Great! Right back at ya!

Definitely.

What I built was not for storage, but it probably wouldn’t be too much work to figure out how to make that work.

Of course.

Of course! Glad it was helpful! Super simple too.

Of course! Let us know how it goes!

You're very welcome! You saw my dirt backyard. Those Austin Powers turns got so old so quick! Love hearing that this little lazy susan did the trick for your Honda.

That’s great to hear! Ya it saved me a 6+ point turn every day. And I had a light bike. Super handy in tight spaces. Not sure what you’re riding but the next one I build, I’ll prob go with a sturdier wood which will definitely bring the price tag up. Nice thing too is the lazy susans we’re using are rated at 1000lbs so great for most bikes. Safe ridin!

For sure. Just depends on your setup. Me rolling up on dirt, it would never push enough that I couldn’t mount the thing. However if you’re on a smooth surface, I can see that. Easy fixes there though. 45deg cut being one of em.

Slightly modded 2007 Honda Shadow VT750. I hated the tank paint jobs on those things and was lucky to find one where the previous owner already took care of that.

That will entirely depend on the strength of the materials...namely the wood. I noticed my 2x12 pine wood (softwood) would bow a bit under the weight of me and my bike (combined about 750lbs). So between your 800lbs bike and your weight, what do you think? Might need a hardwood (oak, hickory, etc) although it will be more expensive. Whichever way you go, let us know if you end up building one!

I have a Harley Dyna Fat Bob and added angle iron to the underside of the 2x12.

I got mine on Amazon but I’m sure you could find a heavier duty one at Home Depot or Lowe’s or something.

Thanks 👍

If you give me credit in the description on RUclips and link to the original video here, go ahead!

Yeah totally could do some kind of rails. I went for lowest effort and cheapest I could get away with. It certainly lasted the 18 months of daily use. But this is also California and didn’t get much rain so didn’t have to worry about warping.

Yup and that was the goal. Lowest level of effort but gets the job done. But your approach would be a nice long term solution. If you do it you’ll have to share a link if you post photos or vids publicly.

The truth is that the man ran out of gas and the bike spins on without him.

@@BenRenschen hahaha! Thanks for the idea.

Totally! Thought about that woulda been a pain for my backyard based on where I had to park bc I’d have to get off and back on just to spin it and park.

@@BenRenschen very true!! Lol.

Great question but I moved a couple years after. I got a solid two years out of it though. And it probably could’ve gone for a bit longer. But I also lived in LA where weather was pretty reliable and not too often “bad”. So many factors to consider but if you end up testing it out in adverse weather I’d love to hear your experience.

Thanks Gary!

Hey Aaron - Check the description for a link. Otherwise look up “1000lbs capacity lazy susan”

easy to build with the right tools! Lazy Susan is in the description! I got mine on Amazon but hardware stores should also have, just need to call around a bit.

@@BenRenschen Thank You Sir; I think I'll round up all the parts & take it to a friend & say "do This" I can't even make clay Ashtrays.

@@thuringervonsausage5232 haha good thing otherwise you might’ve ended up with a ceramic lazy susan!

Thanks Jimmy! Works like a charm if you pick a strong enough wood to support your bike weight!

And thank goodness for them. They work wonders without breaking the bank.

Awesome man. Love that!!

Awesome. Love to hear that!

Worth it!

Ya so that was actually something I considered as I was thinking about buying an adventure bike while I built but couldn’t figure an easy solution that also didn’t cause a problem for the height. If you work out a solution, please let me know. I’d love to see how that could possibly be engineered.

Your welcome. Out of curiosity, what makes you say that about torx?

Awesome, Matt. Let me know how it goes.

The best solution is the one that works. So if you try this and it’s a success, you can resell your dolly!

I bought one of those, too. Used but unused (know what I mean?) for a $100. It pained me royally too because it took up too much space, and it actually moved forward as I was trying to get the bike onto it. Those casters don't lock. Happily, some sucker bought it off me for $120.00. My bike CTX700, weighs 500 lbs wet but even at my grey age I can still maneuver it backwards into its parking space, and ride it out. Smooth garage floor, though. Not like Ben's backyard.

@@aloisius4188 Yes, the good news is it can be stood on its side next to the wall when not in use, but I will soon no longer need it. I am planning on getting a 3-wheeled scoot. I am leaning toward the Spyder, since I travel a lot when the weather is nice. It has reverse, my favorite feature. LOL

If that’s the case I probably wouldn’t use pine wood. That bike was 584lbs and the top board on my build bowed a bit when mounted. In your scenario it would probably scrape a concrete floor when rotating to the point of being a problem/nuisance. Though maybe there’s some low profile casters that are strong enough for the underside of the ends of the top board. You could always try it with cheap materials and add your base/bottom board if necessary.

Of course. Good luck on your build if you're doing it.

Thanks!

@@BenRenschen your welcome, I'm going to use it on another application, creating a box shed 360 go round

@@michaelquintana7553 that’s a good idea. I’ve seen another guy do that. He had his bike shed in his backyard but little more than a walking path to get his bike in and out. Have fun on the build!

@@BenRenschen jajajaja will try

Thank you!

Of course!!!

Sure it I's it didn't cost him nothing but my dad's time in the wood power tools

Haha. Good q but don’t remember. It’s four years after the fact and you’re asking about a micro decision. Could’ve been lack of experience or just that I like measuring things.

@@BenRenschen Ah, no worries. I thought I may have missed something.

@@bsamusic You definitely didn't miss anything! I'm probably missing some brain cells though.

That’s awesome!! Thanks for sharing. How’d your build turn out??

@@BenRenschen turned out great. Thanks for your video

@@Burgerdog75 love to hear that. And you’re very welcome.

@@BenRenschen @burgerdog75 TikTok

Amazing. Yup, as you can see that was my issue too!

Thanks, Tim. I appreciate that you "get it".

Thanks! Ya steel frame would've put me over budget both in material and rust protection. But if you go for it please share! My next build, I'd definitely consider a steel frame and weather "proofing". My bike is fairly light (584lbs wet), and it lasted well over a year before I had to move and didn't need the turntable anymore.

Thanks James!

And a good one at that. If I still lived there I prob would give that go.

That’s a great idea. My challenge with that was that uneven ground so I needed the 8ft board to bow towards me when mounting and level off as I spun. That said I bet there could’ve been some other tweaks that would make grounding the preferred method and not very expensive.

Ya that million point turn was the main enemy! Enjoy the build. I'd love to see a pic when you're done building.

Of course. Super easy and cheap was the priority!
