Front stand
Got a bit bored yesterday as its been snowing for about 3 days, so got cracking in the workshop and made this-
Seems to work ok, and it means i can lift both ends at once. I only used materials i had to hand, the side plates would have been better in box section.You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Front stand
Thanks for this simple solution to lifting the front end.
Just knocked one up from welded 40mm box section so I can change to wets or have the forks out without assistance.
Saved me at least £60 which is half a day at Snetterton.
Excellent.

Re: Front stand
Just bought a set of wets meself. Did Cadwell on friday for £50 and although cold it was still possible to get heat into the tyres and had a great day. Just booked Bedford autodrome on the 23rd for £69 with nolimits. Its one i have wanted to try, also need to go to Snetterton 300 as i havent done that yet either.
