can someone tell me the dimensions for an aluminum bike stand?

just buildin my own stand and need the specs.

well, measure the bottom area of your bike, and figure out how high you want it.

Make the top about 6 inches larger each direction.. That'll make it an easier target to hit when you are tired.

k. i just started making one thats 16 inches high and the platform is 9 inches square.

im going to make the inside for putting oil and stuff in.

Depends on the brand, grab the one that you use and check.

Wait a minute, you are worried about a stand and don't have a bike yet? I'm a little confused.

i made my own stand out of alum as well 16" high x 10" square top, however now i need to rivet a piece of rubber to the top so make setting the old hoss down easier on the paint on the frame.

Haha, I just made one too!!! I was gonna go with 16'' high but I wouldn't have enough metal for it...So I went with 15" which will be high enough for my bike. If not, I'll just weld some feet on it to make it a little higher! But all in all, its built like a tank... I betcha it could hold 500 pounds easy :)
