I have one. I've never figured out how to use it. You can have it for the postage. I'll send a pic later.

Looks like it needs the base rotating 180 degrees and the prongy bit also rotating. I think that should cam against the main support when in place.

Is it homemade and have you got the wheels for it?

Def not home made. Has a label on it. Never had any wheels. It was given to me when I bought a bike but I've never tried to use it. It's probably been assembled wrong?

That's how they are, the important bit is the fit in the head stock.

They usually come with a set of collars that fit nicely into the head stock & over the lifting prong.

If the prong is loose in the head stock, the bar holding the prong can touch under the fairing & when the bike is lifted the whole weigh of the bike rests on the fairing :eek2

But they are handy for removing forks etc :thumbup:

Let me know how much postage is. If it's not that much then it's worth a punt. :thumbup:

There wasn't a size supplied with mine that fitted so I used a 17mm socket

Ended up with one from eBay at a bargain £36.

The right size pin (24mm) was an extra fiver.

Bargain! freeridenick

Ta for letting us know there's a correct sized pin available so I've contacted them for one to replace my socket bodge for the VTR (plus one that will fit my Transalp)
