Title: Engine Stand
Post by: stikman on October 24, 2016, 05:32:14 PM

I recently put together this portable engine stand setup so I can build, fire up, and tune cb motors with a bit more freedom.

This motor actually came out of a cb750 I bought off Paul a few years back, he might remember it.  It was seized and had a wiped cam.  Just finished the rebuild and got it fired up on the new stand.  Here's a vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NpnBgLMIro

I like the fact that you can roll it around your shop to store it and you can push it outside and have no inside exhaust issues.
Very very nice

Exactly!  My shop is barely a 1 car garage, so work space is a rare commodity.  The thing is so versatile, and breaks down to pieces that can be stored out of the way.
