- Build a work stand for your motorbike! It’s an easy to use, sturdy rig for the home mechanic. Download the PDF for how to build your own here: fortnine.ca/en...
Our ‘Tinker Totter’ uses a simple design adapted from the original concept in the 1940’s Motorcycle Mechanics Handbook from The Armored School in Fort Knox Kentucky.
**Prices in this video are estimated in Canadian dollars**
Most of these materials can be found at any hardware store or lumber yard, many viable substitutes exist for each hardware item.
The only item that may be difficult to find is the hinge- Onward™ Permalign™ Hinge
Any gate hinge that stops at 90 degrees (or 270) and swings freely will work. Find out more in the PDF.
Special thanks to our friends at Global Dimension Engineering for sharing their design for their own adaptation.

* just enough information to do it, or customize it
* didn’t feel the need to entirely re-tell the history of motorcycles, lifting, saws, and wood.
Top notch!
History of wood! 😂😂😂😂
More DIY videos like this! I think many of us can agree that building our own bike shops is a lot more fun than to buy everything online
THIS!!! 100% this.
Problem is that lumber is so expensive, it's hard to justify not just stumping up the aluminium and steel prebuilds
@@m1chi13l not to mention the easy $1000+ on the machinery/tools
@@charlesbennet9233 ... you can always borrow tools from a buddy or your BIL (perfect for F9 cheap bastards) or rent them. No need to fork out $ 1,000 on tools.
@@thedude4065 yeah I can, but not everyone is on the same position. I rate the post but saying only $290 and then using machinery worth triple that and more is disingenuous.
DIY tools and King Gizz, what a legendary combo.
Nice to see we're now progressed from the Online Shopping Age to the Lever Age. Smart and affordable !
Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move thy Harley. ~RF9
@@FortNine A mighty long lever for many H-D's if they are like the ones I worked on for friends in the 80's. 8^)
@@FortNine They don't make levers long enough for that one.
@@FortNine fulcrum come in ! yuuuup!
@@FortNine great Archimedes quote but I wonder how many will get the reference lol
Adding an additional hinge to drop the back of the ramp back down so the rear wheel can free spin (after supporting the rear of the bike) to permit chain cleaning would be my number one mod to this. Thanks F9!
Babe wake up, FortNine just uploaded
1:30 in the morning? Yes

This is your BEST video so far. Production values, great. The opening joke, pitch perfect delivery. The comparison with other solutions, nailed it down. The music selection? FANTASTIC. And then details like the biker camaraderie and those pics of notes from old books? Just really great, man. Not to mention the value if the information given. I’m building that thing TODAY.
This is a Masterclass in TH-camr.
This is why this channel is so special. They probably could have gotten one of those companies as a sponsor and shilled the $2000 lifts. But instead they teach us how to make our own without breaking the bank. Thank you everyone at F9.
Right on man!
Hell if building a bike was easy and affordable enough, I reckon they'd probably teach us how to build a bike themselves haha
Thats the next video: homebuild lift vs (brand) $2000 lift. ThE REsulT wiLL ShOcK YOu!!!!?!?!??
@@doremonhg well, a bike is basically a bicycle with a motor... remember Ishmael?
but now I have to spend 290 dollars plus god knows what on woodworking tools I dont have
The quality of Videography, camera angles, subtle pointers, theme, music...its just so good, and all this for the most inspired message for the Biking Community. Outstanding 🙏
Incredibly well filmed as always, the premise, the execution, the entire package. Entertaining, enlightening, enthralling. Beautiful work
Here on the opposite side of ”the pond” the snow has melted, the tarmac is visible and once again, I find myself without a motorcycle, binging the videos of this channel. Must be spring.
I must say that the educational, entertainment and pure enthusiast value of this channel is off the scales. A sincere thank you to the entire team. Best Regards, TK.
Thankfully, here in the other _other_ side of the pond (Australia) we don't really get snow except for a handful of places. Winter is actually one of the best times to ride!
That was me until last weekend. My wallet is sulking in the corner now but I am very excited for summer
Watch out, bro. You keep doing that, you'll acquire a nice motorcycle, that you like. On the plus side, your riding cravings will not bother you again. Take that plunge.
@@got2kittys My motto, ”one should own just about everything” has made sure that I’m not in a position to buy a bike just now. On the other hand, the younger version is coming of age, so I should actually buy the first bike in advance, just to test drive it and make sure it’s in order…. 😇
@@clonkex I would really, really like to visit that side of the pond as well!
I know this is a motorcycle channel, but man it would be great to see y’all expand it to so much more because y’all are so great at this and could easily capture larger audiences
True. But even just staying with motorcycle content they'll likely get additional fans. Case in point: Three years ago I randomly came across the "Ishmael" video where they hang a motor on an old mountainbike and ride it over a mountain pass. I had no interest in motorcycles but since that video F9 has been in my top three channels and I've watched everything as soon as it releases :)
RF9 and his team could make a video about any topic whatsoever and it would be worth watching.
@Of3nATLAS ceramics here we come!
Did you not see the cheese episode?
I saw someone posting their own creation on a forum once - a hospital bed past it's service life with a flat metal top and a front wheel lock. The height and angle adjusters still worked but by hand. Brilliant.
This shows the true spirit of motorcycling. Creativity, a can-do attitude, and last but not least, real community.
A Fortnine video with King Gizzard! Thank you Ryan and team for this crossover! ❤
As if I needed another reason to love his content
Works. The bent over nails reminded me of building soap box karts out of skids in the early 60s. Lots of bent over nails holding the axles in. The nails were from Dads used nail bucket. Never wasted anything. Cheers 🇨🇦
No one ever considers the value of the used nail bucket.
Same. Once thought to take a shortcut and substituted roofing staples. First turning action at speed resulted in a rapid separation of front axle rebar and tricycle wheels (liberated from little sister's garage sale treasure) in a shower of staples as the front of the kart dug into the pavement.
You gave me anxietie, simply knowing through indulging ( 100 % quality ) in all you're videos over the years. I questioned how, just how will they complete this in the allocated time. Best short video of 2023 thus far. Bravo 👏 bravo. Keep them coming motorcycle brethren
Hearing King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard here was honestly an unexpected pleasure. I love this channel more with every upload. Never change guys
Thanks! I am a construction worker and literally built one for free from scrap lagging boards, unistrut, and rebar! I had everything I needed the whole time except the creativity.
This is a true modern youtube channel. Seemingly random stuffs, yet high quality.
This is brilliant, the kinds of things old manuals told you how to do that you could just do at home. Simple, effective, cheap. As it should be. Thanks for bringing this to mine and everyone elses attention.
The editing and music choice in this one is superb. Top of your game guys!
King Gizz best band for literally any kind of video on any subject
If you need a song that fits a certain vibe they absolutely have one
Yep, they nailed the song choice. King Gizz / FortNine ❤
This is the most beautifully quirky Canadian channel ever about motorcycles. And even though I don’t ride anymore I still love this channel.
Fortnine vid with King gizzard music. Am I in heaven?
I bought myself a mini bike for my birthday. Just turned 34 and havnt had a motorcycle since college. Have been watching this channel for the past five years but I feel like I can to relate to this videos....finally.
The build manual is just incredible!
I’ve been on a motorcycle for 20 min in all my life. Still watch every video Fortnine releases.
If you see a guy strapping 4 by 4 posts to his bike from Home Depot, You know he just watched Ryan's video.
I like the wide design shown at 2:02. You can use something like that with a center stand, rear stand, fork stand, or triple tree stand to remove forks, wheels, rear shocks, etc.
The King Gizz music perfect choice👍
This is better than most of the woodworking videos out there. Measurements and parts are in clear freezable frames.
Love the King Gizzard on the background!!
This should be real purpose of yt, not only diy tutorials, but remembering what real life is - spending time with loved ones, friends etc. F9 bravo for the content.
I have 2 left hands , I just bought the $799 hydraulic motorcycle lift. Not only did I save money on hour labor but I'm pretty sure I saved a couple fingers as well 😅.
Epic video!
Pretty sure you'll also be able to do work on the front and rear ends of the bike. Well, if it's a hydraulic frame lift.
@@DiscoFang yeah works perfect , I can even take out a part in the back so I can easily remove my rear wheel. 😌
Boy, this take me a back a bit. I use to have a DIY lift back in the 90’s, but after turning my love of bikes into my career I bought a proper lift. Ive been working on a Clarke Lift for the better part of two decades.
Excellent music choice. Didnt expect to hear some King Gizzard
I wish you guys still reviewed motorcycles, or products, I love your style on your videos.
King gizz, handy tutorial, and FortNine hot damn it's a good day afterall
My favorite TH-camr playing music from one of my favorite bands? A gift from the heavens
If anyone is adding the metric units next to the imperial ones I wouldn't mind downloading that one as well :D Also, big thank you F9! Great build.
Multiply by 2.54= cm
There's an app for that
timber sizes are standardised metric and imperial, and get a dual scale tape measure. It'll be good enough.
Just learn how to brain in inches and feets. Lumber/woodworking is especially well suited for these measurements. I mean, I had to learn how to brain in metric units on occasion. Seeing that the world uses both systems whether we like it or not, it isn't dumb to be able to use both.
There's always one...
Very few can produce a useful, entertaining and low cost device for motorcycles in 3 minutes. Well done!
I can't express how overjoyed I am to see the collab I never knew I needed: Fortnine and King Gizzard and the Lizzard wizard!!!
Song is "Tetrachromacy" By King Gizzard. Fun fact, they released that entire album copyright free, so it's free to use by anyone, for any reason.
Thanks mate!!
Gonna be honest you could have drawn this out to a 10-20 minute video gained all the ad revenue and still sold the plans and we all would eat it up. Instead you release a solid 3 minute 30 video that was just flat out entertaining. Bravo
Brilliant videos, without doubt the best TH-cam content! The plans look good too, will be making myself one of these this summer. Thank you 👍
At the first "If you build it....." I hit the blue thumbs up. Using that reference here is just again pure genius ....
God, how I wish more motorcycle videos were this good!
F9 is the King of the Mountain, for sure.
Thank you!
For wheel changes I typically use a ladder. with a cheap 12v boat winch mounted to a piece of wood at the top. Connect the winch to the bike's battery, then lift for wheel removal. In your vid you show the bike swinging, but this is easily remedied by straps to the ladder steps on either side.
thank you for saving me a few hundred bucks on a bike lift and providing excellent entertainment in the process. Keep up the great work Team F9!
How did he save you money...you can bike lifts anywhere for 150 bucks that offer more options.
Not trying to be mean, just honest.
I love F9 and what they do for the community but this just seems more like an ad to hang out with buddies instead of a useful project.
Simple pleasures… bikes, beer and buddies. Watching this made me smile.😊
There are alternatives to the bent-rebar front stop that may make the project more accessible. U-shaped brackets, for instance would be one way.
Anyway, great video as always!
I'd assume that the rebar is a VERY cheap option, they seem to be trying to hit a sub $300 price point.
The cheapest and most accessible solution seems to be to just do it without the front stop.
@@Tarkov. But it requires tools not everyone would have. Most of this could be done with a plain saw, hand drill and a screw driver if you wanted to. What cheap or repurposed house hold object could you use to bend rebar with?
@@Frag-ile Didn't they show how to bend the rebar in the video? He didn't use any tools other than some heat to soften it...
How about a torch and small amount arm strength?
You could build it solid too (no pivot), and use a folding loading ramp from crappy tire to get the bike on, to simplify building and keep costs down. The biggest PITA for me (when working on street bikes) is always getting the front end up and well supported to remove the forks. I've definitely done the ladder trick, as well as the rafter trick!
Perfection...again! And I love the spanner to turn the eye bolt trick, genius!
I use open end wrenches to turn eyebolts. I put one jaw through the eye and turn. Been doing that for years. Recently I cut a slot in a deep well socket, slip it over the eye and use an electric drill to run it in.
@@karlbishop7481 haha I use that really crappy "gator grip" socket full of springloaded pins for hooks and eye bolts- it's the only thing that sucker is good for
This gave everyone wood... project that everyone can love and get upon. Thanks Ryan and the F9 Crew.
This channel is a love letter to motorcycle enthusiasts. And we love you back, Fortnine.
Dito!
Thanks Ryan, cool project. Nice since so many companies don't offer a center stand any more. This even gets it off the floor!
Killing it as usual. Great work. I hope a ton of these get built. I think the next victim of inflationary pressure may be the beer fridge market!
Great vid! Love the workshop. I bet it has a lot of stories to tell. So much to take in from the overhead dental lamp, horsehead, computer work station and much more. Looks like a great place to spend time. Cheers from NB!
Nice! Thanks for the PDF and the video!!
This man could put out a video doing almost anything at this point and I would watch it great video
I‘m highly interested in two aspects:
1) Weight limit - not due to construction strenght but due to how much bike weight can an adult person hold in balance with stretched elevated arms while letting it roll uphill to the tipping point?
2) What is the advised procedure to let it down again, as that rear lever part has to be disengaged and straightened before rolling back (again: also for bulkier/taller/heavier bikes)?
It's a roll on bike lift. Nobody said anything about getting it back off.
@@caffynated552 made my day… I guess I‘ll just mount wheels and a final drive to the stand itself and ride that way 🤪
This was everyone’s thought but never determined to make a video about, yet F9 still came out on top of creativity as always.
👍👍💯💯
Really like this DIY! Excellent production
God, I love FortNine. Never what we expect, always what we need!
I know I am repeating myself, but your production values and storyline is amongst the best on TH-cam.
Allow me to correct myself. Infact, it is better than most OTT content.
I don't have a bike, nor need a lift, but if there's a FortNine video uploaded, I'm watching it.
Good concept but I can see this tipping sideways as it's very narrow. I would improve the design by adding gussets to the side of the legs for stability (or swinging outriggers with a chain to limit their extension). Then making it fold almost flat for storage along a wall by change the leg fixings to more pipe pivots, with a pin to lock them in place when in use, then it can parallelogram down. Then you can stand it on its end and tie it to the wall.
I've done 4 large ratchet straps ran to the rafters before and it worked great, had a Buell hanging from it for 3 months while I rebuilt the entire bike.
Love the plans! The one hesitation on this one is wheel removal. I wonder if you could frame out a platform to be able to get the bike onto stands on top of the lift!?
Very do-able! We toyed around with screwing a scissor jack onto the lift, but didn't want to complicate the video too much. ~RF9
It obvious now guys, Fortnine channel main element is cinematography. As usuals, its fascinating.
I'm looking for the Fortnine gloves video with a new host and I could've sworn I watched it a few days ago. Was I just trippin or what
Came here to ask the same question, video is now 'private' for me
I don't own a motorcycle - but I own a lot of mtbs and have since switched to buying everything I can from Fortnine. Mostly because the prices are very good. But also I like to think that each purchase helps feed Ryan.
Imperial measurements? Banish them from Canada....
For buildings, it will be a long time before that happens. Lumber is a shared industry between the US and Canada and the US market rules.
It's Canada, you have to respect their measurement identity, no matter how ridiculous, or face severe legal punishment. :p
You buy wood in board feet so inferial system is the way
You can learn both easily
If you don’t have the skills to convert imperial to metric maybe this build is not for you.
@FortNine How come the waterproof gloves video has disappeared?
I think they're redoing it. They had a serious error with one of their tests. The equated gasproof with waterproof.
Their demo for gasproof looked cool, but it didn't show how water proof the gloves were.
Wow, that is genius. It takes an incredibly smart person to think of such a simple design.
Or an even smarter person to spend even less money on one that is already built and gives you more options.
My only caution is sideways stability. I'd be tempted to build a wider base, but then that takes away from the small footprint
Literally every single thought that popped into my mind in considering a lift to work comfortably on my project of a motorcycle - in almost the exact order.
Sweet, was not expecting KGLW
this is the best ad for a free downloadable file ive ever seen
I did not expect King Gizzard under this video lol
As a DR owner, I approve of the cheap, simple (bent nails and rebar!) approach to this project.
Waterproof gloves went puff.
This gave me chills. Great song, great vibe, better engineering. Thanks!
Hey, I'm psychic. The next video will be about waterproof gloves. Watch this space. 😁
I REALLY enjoy your creativity and diversified topic points! At some point in each video I've watched, an involuntary wry smile is expressed on my face.
What happened to the waterproof gloves video?
Copied from earlier reply:
They messed up with equating gasproof with waterproof. They had a cool bubbling tanks with slightly compressed air inside the gloves. It looked cool but it didn't prove what they thought they were proving. The replacement video will likely fix this error.
Very satisfying to build your own. I picked up an open box harbor freight lift for $120 about 8 years ago.
Why did you guys already private your new video
Copied from earlier reply:

I can't say in words how much I like this channel
What happened to the glove episode XD
Love the intercuts of old manuals and magazines.
Didn't expect to hear king gizzarda
This is super cool. For anyone that is mechanically inclined, you can buy a really inexpensive motorcycle lift at places like harbor freight for about the same price as the materials cost shown in this video.
But definitely a really fun project.
"Top 5 Waterproof Motorcycle Gloves of 2023 - Tested" ?
I made one with a piece of thick sheet aluminum a friend had lying around. I cut it a foot longer than my longest bike, and bent 1" lip all around to fit perfectly over some milk crates I had in the shed. Then I mounted a cheap wheel chock on the end of it and made a 4 foot wide, L-bracket "arm" out of the same material that fits under the front crate to attach handlebar tie down straps. I already had a ramp to use to get the bike onto it. It weighs next to nothing and is easily stored under the roof of the carport on a cheap rack I made out of rope and plywood strips. It makes working on the bikes a lot easier, especially at my rather advanced age. I wouldn't pull a Gold Wing onto it, but it easily supports all of my sub-500 pound, 650cc and less bikes. I wish I could attach a photo.

My wood working skills improved by one while watching this and reading a cooking book
Did they upload waterproof glove video and then remove it? Or am I imagining things?
Nah it happened. (and isn't it scary how common this question is becoming?)
Most likely they saw all the feedback on their error and are doing a reshoot.
@@VarvasNukka what error did they make?
@@Androajay In the tank test they were testing waterproofness by having the gloves be in water and watching for air bubbles coming out.
Problem is that water molecules are bigger than air ones, so really the test just tells how breathable the glove is but nothing really about water resilience.
Expensive gloves are supposed to have membranes that specifically allow air through but block water, and that test showed that but was called a bad thing.
