Fellow VFR-isti and interweb virtual buddy, Gamble, from Austin TX, figured out this simple and effective solution to support the front end of his '86 VFR750 project while doing a fork rebuild.

Gamble uses a length of 7/16" steel rod passed through two engine block ears that look like they were made for the task, then supports the rod on adjustable jack stands. Genius.

Gives great access for a detailed cleaning, huh Gamble?
