Good job chap :thumbup
If you cost it up and decide you want to make some (and can adapt to fit my Duke)
I'll ave 1 and i reckon i could sell a few more as well to Duke owners. :devious
Not sure Matt, bring yours over and we will have a test fit :thumbup
Looks ******* good and solves a lot of problems,front end right off no hassle. This is British engineering and therefore better than the rest!

That's absoloutly amazingly awesome and I salute you as a towering engineering genius:thumbup - am I right in thinking it can't be used with lower crash bungs fitted? Or is there a way of adapting it to use with them?
Now theres a question....i have no idea to be honest, i dont have them on either of my bikes so dont even know where they go, if they use the engine mounting bolts then no it wont work with them, ill look into it :thumbup
That did occur to me as well,and the way round that is, instead of a top pin welded to the jack,we use a sleeve of sufficient internal dia to fit over the crash bung.
This would of course need a subplate of sufficient thickness to be attached to the jack body ( bolt on ? )
Food for thought ? :devious

The stand will be further away from the bike then, which changes everything, it will possibly become unstable as the forces are greater
Yeah I thought of that just after pressing the button. :jack
What if the tube was welded on the stand side ie the bung threaded thru the sub plate and supported outwards ?
I haven't looked at the bike to check relative dimns so I'm just thinking aloud here. There is a way round this I'm sure.

Trouble is your bringin a 3rd possible weak link into play, yes a crash bung is strong but as nobody knows the strength of every individual crash bung, for instance, i sell you a stand, you say you want a crash bung attachment, unbeknown to me your bike has been down the road and the crash bung is damaged, you get stand and attachment and put ya bike on, crash bung snaps, bike on the floor, you then take me to court so on and so on. in my opinion the stand is what it is, no fancy attachments for this and that
Will do matey...be in the new year sometime if thats ok :thumbup
That good for me Matt, still testin this one with me own bikes before anyone elses goes on :thumbup
