Strength of footpeg bosses and studs

[Royboy]

Thinking of building a service stand for XS's that would allow 360 degree access around the bike. Do you think the footpeg bosses and mounting studs are strong enough to carry the full weight of the bike plus whatever stresses service work might add? I'm thinking of using those as mounting points for something like a two sided engine stand.

Opinions?

You got any drawings of your stand? I'm of the opinion that the footpeg mount bosses would hold up fine.

Drawings will follow if the concensus is positive. Seems to me the device itself would be pretty simple.

Only one way to find out

I would bet on the peg bosses being just fine to support the bike.

As I look at the 77D on my lift it looks like the weight bias is front heavy. It would need a pretty big foot print forward to be stable.
