having a look at it i would do it slightly different but same principle. think i would get about 30 out a sheet :-)

production costs for me would be almost nada as it could all be done in house and looking at it i would put a rough estimate of about £12 posted to your door.
Worth a trial. I bet good money you'll get 30 people committed after all you got 50+ last time :P

Be careful though, you don't want to start ripping off people's ideas. You know what happened to DavieSV

having looked on the net there are various jacks that are the same principle.

mine would be slightly different in the way it fixes to the swingarm.

but the last thing i want to do is start ripping peoples ideas off.

Id do it as a bracket that holds under and to the side of the swing arm rather than the bobbin holder.

that is exactly how i would do it but have a swivelling head to take up the angle so the head always sits flush to the underside/side of the swingarm.

Yea otherwise you would risk the bike falling. Good design. Would the ground surface have any issues with the stability? Meaning would a cross hatched bottom eliminate any slip.

if you do this would be happy to buy a pre production model :)

i would say that you don't need a large contact area on the ground. this is why the one in the OP's post works so well as it's effectively a blade. only time that would not work was on grass. i've always had a KISS approach to things.

Ahh so diggs into the surface. The weigh from the bike pushing it down.

And yes KISS, I'm sure my misses uses that as her mantra!

I'd buy 1. Need to get another stand as my paddock stands at my garage away from the house where I go for cleaning and maintenance but could do with something small to just lube my chain outside
