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.

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.

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.
