    Lift handles

    Does anyone have a photo, with dimensions if possible of the lift handles for putting the bike on centre stand? They are rarer than hen's teeth over here. I have tried autojumbles, eBay UK, but no luck. I can make some, just need a few starting points. Cheers

    It won't be anytime soon, but I can certainly get some pics and dimensions when I get them out over the next month.

          Just took a few for you. I'm using inches and not MM on my tape measure, but this should give you what you need to build it. The front bolt is a 6mm, and the rear hole is 10mm diameter, but elongated to 14mm front to back. It goes on the shock mount. Click image for larger version

                  This is great, I think I will weld a bolt in the boss end, thanks so much.

                    I think the nut is welded to the end so it's easier to install. With the bolt, you are trying to hit that 6mm hole AND get the other end over the 10mm bolt with little wiggle room. Weld a nut on the end, or use thicker metal and drill/tap for the 6mm.
