Don't Stop Now

From the time I purchased the new flywheel I made the decision that when the bike was running properly, since I had spent all of this time and money, I might as well rebuild the bike and ride it myself.

While I had been searching ducatipaso.org for solutions I ran across a very interesting blog of a guy in Canada who races and rebuilds Ducati's. His name is Steve Munro and his web site is loudbike.com.

Steve's blog has inspired me to rebuild my 750 Sport. Steve has several images of a engine stand that he uses during his bike rebuilds.

The stand is fixed and mounts directly to the several motor mounts. The stand has wheels so the partial assembled bike can be rolled around.

For my up-coming rebuild I thought it would be great to build my own version of this stand. I wanted a stand that could be raised and lowered for easy installation and during the dis assembly and assembly of various bike components.

Here are a few images of my stand.
