I know a few people have modified car engine stands to hold the xs650 motors. Does anyone have any good pics or drawings of the brackets that they made to modify the car stand? Preferably non welded brackets seeing as I have yet learned that skill.

Thanks, Mark
 
I just borrowed a stand from my friend.it mounted to the two holes in the back of the case where the rear engine mounts bolt up,the it has a round stock that slips into where the head of the engine cradle would go allowing the engine to be rotated.I had to remove the lower case so I remove the upper bolt (But the engine was upside down)
and rotated the engine down resting on the engine stand upright
(2x4 in between to cushion) and proceeded to remove lower case to access tranny brg.

we did this and just took some threaded 3/8th inch rod and bent it to go into the rear motor mounts, check out my build thread there are some pictures of it sitting in the stand on there. hope this helps :)
 
Hi Guys,

Do either one of you have pics of your setup? Rusty I saw the engine mounted to the engine stand in your build thread (nice job on your bike BTW) but no specific pics of the threaded rod setup you're talking about. If you have any pics I would greatly appreciate it...or even a cocktail napkin drawing, lol. Thanks, Mark
