I am having a guy build/weld a stand for me. Does anyone have suggestions on the length? I have a three seater, so I need it to be able to hold that, but I also work on my little one seater.

36 is good , 48 is better. 19-24 bunk width, 30" wide wheelbase. just my suggestions.

That's exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

i built mine out of wood, and put some castors i had laying around on the bottom. it holds my XL1200 with no problem at all. just a little suggestion because wood would be cheaper and easier

I made one out of wood already too, but I have this resource (the welder) available, so I would like one that is easier to disassemble when I'm not using it. My current one makes it really hard to work on the intake and rideplate. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Yamaha760, another suggestion would be not to skimp on the castors. Get a good set that will last.

Yamaha760, email me I made about a half a dozen out of aluminum last year.. aluminum is the only way to go. I got your measurements with pics.
go to my web page and check out the one my gpr is on...
QuickMicks homepage. small but to the point.....

Edward701, I would really appreciate the measurements. That's a good looking ski.

Carb Adjuster Bracket looks awesome!!!Nice job Mick..

Thanks guys, the knobs on the remote lines were store bought from sears hardware. They attach with a set screw. I could not of made them for 2 bucks each.
My Tuner made the remote adjusters I just made the brackets.
