    Trike stands

    Ok well I know you have em... and well.. I need a few aswell. I want to get an idea what works best. Im not looking for the big lifts, more along an MX bike stand.

    What heights and brand stands do you all use for your garage queen OEM bikes to keep weight off the OEM tires and suspension.

    Seems some of the MX ones are really tall and the top survace is usually only a 8 - 9" square.

    I use the plastic crates that those large water bottles that go into the cooler at work come in. They're the perfect height to get the wheels just a couple of inches off the ground and are strong as heck.

    Not that many anymore, they changed water suppliers and now they get different ones that won't work for this. Many businesses that supply their employees with water will have the ones I've got. If you need a pic I can snap one for you.

    You should come up this winter and ride the ice with us.

    Imay have to. I have a shee up there for trails. I grew up riding on greenwood and uppergreenwood lake. Im actually looking for a 1st gen T3 flat tracker/icer!! I picked up short track fooler stuff. I wanna do a 2nd gen R flat tracker, though Im worried about dialing the jetting for the high revs.

    Any how pm me a pic when you get a chance. Anyone else have any stands?

    I have used coolers, jack stands, a mechanics chair, cynder blocks, friends (jk), a winch mounted in the ceiling and, real stands. The winch was the best and the mechanics chair was a close second. Well, besides the real stand.
