Turntable

As stella is such s beast turning her round in my crowded drive is a ball ache. Thinking of a turntable or dolly. I have a centre stand

drive is tarmac and not smooth so may be turntable better than dolly ? Cant turn in garage but need to make sure she goes in bum first

Worthwhile or waste of time

 

4mm thick round flat plate, throw on floor and place bike stand on it and swivel

 

I use the side stand as well although it's frowned upon

 

I like your thinking mate. Does the stand turn on the plate ?

 

Normally the plate will spin after a bit of use as it becomes slightly concave.

 

Just seen this ....

Nice piece of kit

 

I assume with this you bolt a top and bottom plate of the material of your choice to it

would imagine he means something like this, -

But agree @darkman suggestion is a good one and much more affordable

 

Thanks your input folks

 

The grammar and spelling is poor but I think the seller is saying he cannot spin the bike round on this drive as it's bumpy hence he's selling it. So it depends on how smooth your tarmac is Repooh. It looks like the casters on that are tiny so my guess it would only work on something like polished concrete.

 

Thank you sir, recon a turntable is the way to go. Going to go all Dilligaf and have a go building one. once I’ve spent £50 on bits and tools and bugger it up Ill then go buy one

 

Cant access link as not a sub

 

Thank you, got me thinking I can make that, found that lazy susan bearing for £12

 

Thank you for going to the trouble sir

 

I posted a link to the lazy susan bearing in post #11

 

Thats the one, thanks

 

Let me know how you get on with it, tempted to make one myself.

 

Pull it over on side stand and spin it around, no money spent.
