Front Stands for Motorcycles

 
UNDER FORK
 
UNDER FORK 
Part Number AS3005 powder coated,
AS 3105 chromed

We have now redesigned our front stand to work better and suit a wider range of bikes. It lifts on the bottom of the fork legs, and allows the removal of the front wheel. Fits almost all bikes. 
It must be used in conjunction with a rear stand to ensure stability.
 

The under fork front comes with 2 types of lifting attachments - PAD type, and PIN type.

PAD type
These are now a machined plastic block which pivots on a shaft, and cups the end of the fork leg. Some bikes have axle pinch bolts on both legs, and some have them on one leg only, so the length of the forks below the axle centre varies.  To accommodate this, the pivot shafts that the blocks are mounted on are machined eccentrically, so by turning one mount block 180 degrees they will sit at different heights to match the fork legs. 

 
 
PIN type 
This lifting attachment replaces our Under Caliper Mount Stand - with this new model we can make one stand do both jobs. These attachments would be used for bikes with radial mounted front brake calipers. They lift under the structure attached to the fork leg which holds the brake calipers. The calipers can still be removed. 

This stand is height adjustable like our Universal rear stand.  There are a few models which this stand won’t work on - the BMW K1200 and 1300, as well as the pre-radial caliper MV Agustas. We have special front stands to pick these bikes up.

STEERING HEAD LIFTERS

These stands lift under the bottom fork crown, so they allow the removal of the forks as well as the front wheel. Like the other front stands, they need the bike to be supported on a rear stand before using them.

MK3 AND MK4 STANDS 

These will fit a large range of bikes. They both come with 7 different sizes of lifting pin. There are 2 different height adaptors provided for the lifting pin, and a third one available to order. Both stands have angle adjustment built into the lifting arm, so clearance to the fairing is ensured. Both stands also have height adjustment.

HOW DO THEY WORK? 
They utilise a lifting arm with a pin which fits into the hole in the bottom of the bike’s steering stem. Once the pin is inserted, the lifting arm becomes like an extension of the bike’s frame - a stiff handle which can be used to lift the front of the bike.

NOTE: The Ducati 748S is the only 8 valve Ducati which can use the Mk3 and Mk4, as it has a hole in the bottom of the steering stem. All other 8 valve models, (748R, 848, 916, 996, 998, 999, 749, 1098 and 1198) and all MV Agustas do not have a hole and so will need to use the Mk5 stand.
 
 
 


Anderson Steering Head Lifter Mk3

MK3   Part Number AS3028 
This stand has a bottom lifting frame on wheels. Height adjustment is achieved by moving the wheel axle bolts to a higher or lower hole.
 


 
Anderson Steering Head Lifter Mk4

MK4  Part Number AS3004 
This stand was designed to be more compact than the Mk 3. It is ideal for use on bikes when up on a work bench, as nothing protrudes beyond the front forks. The mk4 is also more compact for storage and transport. 

MK5  Part Number AS3115
This stand was designed for use on MV Agustas and all 8 valve Ducatis which don’t have a hole in the steering stem, and which cannot be lifted with a MK3 or MK4 stand. The MK5 uses a different lifting principle so it doesn’t need the hole in the steering stem - the arm is stiffly attached to the stand and the stand has long side supports which place it’s wheels beyond the reach of the arm and therefore stop the stand from tipping. Like the other stands the bike needs to be supported on a rear stand before use. 

Once the bike is lifted the handle can be removed to facilitate front wheel removal.

The lifting arm has a reversible lifting attachment which has a pad on 1 side suitable for the bikes with no hole, and on the other side a pin which allows it to be used on bikes with a hole. Because the pin doesn’t have to lock into the hole (as on the MK3 and MK4) it doesn’t matter what size the hole is, so one pin does the job.

Product no. AS3115
