I was having some issues with my bike at high RPM on my ride today, so I wanted to see what was going on, I looked around my shop for materials to build a quick tech stand and came up with this:

it seemed to work out well for me, got my problem fixed and I had a nice ride.

My way I have hooks from the ceiling. I like your stand though I don't have to clean the garage to get to my stand then.

Engine stand turned bike stand....

I have always been hanging my bikes from the rafters with tie-downs to work on them. Pain sometimes but gets the job done.

I came upon a Park bench mount stand, tried to figure out where to put it but had nothing that would hold a bike, or allow you to have full access on both sides of the bike.

So I was doing a build and got frustrated with my bike swinging back and forth as it whacked the side of my head when I remembered the park mount.

Real quick like I mounted it to a old engine stand and it works great. I can even wheel the bike around which is great in limited space like I have.

Here's one, same idea, just steel pipe and some angle iron instead of PVC.
I like Dave's idea of mounting casters, maybe removable ones. This one slides easily on a concrete floor and it stays attached.
I've done engine tests on it so I know it's secure.
