I don't know if you already did this, or if someone else already mentioned it, but I just thought about putting a piece of plywood under each wheel when you back it up. The plywood could be the same thickness as the height of the turn table to raise the bike up the height of the turn table. Then it would be easier to raise the bike on the center stand, if you even need to to do it. Great idea for the turn table. Thanks for sharing!
I have one and it was great to turn my fairly big 1290 SA around in a small single garage in Germany...I bought it from the UK actually, great bit of kit. It’s aluminium top & bottom with about 2-3mm HDPE between them. Frictionless. Checker plate on the top. Total height around 7mm. Used it for 3 years no problems.

Good job! I would love to be able to use one of these myself for my ATAS, but I haven’t got enough space inside, nor outside my shed, to spin the big beast around. Great idea though.👍
Thank for the tip about M6 bolts so 6.5mm hole. If you had not pointed this out I would have done my usual "3 holes OK but 1 needing messed around with".
forgot to mention that my centre stand chewed up the rubber mat. I will probably scrape it off at some point. The advantage of making the turntable the size of yours is that it makes the rubber mat less important.
bangonthedoortwice Wow that is a great compliment.. Thank you so much. My mate jimmy who you see in some of the videos he also as the africa twin he is from liverpool. So i might hold you to that..
Having watched this I am now making the same thing for my Africa Twin. I believe the bearings need to be greased. If so what grease did you use. Many thanks, love the videos
Thanks buddy. Ironically I have just come out the garage after using it to turn the bike around ready to head off the weekend 5 yrs on and still does the job Rivets hopefully will be strong enough. I would go stainless steel rather than aluminium. Good luck buddy 👍👍
@@WulfOnTheRun Hope you enjoyed your weekend ride, terrible weather over here atm, so sadly no biking for me. My chequer plate arrived this morning and i can confirm that the pop rivets (through the smaller holes)of the lady susan) worked perfectly. Glad to know that yours is still working after so many years of use. Tim
Exactly that. The bike only has a 16 litre tank and that jerry holds 3 just incase. Used it twice. Tool tube made from sewer pipe one end glued cap the other a screw cap. Brackets made to fit bike.
Hello,Thank you for answering,we must make landmarks painted(yello,red) on the plateau to center the feed of the center stand ;Sorry for the language am french Avignon south of france, Freindship Motarde, V :-)
Reminds me of Doogal on the Magic Roundabout... lol 😂, ps, when you manoeuvre motorcycle, kick the side stand up, and flip flops going to get U 1 day... 👍, goodluck...
Hello. Excellent video and will be fabricating this for my GS. Can you help with the following clarifications: 1. The plate - would a stainless steel (5mm thick) plate work? 2. Can welding work instead of using bolts? Or would you recommend bolts / rivets Thanks a ton.
Hi Tom. Yes stainless would work great. Has for welding I think it would be ok. But the lazy Susan bearing is mild steel galvanised. You may have to grind off the galv to make it stick together. Be aware that welding galvanised. Spits and gives off cyanide gas. Someone did say the other week they did use rivets through all the all holes. Good luck mate hope it works out for you. I'm still using mine after a few years
Drew Iliffe Hi Drew i got it from ebay mate. Find enclosed link but they also sell them at bunnings👍 rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F282640910819
Hey you must be physic. I literally used it on Wednesday to turn the bike around in the garage. Plates gone a bit rusty. But greased the bearings and working well. Thanks for the comment 👍👍
@@WulfOnTheRun nice! You dont happend to know the dimension do you. I'm looking to build one big enough for two motorcycles and a work bench, enough room to get around em any ideas help alot

Good idea. Would be a perfect idea if it was a permanent fixture, so has it was a full platform.
Chhers buddy 👍👍
Great success! Congratulations.

I got the idea from an old guy in the UK. Very Handy tool 👍👍
Nice job, i really need one, same problem! Thx for the demo.
ive had guys mention doing the same on a piece of hard cardboard?
Great idea and great videos .... really enjoy all your videos 👍🏼... keep them coming

Thanks Ajai will do buddy 👍👍

Great job this is just what I need to move my triumph tiger 955i around because it’s a heavy bugger 😂
Cheers Nigel. Yes Certainly makes it easier 👍👍
nice job buddy ...subscribed
Thanks buddy.

Loving your videos mate! If ever you're in Liverpool ill buy you a beer!

Wow that is a great compliment.. Thank you so much.
My mate jimmy who you see in some of the videos he also as the africa twin he is from liverpool. So i might hold you to that..
Is your mate jimmy the evertonian, if your ever over here let us know I'm from the the great city of Liverpool also
Ged Miley
Yes mate both trev and jimmy from liverpool and are everton supporters

Nice idea.
Thanks Dennis

I just put a bix of axel grease on it Peter. Still working well
very clever!
Cheers Chuck 👍👍
Nice one mate
Cheers Buddy 👍👍
Great vid. I'm making one this week and will try using rivets instead of bolts. Fingers crossed i see no reason why it shouldn't work.
Thanks buddy. Ironically I have just come out the garage after using it to turn the bike around ready to head off the weekend 5 yrs on and still does the job
Rivets hopefully will be strong enough. I would go stainless steel rather than aluminium. Good luck buddy 👍👍

Well done & thanks. Please tell me about the fuel jerry can and tooltube below.
Exactly that. The bike only has a 16 litre tank and that jerry holds 3 just incase. Used it twice.
Tool tube made from sewer pipe one end glued cap the other a screw cap. Brackets made to fit bike.
@@WulfOnTheRun Most excellent resourcefulness. Would love a simple video on secure mounting. Thanks for sharing Wulf.
Mr Wolf are you a Brit living abroad? What’s in the black tube under the extra fuel can on the rear left side? Nice video
Thanks Ernie yes mate from UK living in Melbourne Aus. The tube is where I keep my tool kit
Hello,how much diametre is the iron plate ands its thickness.
Good vidéo thank you, France
Hi max its 400mm and 5mm thick

Thank you very much@@WulfOnTheRun ... will let you know how the fabrication works out.
would be a good idea to run a file over the bolt before taking the nut off .. or you might have trouble getting the nut back on :)
nice one ganna make one .....
Great stuff Paul 👍👍
Nice
Making a turntable today and following your design but I have tapped the plate and bolted from the underside.
Nice one and yes great idea.. Saves fiddling with nuts 👍👍
😷👍
Great idea , does it still work 3 years later please
It does but i now have a project car in the garage. Its a bit tight to spin it. 😄
@@WulfOnTheRun excellent
Where did you buy the lazy susan?

Wulf On The Run Thanks, I just fitted a centre stand so this can be another project for me.
Tell all the manufacturers to put center stands on all bikes.
YES, and decent front mudguards while they are at it..... oh, shaft drive as standard would also be good....
How is it holding up 6 years later?
Hey you must be physic. I literally used it on Wednesday to turn the bike around in the garage. Plates gone a bit rusty. But greased the bearings and working well. Thanks for the comment 👍👍
@@WulfOnTheRun thanks for the reply! Big like for your video. Cheers.
How big is your garage?
Hi Eathan
2 car garage. But it also as a drive through single at the rear. 👍👍
@@WulfOnTheRun nice! You dont happend to know the dimension do you. I'm looking to build one big enough for two motorcycles and a work bench, enough room to get around em any ideas help alot
@@ethanintheelements2528
6mtrs x 6mtrs

Good job but surely it's easier to stick the plate to the lazy susan rather than faffing with nuts and bolts.
Sticking would of been a good idea if the lazy Susan was as big as the plate. But twerking 300kgs didn't want to take any chances.
Thanks buddy ,
overkill my friend I use a piece of cardboard and it works the same
Tony Stadele
Wow cardboard 👍👍

Terrible reason to move to Aus
Now you have to learn how to turn down the music when the video starts!!!!
Haha. I know I did. Got chewed on this a few times..lol
Wakes you up though yeh 👍👍
