A wooden centerstand, cool. I have a tablesaw, I think I can get the blocks to fit Juuust right. Thanks for the idea. This is gonna make oil checking & topping off easy.
Yep. Pieces of wood don't eat much and you can't hurt 'em.
Check my T- shirt photo in this topic and you can just barely see the 2 x 12's sticking out under my bike.
If you have a table saw then you have no excuse not to have "utility" boards

Yes, I do. I just got it & havent even plugged it in yet.Well, I got it a couple weeks ago, Havent had a chance to get to the lumber yard. I have almost no experience with this kind of tool. Enough to be safe but nowhere near enough to do anything that matters. Got a 10" table saw & 10" radial arm saw for 35 bucks each! So, I took them,,Bought a bunch O stuff & sure got a whale of a deal.

No experience?
They are used. Might be a good price, but te careful with those. Don't try to cut anything fast until you know everything about them. Take your time.
Those saws can bite you or kick you. I know.
...then cut you a Poor Man's Jack

it's not poor engineering, it's
cheap
engineering.
I can kneel, hold the biek upright and check the oil level on the savage and my V* 1100, but then again, I'm a realatively young male.
screw center stands (though they do make draining oil and NOT making a huge mess easier).
The spark plug trap door [i]is[/s] a nightmare. I can get in there w/o taking the tank off, but it's a PITA.
