Can somebody help me ID this centerstand?

It came with my /5... and it doesn't appear to be stock. i LOVE the large kick tab.
The one bummer is that the upper cross bar doesn't allow for a deep oil pan.

I'm looking to get another one just like it.

It was probably modified by a PO.

You want another like it? Break out the welder!

Funny! I thought of that... i taught myself how to weld this weekend with a used welder i picked up.

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger........I hope.

I learned my lesson about not using leather gloves a while ago. But aside from the leather glove lesson I also need to revisit an old decision about angle grinders:

Simply, I can't get along with the safety shield that comes with all angle grinders. On one notable day, as the reality of my gashed finger rushed to my brain, just before the pain set in, an awareness descended upon me that that had I left the shield on the grinder I would not have suffered the injury.

But then, if the shield were on I wouldn't likely have used the grinder in the first place because that damned shield is always in the road of what I want to do.

I think most everybody who uses an angle grinder knows what I'm talking about.

But this thread has given me a brand new idea. As I think about it, the problem is that the guard is too damn deep. So many times you can't get at your work the way you want to. So I think I'll grind away the bottom of the guard until it extends no further than the wheel.

True, the modified guard will be more dangerous than the stock guard, but I figure that it will be a lot less dangerous than no guard at all.

Besides, I'll be wearing my leather gloves.

So it's not like I'm some kind of safety rebel. I obey all of the other rules, such as not using the equipment in a lightning storm. And I never ever swallow the dessicant. And you'll find no frayed electrical cords in my shop.

jj, now that you know how to weld, just weld another cross bar in your centerstand low enough to clear a deep pan, then cut the original cross bar out.

I said i know how to weld... but i didn't say i was any good at it! yet... haha.
