I am wondering what you guys use for a work stand ?
Jack Stands
Box under the Skid Plate
I have been using a wood box under the skid plate but its hard to get the three wheeler lifted up and the box under it.
What do you guys use ? Suggestions ?

Thanks

I have one from harbor freight that works well. Also you can lock the pins in and use it to store your wheeler off of the ground. I think you can find them on sale around $100

I use this one:

Depending on what you're working on, this one works well. It isn't quite as convenient as a lift, but getting my 350X and Auto-X onto the stand isn't too bad. I lift the front wheel off the ground and use my foot to scoot the stand under the skid plate, then lower the wheel.

If you're good with lifting, then this is a cheap way to get the machine up in the air. Probably wouldn't work with a heavier machine like a Big Red, unless you are strong enough...

Look no further. If I know anything. I know this thing is sano. I use it far more than my lift ;). Harbor always has a 20% off coupon,usually you can find a 25% off. Spend the cash, you will never regret it. Yes, it is HF,but I have been astonished with mine.

Ok :(....well edit.... I guess I have the holy grail. It appears they don't make them anymore..I searched hi and low for you guys.HF doesn't have them at all anymore. And this is the only pic I can find on the entire interweb.Damn,,,,I was gonna get a couple more too. Guess I'll have to fire up the welder if I ever want another.Well, here it is, it'll fetch a Can Am 1000 right up in the air,waist height, and hold it there for weeks,strapped on safe as can be.3 wheelers are no challenge! Don't hardly need to bend over to drop the oil ;)
