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/diy-lift
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.

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.
