Project CBR-PoS: Project Motorcycle Stand

Working on the bike, I realized that the front T-Rex stand was not designed for access to the front axle.  Also, because the CBR runs headers/exhaust under the belly of the bike a motorcycle hydraulic lift won't cut it.

Project Motorcycle Stand:

- Inspired by a Ducati Forum member:
- 1" steel pipe

In parts

Assembled and ready for use

Look Ma, no wheels
Parts have been ordered.

Project CBR-PoS: Assessing Rear Wheel

One of the first things that needed to be addressed was overall health of the rear rim.

pix from my phone


Not completely assessed yet, but just from removing it...
- bearings are dead
- sprocket needs replacing
* update:
- will replace the entire rim/wheel/sprocket

T-Rex stands work decent.
