Default Quick and useful
I built a couple of wood stands for my 12RGC so I could hold it upright and sit on it or clean it - what have you. You need a couple of pieces 3/4 plywood 10" long and 6" wide, 4 pieces of 2X6 10" long and 2 2X4 pieces 10" long. Also some deck screws and wood glue for a super sturdy handy stand. Screw and glue them together like you see in the pix and you are done. If you want maybe put a little carpet scrap on the top of the plywood but I don't think you will scratch the frame without it. Put one under the right side of the bike just behind the footboard under the frame a couple of inches or a little more - then go to the left side and put the other one across from the one you just placed on the right side. Then push the bike gently over to the right until the frame rests on the right hand wood stand - push a little more and slide the left side wood stand under the bike with your right foot and you now have your bike on a stable platform. For me they are great for checking fluids and polishing, adjusting the bars, mirrors etc.
