Chop Source - XS650 Engine Stand Brackets

I'm making another version of these brackets that will allow for splitting the cases. If I don't post something in the next few weeks, feel free to harass me about it.
Hey Travis, im about to do a motor tear down and was just about to get your setup. Did you happen to finish the new version that allows for splitting the cases?

Thanks
 
I'm working on it, but it's been a slow process with many other things taking priority.

The first prototype needed improvements right away to really be useable. The second is almost done and I'm hoping to send it to @Niels B by Thursday for feedback. Even if that only needs minor tweaks, it'll be several weeks before I have production inventory ready to sell. I wouldn't mind having a couple more people test out a final prototype before I make a production run of them. Send me a message if interested.

I live near @NielsB. I'll check it out there.
 
Harbor Freight may have just discontinued the cheap orange engine stand. I bought their new engine stand to make the new brackets will work with it as well (since it doesn't use slots in the mounting plate). It's a lot beefier than the old stand (but also costs more). So the new brackets will work with the old style stand, the new stand, and most other engine stands with a mounting plate that has two horizontal and two diagonal slots.

Amazing, yea I just bought this new style. I literally went in one week to price the old one. When I came back with money the new one was all they had
 
I just ordered one from the site.

If you need help experimenting with the cases split modifications, let me know. I can fab up something here or help as necessary!
