    I have a couple of spare engines (2006 610 and 2009 CR125) sitting in my garage and I want to put them on display in my house. Been shopping around for a bench mounted rotating engine stand and I thought I would share what I have found. These stands look pretty easy to build but I don't have the welding skills or tools to do it my self.

    First we have the megabucks KTM Engine Stand which looks similar to this stand...

    The actual KTM stand sells for well over $1000 new. The stand pictured above sells for quite a bit less $$$ but is sold in Australia. More info here... http://www.dirtbikeworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=97138

    Next we have a similar stand from Greig Racing in the USA. Couldn't find price info on their website, http://www.greigracing.net/products/e-stand.html

    Here is another well thought out design from steelshoe at Rampant Racing, http://rampantracing.com/index.html

    This stand looks pretty versatile and appears to take up less bench space. This one sells for $150. Not sure if it is beefy enough for the 610 engine.

    I need to do some more looking around but the Rampant Racing stand looks like it is at the top of my list right now.

    Got the Rampant Racing engine stand. Built in the USA. Very sturdy and stable.
