Yet add "180 degree" headers; then you'll get the sound of the notorious Cosworth V-8... - SIMPER-FI !!!

I don't imagine that a guy who can even conceive of a V8 Duc would be happy with just any old bike stand. That one is an elegant beauty though. It shouldn't be a difficult structure for a gearhead to build. Some square tubing from the crops bin at your local metal shop, the aforementioned angle grinder & digital calipers, a 3/8 drill, maybe some plywood & 2 X 4's for jigs & some good casters. Cut, grind, drill & jig it all up & if you don't have a welder, the guys down at the metal shop can weld it up for you. You may even be able to barter something to pay them (beer & pizza? Home made cake?....?) Make sure that you paint it, even if from a rattle can. It's not a cool tool until it's painted. Think of it as a gearhead merit badge project! rafe03 Hey Stu!
