Frame Painting Jig

I'm getting ready to disassemble my XS400 cafe project for paint. While looking for ideas for a frame painting jig, I ran across this $20.00 frame holding jig on eBay. It works with an automotive engine stand. It seems to be just the ticket for holding frames and thought I'd pass on this idea.

I modified the jig to work like the engine mount that came with the stand. This was done by drilling 8 holes for the rotation stop pin, 2 holes for the handle and welding an alignment stop to keep the holes aligned between the stand and jig.

Here are some photos of the jig:

That's sweet! need to find one of those once I have a legit shop :

It's the frame for an 87 Yamaha SRX250.
