This is mine.  Many sturdy, much rolling, such wow!

 

What brand is that?

You want the disk to be at least 12" OD and thin (like this). You need that load spread over as large an area as possible. If you mount the board on a 6" spinner the thing will wobble and board will overhang too much and flex.

Be prepared for a bit of extra effort when setting the bike on the spinner. It is just under 1" in height. You could use a steel plate instead (thinner, but $$ + heavy). The strip across the board on mine is to prevent the stand from shifting.

I used a 2mm steel plate on my lazy susan turn plate and it works really well. I glued a carpet tile on top for grip.

Nice... I couldn't find a steel plate in my pile of "things I could use one day". 😐

How large a plate... round?... photo? 😬

It's a Princess Auto (Canadian Harbour Freight) motorcycle dolly - came with a kickstand extension, and this is for the rear tire, but I removed that as it makes a wonderful centerstand dolly.  Cost about $40.
