Burley bents are a pain to put in a stand. They tend to be rear heavy and the adaptor that clamps onto the seat real can be a pain to get into a clamp.
They tend to want to tip a standard stand.
So I had a fellow weld me up a stand out of scrap 2” pipe it is pretty simple. I made it o I can have the bike facing ether way without the chain getting in the way. I made the wooden adaptor so it can tilt either way.
This would be even simpler for a bent only just having it sit on top of the main post but then I could not use it for a regular bike.
The bike is rock stable and the stand does not move. You could do something like this out of screw together pipe too but this cost me less since I had the pipe and made all the cuts myself.
