nahhh, i'll tell you whats better than milk crates or a bucket...
You know those little hard plastic step stools from Lowes or Home Depot?
Those acutally work good as a stand, and if you haul your bike in a truck, its also good to unload with haha

Most of mine bend in and collapse with my big bikes, Work awesome for minis tho. Or maybe I just need some heavier ones.
I'd like to try the ones from lowes you guys are talking about tho. I was just in their tonight!

I wouldnt put the bike on that if its wet even with the paint protecting it..nice design for sure but you should have atleast gone for plywood im thinking.
Posted 05 December 2008 - 02:45 PM
gah, if i made the top of our wood stand more than 15 inches id have no back left. I can barely get my yz250 on it, and i cant imagine anything above 15 inches.
Posted 05 December 2008 - 02:48 PM
haha yeah, its 18 inches, getting my kx up their isnt a problem, but the xr80 and my pitbike require some extra effort. lol
