Very good. It has always been a bugbear of mine that so many bikes don't come with a centre stand as standard (and the same with cars that don't have a spare wheel + jack). Never mind, it probably does the manufacturers balance sheet a favour....
I never thought of using a hydraulic jack to raise the rear just a little. I wish NCX's came with a centre stand as a standard fix, but in any case I've lowered mine, so a standard one would not fit. Thanks for this. That will do before I try putting the Scottoiler on the NCX. And I have the other bike on the market, so that will do for that one, too. :-)
A center stand is a must on any adventure / touring bike. Not just lubricating the chain but many more maintenance jobs as well as loading luggage etc. Just saying.......
andree hammerschmidt - I decided against a centre stand for Wendy’s CB500X as it has been lowered (she is a shorty). I didn’t want to compromise the ground clearance further with a centre stand. But I DO have one on my NC.
A piece of tube in the box section where the bolt goes through would make it stronger & last longer, wish I had something like this for Trumps when I had him.
Fagan Fulton - hmm. Possibly. But that would mean it would not fold up. But it’s way strong enough. It’s only holding up a few kg of weight on this “3rd point of contact”. I can shake the bike with both hands and it remains rock solid.
I bit the bullet mate went to honda and asked how much for a centre stand ? The first place quoted me 400+ and none in australia hmmm might be a while before this happens ,anyway looked on flee bay at all the chinese ones and decided to ring another honda dealer on the other side of town wow 250.00 from melbourne genuine honda part ordered on friday arrived at the store on wednesday i know who ill be dealing with , however i would still like to make one of those as you never know when you might need it so can i ask for the dimensions from you ie: lengths and size of tube and channel you used i have threaded rod from some distant project ive done and clark rubber and bunnings are just down the road for a foot and bolt .
crispernator - stand specs? It’s not all that critical. I used scrap I had in the shed. 25mm box section of 1.6mm wall thickness. Length ? Total length to lift the bike. Wendy’s bike is lowered so hers fits her bike. The stand is in two parts mainly to aid storage. You could just use a single length of whatever to prop up the back wheel while the bike is on the centre stand.
Out of experience: you are going to need a bigger, broader foot to prevent the weight of the bike pushing the foot into soft ground, like dirt or grass.
Love your workmanship and videos. But why can't you just move the bike back and forwards to oil the whole chain.... I've been doing that and it is not difficult at all.... Plus, now her bike is 250 grams heavier... Just sayin.
Gday mate i have never seen anything like that before watching that video again ,mmmaaaaaatttttttteeeeeee what are you doing with that grinder you got a good vice there use it or you will be known as the three fingered nc750 stuff . Anyway it could be a good solution to my problem for now grrrrrrr honda .

Might have to knock one up for my bike. Great vid. Thanks!
I have a center stand but might make one anyway because it looks cool. Great job, thanks for sharing
Very well made and looks professional. Thankfully my NC750X has a centre Stand
Homemade snap jack! Great work!
Well... that's just excellent. Painted red it looks like it came direct from MX-Store. Well done again. :-)
Brilliant, thanks for sharing.
You are a genius. Thank you so much for the video.
Brilliant Mate!

Good work, wish I'd saved the money on a centre stand and made one of these myself.
You as usual inspire people to rely on themselves, I really want to try welding machine
Can't beat making your own 😎
Well done mate 👍
Nice !!! Like a Snapjack. Good Onya.
Excellent, thanks!
Excellent !.
That is an awesome idea.
Safety first

I was thinking the same. Never heard of this technique
Da hora!
Tome like....
Impressive! Both the tool and the workmanship :)
Please note I avoided the obvious, but tempting, tool joke...
CaptainCranky - ha! I’m first to agree I’m the biggest and dumbest tool in the shed!
great,
thanks.

Fair enough however I really don't want to miss it on my bike anymore, since I categorize it as the most important accessory.
A piece of tube in the box section where the bolt goes through would make it stronger & last longer, wish I had something like this for Trumps when I had him.
Fagan Fulton - hmm. Possibly. But that would mean it would not fold up. But it’s way strong enough. It’s only holding up a few kg of weight on this “3rd point of contact”. I can shake the bike with both hands and it remains rock solid.
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff not as a replacement for the box but like a crush tube to stop binding and the hole elongating?
Fagan Fulton - oh right. Understand
Nice work
Genial !!!!!
Thanks
Awesome
Very nice
ultimate tool shop safety, you need to buy a vice lol
Priestly Lotus - ha! Not entertaining to watch “safe” work!
Lol, this should be a safety video on how to use shop equipment as unsafely as possible... Cool idea and nice build, though!
Ha! Thanks. It’s proved it’s worth as we use it when on tour to oil the chain.
Cool
Great product for your bumm
Muy buen accesorio Felicidades, tienes en venta Para una Africa twins $$
Imagine if this guy used both hands!...
tucobenedico - ha! That would lead to twice as many mistakes!
😀👍👍👍
hope your side stand is stable

6:06 be careful not to get you hand pinched by that V shaped part. You should not push it from so close to the middle.
Good video mate but im a member of the S.W.A (shithouse welders association ) so mine would not be as neat as yours .
crispernator - ha! Great club. Be proud ! I’m in the club next door - smells like shithouse welders.
I guess I'm a member of the SWA, but I'm a great grinder!!!
Out of experience: you are going to need a bigger, broader foot to prevent the weight of the bike pushing the foot into soft ground, like dirt or grass.
Out of experience I’ve found this one to be fine.
Thanks.

Now if you have any ideas for a small homemade jack system to lift my KLR650 ...... :-)

Jesus man. I just use a bloody stick. Easy peasy.
Jay Whoisit - yes a stick is way more practical but not as fun to make! 🤪
I just made a centre stand for my Yamaha XV250. Can't even buy one. Didn't you just put a centre stand on your bike the other week.
Michael Andersen - this is Wendy’s CB500X that doesn’t have a centre stand

crispernator - ha! Only professionals are careful with tools. Anyway, fingers grow back don’t they ?
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff only if you can get them stitched back on quick like me hahaha
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff not expensive have a look on flee bay you could make some money there
My kind of rider. If you can make it, why pay a Russian guy ?
you could have shown the last ten seconds of how you use the jack instead of recording yourself making it.
are you lonely in your shop.
Oh! I didn’t realise I had forced you to watch. So sorry.
so much effort. useless. buy some 5$ old crutches and cut it. work done.
Ok. But we’re is the fun in that? 🤔
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff if this is a hobby sure why not. Iam happy to ride in my free time ;)
