Don't copy one of those... design something!!!!

Challenge him to do something better... not just build the same old shit!

That could be a cool project....

For God's sake make sure it uses bobbins.

I had one that just went under the swing arm (used it for years on my R1)

But it just couldn't handle the weight of the 12R.

im sorry for time delay...and for my substandard ability to draw...but I have limited resources and limited knowledge...I hope this helps in the way of a rough idea..
you will have to obtain the width but that should be very easy...
Keep in mind this is my home built stuff it is by far not a great design and could easily be improved

Looks good. I'm sure if i made one myself it wouldn't turn out so well.

This is a good one if you're looking to copy one.

I purchased this cycle lift last winter and has worked wonderful for me. It's called a Peglift. It's adjustable in many ways and makes lifting the rear of the bike very easy.
