycle Dolly.
Now instead of fighting with my bike to put it were I want in the garage I can just do it. Its as simple as that no more going back and forth and trying to pick it up, I can just move it were I want!!! Plus it doubles as a motorcycle jack in a way, because now I can also do any maintenance or work on the bike in it upright position. - กีฬา
I was looking to buy one and now I saw your project. Man it's amazing. I will build my one. Thanks a lot to publish you project.
Thats one of the best solution I have ever seen! Well done. I was gonna build a bike work table, but I'm leaning towards your idea now.
I love projects that are original !!!
Excellent job !!! I am so going to make one for my bike
This is so great! you should be proud of yourself. this comes real handy for securing your bike inside a moving truck except probably no wheels would be needed. i make my own as well.
Nice build very effective and cheap and looks like it will last years
I'm going to build one for each of my bikes. I would recommend a handle to help push it around the garage. Stacking your bikes side by side and maximize space.
Excellent work!!
Nice job! It works and you made it yourself!
Jerry H puedes poner las medidas?
Nice Job on Building it yourself .I'm trying t build one for my scooter lance caliclassic 125 and my daughter's lance Havana 150. Thanks for Sharing
amazing work, man
like a Boss! well simple but so cool
I just purchased one at Harbor Freight but this is a great idea.. Good job....
very good job!!!!!!
Thank you for using standard lumber; some guys out there will bust out the woodworking shop or the fancy TIG welder to do the same thing.
that gets the job done! great work man!!!
You have solved one of my biggest problems, thanks a million. John
Ottimo lavoro mi piace molto questa pedana
A steel wheel chock could be added to a platform to save building the chock.
This is boss level. Thank you.
Amazing idea. Question, do you think if you placed a scissor lift under that platform on each end to hoist it up, would that be stable as well? Reason I’m asking is cause I’m trying to re fabricate and build one of these for my virago to appear in a show…
Would it be able to handle a Harley Davidson dresser? Around 800-900 lbs give or take.
Looks great, I need two. One is a long 9 ft Chopper???
Totally cool
Mate. Thats awesome just a bit confused with rear caster wheel. Hoz it conneted to the main fame glue bolt or
I'm interested in how your castors work. I.e., how the bolt lifts and lowers them.
Hi Jay. I have a 2004 KLR and looking for a few parts to bring her back to life. Would you happend to know of a source?
That's an awesome build! Where did you get the wheels and what is the specific name so I can find them in the store?
Russ, I am pretty sure they are just to lock the dolly down while loading it. They seem too far away from the casters to do anything to them. Look at minute 3:26 in the video. Jameson may be able to confirm that.
nice
Wowwwwwwwwwwww Nice !
do you have formal plans for this? I'd love to building it!
Are the bolts that you ratchet simply to lift the casters off the floor, or do they lock the casters somehow?
+Russ Rogers It lifts the wheels off the ground while loading.
Why culdent you just turn the bike around outside i have a under ground garage so i have to do like a 50 point turn
I will make one but with out the front bracket, I will use tie-downs instead, this way u can drive off it.
How much would you charge to build one for somebody ?
Im not sure, never really thought about making them to sell. it cost about $80 to $100 to make though.
ok thanks man
$80-100? You must be using some expensive casters. The lumber is pretty cheap on that.
Doing a quick search on HomeDepot.com:
$7.08 -- 8 ft 2x10
$3.47 -- 8 ft 2x4 (probably need 3 of them)
That brings it up to $17.49... Maybe add another $1-2 for the 4 bolts and nuts, so let's say $19.49 just to be safe...
The smallest caster that I could find for sale at Harbor Freight was around $6 each and it was a 4" caster with a 330 lb load rating. So, for 4 of them, you would have a 1320 lb capacity motorcycle dolly. That would be enough for even large touring bikes. So that would bring it up to $43.49 in just the parts.
The design in this video though looks like it uses smaller casters though. Probably because the bike is lighter than what I would build it to hold.
You could probably save a bit of money by buying two of the 18"x12" Hardwood Moving Dollies from Harbor Freight for $10.99 each and adapting the platform to stretch across both of them. That would give you a 2000 lb capacity platform.
Or just buy one of them and use the casters from it instead of buying the separate casters that I mentioned above.
So, I would estimate that someone should be able to do it for around $50, at least around here.
If I was building it, I would probably go with a 2x12 though since my bike is a bit heavier and wider.
The bolts just lift the wheels off the ground.
Defeats one purpose you have to back the bike off
too loud
