Anyone know where I can pick one up? The don't look too expensive and it'll probably a lot safer/easier than just resting the engine on a 2x4 box I can make myself.
Are they worth it? Will an SOHC engine stand work?
Something like this is what I'm thinking about: http://deadcreekcycles.com/CB750-Engine-Stand_p_831.htmlthat will let me securely work on on my bench.

bumping this back up. I may just end up making that wooden box, but I was hoping that I could have bought a proper stand.

Don't look like anyone really knows about the stand.  If you are just looking for some thing to kepp the motor off the ground. I say try your wood idea first less money.  That stand don't look all that hard to make.
I made a wood crate out of wood with casters on it to store my motoer in. when I get done with my build I think I will try to rebuild my spare motor as a back up and store it in that crate. I also have car wheel dollies. Right now I have one of my motors on it works great to move it around.
Good luck if you try to build one. 
Simple if some one else can, why can't I

Yes it will work on a DOHC since the mounts are the same on both engines. Somewhere on here I have a thread that shows how to make a stand out of 1 1/8 inch angle iron, for less then $8.00.

I had seen someone built a mount that attached to a normal vehicle stand. Wish I could remember where I seen that.

 Actually I just found a bunch using google image search. This one looks fairly basic.

Thanks tools. I've seen that thread but from what I recall I'd need to weld to do it. Since I don't have that equipment then the cost to me would be much higher than $8. :-).
I didn't think that the mounts were in the same spots. That is good to know. I'll likely get one of the ones listed for the dohc engine. Although I did build a wood box tonight and think it would be reasonably sturdy for a one time use. Sent from my BlackBerry device

Hey Sees, I'm going to pick up a 110v welder in the next couple weeks and i'll build you an angle iron engine stand, no worries..... COD NF
most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handelbars to the saddle.

not to hijack but i am interested in one of these stands what would it cost me to have you send one to 62534?

Hey Easy,
Sorry I must have missed this post. Thanks for the offer dude My wood stand is working pretty good for me though. Feel free to sell them , seems like there is a little bit of demand.

The wooden box out of 2x4's is what was shown in my motorcycle mechanic's textbook. They are decidedly low-tech, but they work well, if only in a very basic mode.
On a vaguely related note, anyone own one of those bike lifts which raise them up 2-3 feet? I have considered the bike jacks, but they would require an adapter for my Voyager (to avoid crushing the exhaust pipes), and they only raise it up 12-18 inches. It would be sooo much easier if the bike were 3 feet up, or so, off of the ground. A luxury, I know, but it would make my life much easier. Cheers!

The SOHC, and DOHC engine mount holes are all in the same places, so I do not know why this particular stand will not work on the DOHC. The engine stands I make fit all the SOHC, and DOHC engines. There is a thread here somewhere that tells how to build one.
