I actually made it quite a few years ago when i realised i'd no way of getting muffins front wheel out it was built from handrail off cuts using measurements from an old 500 suzuki twin, it fits the X1 perfect but the CR front is lower so i have to mind i don't squish it's headlight. It is a rock solid stand though. :D

Nice job kev
Iv'e got some 40mm x 40mm unistrut to make a gantry to hang some straps from, attatch the staps to either the frame neck or top yoke while the bike bench is raised, then slowly lower the bench to raise the front end, still havn't made it yet.
Have tried this already using the garage joists and it works.
