Title: Centre stand width on a FZS1000?
Post by: FazerRuss on 06 March 2013, 10:04:25 am
I've not got my bike at work today, and I'm trying to come up with a design for a turntable to faciliate getting the bike in and out of the garage.

I don't suppose someone knows (of can quickly measure) the centre stand width?

Thanks

All done,  well,  aside from getting a bit of rubber matting on the top and bottom.

Our mechanical division at work had an old test spade (flat disc with a handle)  that they cut the handle off and sent down to me.

Perfect size,  strength and thickness.

Drilled 4 blind holes and riveted the bearing to the disc.  Jobs a good 'un.

Works a treat,  I've tried it already!

All for the princely sum of £7.  Certainly beats paying £110 8-)

Thanks for replying!  I appreciate it's  not the most exciting topic in the world,  but I'm very excited that I no longer have to wrestle my bike around,  and it hasn't cost be stupid money!

ah yes....thats to do with my "stuttering fzs600 fazer "thread......still not sorted,took the head off to re-grind the valves due to low compression....made no difference to the stutter so probs a bit over keen...so everytime one of my toys breaks down i can hear a voice in my head saying     "off with his head"   :lol :lol
