Pete Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I quite like the look of that little disk thing that you put the centre stand on and spin it all around. I'm also now wondering if I could make my own...I guess the ingredients/recipe would be something like:- 2 circles of steel, about 300 to 400mm in width with a hole in the centre- 2 lengths of 2 or 3mm steel that will be curved into a perfect circle (pre-curved?)- lots of ball bearings- MIG welder- A nut- A bolt- Some tough rubber non-slip matting and spray adhesive to stick to the steel circlesI reckon you could sandwich the two lengths of steel between the two circles, one inside the other. Before putting the top circle on you'd put all the ball bearings in the 'canal' that the two lengths of steel have made. Put the top circle on, use the nut and bolt to make sure it stays in place, and give it a spin....Now to find someone that has a MIG welder and knows what they're doing.......

Pete Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 or this if you're a real cheap skate Looks good but one day it'd just fall on me when the side-stand snaps and I'd be trapped for weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Hein Gericke have a device which works very well - I have used it on my ST1300Demon Tweeks do something very similar but cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
