DIY Bike bench

The top and back support panels of the stand pivot and form the ramp for rolling the bike on to the table. With a heavier bike, you will definitely want to be sure you have a fair amount of room for the approach in which to build up some speed, otherwise you'll find that you can't push the bike far enough up the stand to go over center and have the stand top return to horizontal.

Bike table

After rolling the bike up, secure it with tie downs to some metal eye bolts bolted on through the sides of the table. You should also use a hook and eye to secure the back support panel to the side so that it can't be accidentally kicked out of place. You will need to have a wheel chock or wheel stop at the front edge of the top of the table to keep the bike from rolling off when you roll your bike on to the table. Put the chock as far forward as possible so you can be sure the bike's center of gravity goes past the top's fulcrum point.

Bike table

If you have a heavy bike such as a Harley Davidson or cruiser, we would suggest beefing up the frame for the base as opposed to just using the few cross braces mentioned in the instructions We would suggest adding additional braces too.
