Trike Stands

[ringdingrider]

so im sitting here staring at my trike in the living room thinking how nice it would be to have a stand for it.

ive been searching for awhile and cant find any designs for a stand. I have a guy...Harold Furo at Furo Racecraft that does all my custom work on my ford lightning....the guy can make anything. so i called him up n he told me to draw something up and we can go from there.
id like a stand for the trike to sit on in the garage as i work on it or store it, possibly with caster wheels to slide it around as needed. this trike will be done soon and ill be building atleast 2 more.

i want a stand that balances the trike by hugging the frame somehow. my frames are all 85-86 250Rs.

once i have something made up and if it works well, we could easily pop out more if othes are interested. not sure how long itll be til ones done but i will be taking to this project very soon.

if anybody has any stands or ideas or tips that would be great.

I just copied a motorcycle stand design and fabbed up my own...

Embarrassed....... 5 gal pails here. I cover them with cloth if presentation is an issue. I've been eyeing up the aluminum stands offered at Harbor Freight. They're still not as economical as my pails.

im GREEN i use blocks of wood (lol) my friend had a cool setup for his quad but i think he sold it with the quad

I use a pail also. The square kitty litter pails work great.(tidy cat I think). for changing the rear tires I have a modded swingarm stand that works well.

Need a stand for the Tiger 500. Kitty litter pail won't look too kosher at the races. LOL

In your signature pic, I always thought the 250R was sitting on your stack of Ohtsu flat-track tires. Is it actually sitting on a 5 gal. pail, and the tires are there to mask the disgusting, unsightly pail?

5 gallon bucket or milk crates. But if you have Harold making you a stand it should be worthy of the living room, make sure you give Harold hell about the sheep

lol yea i used to use my old rims. but id like a nice sturdy aluminum or chromoly stand that will look nice and be functional for my rebuilds or workin on my trikes. harold does amazing work. and i know it wont leave his shop til its perfect. once i get one done ill post up n see what everyone thinks.

lol ill give harold plenty of . ill be there most of next week workin on my truck. we are building a custom aluminum intake manifold right now and doin a crazy build

Bhahahahahalolololol

Nah, but seriously... I have been using a milk crate, but have a bunch of 5 gallon buckets that I will probably start using. I have 2.5 three wheelers in my living room/ kitchen so it's not the bucket that is going to make me look like a redneck.

LOL, that's funny I completely forgot about that sig pic. Right under my nose too....
I did that one time for that picture, like one might of done at a race back in the day. (??? IDK)
Anyway, ya can't see it, but there is a towel on top of the Ohtsu's to keep from getting scrapes when I tilted the bike on top. Those tires are now in the rafters. Going to Harbor freight today in Madison. Might pick up a stand or two??

I use a "x" stand designed for a TRX250R. It has nylon straps up top, but I always lay carpet down. It is light weight, but I am unsure on prices as this one was given to me. They CAN'T cost that much, can they?????

I use the base from an ezlift chair. It's an electric lift and works perfect for getting the machine off the ground.

I put mine up on a 5 gal pail on all 3.
