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.

Ohh Damm
When I read the title.. FONT STAND I thought it might have been some right wing political offbrake making a stand on the politics and ethics to grammar.
but its just a spelling error
we are all human and all make mistakes.. Sorry Mark I couldn't resist that one..as laughter is the best medicine... By the way good job silver I need and have been thinking on something similar myself...

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.
