Motorbike: XL1000v
Default Home-made bike bench/rabbit hutch

Ingerlish:
Got the plans for this foldaway work bench a couple of years ago from a link on here, just got around to it now. Used it to service a bike today, worked exceptionally well, loads of room for tools, oilcatch, etc. The ramp slides in to the main body and the two jutting out sides fold flat against the body, makes a good bench seat when folded up. ere's the link:
