Default Home Depot Motorcycle Stand

Mostly because I am bored and impatient I decided to make a motorcycle stand for my F4i.

I know you cant remove the rear tire the way I made spools but I have an overhead lift for when I need to do that, this is mostly for storage, clean and lube the chain, washing etc..

Total of parts from plumbing isle $38. I did take the whole setup to my welder to tack in place once I had it just right. I was originally drilling pins to hold the fittings from turning.

It is very stable and should last a long time.

Seriously right? Congrats on the well made product! Any possibilities of a write up? Parts, Part #'s, etc from Home Depot? Also how much was it to weld the pieces?
