ET: Engine (Twin) Engine stand

[Robert Watson]

If you have room on the floor I have a big stand that you can put the cases on to finish the engine and even bolt all the frames to it or put just the UFM on and build the cycle parts and then attach to the engine.

Tom Just built his twin on it

I modified this automotive engine stand to suit the Vincent as well as
other bike engines. Keeps the work bench clear.

Thanks for the offer Robert. I’ll give it some thought..... I have room in the basement, but unsure if I could deal with the pressure to actually complete the engine in a reasonable amount of time and return the stand. I’m considering doing another (non Vincent) project at the same time. Guarantees there is always something to do while I’m searching for parts, but obviously stretches out the timeline.

It sits out the back of my carport. You could have it for as long as you want. I don't see me building another one in the foreseeable!

I have an orphan engine stand like that and have given it some thought. It does make sense in that I wouldn’t need to worry about getting the engine off the bench. Would have to put better wheels on the stand so the hardwood floor between the bedroom and garage wouldn’t get damaged. The bride’s sense of humour does have a limit.

Could I bolt axles on it and install some rubber wheels? I should mention they are Honda lawn mower wheels in case that offends you.

They are very cheap, Often thought about one for myself, But not looking to do too much now.

There is one newly listed on the spares site which looks good. Like the pic it would work well with a scissor lift if the bench height is low.

I also have one of those Red jacks , Very handy.

Here is a poor copy of Litnman's stand that I haven't used yet:

I probably even have something. Could weld up whatever is needed.
