Has anyone else here ever added a suspending pin to their MC Enterprises Canyon Cages to ease front end maintenance?

[QUOTE="Cyclepath, post: 1465147, member: 78971"] Hey everyone; I haven't started a post here in what is probably years, so here goes. After searching through the various topics here, I couldn't find what I am looking for, so thought best to inquire. My Gen 3 Feejer has nice Canyon Cages front and rear, and a couple years ago I thought, wouldn't it be convenient to just grab a couple automotive axle stands, and stick one under both left and right side cages? Of course that means I'd have to modify the mounting bolt on each side, so I could screw a slider or smaller bore stub on temporarily whenever I want to suspend the front of the bike (wheel off for tire change, or fork maintenance, etc). Here's a simple sketch of a sturdy home brew steel support frame I am contemplating welding up: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1712887801943.png"]6794[/ATTACH] The cages use an M12 x 100mm bolt, through the frame and into the motor mount - so I certainly want to be careful in my approach to whatever I come up with. However, I think I need to create a copy of that M12 x 100 bolt, with another threaded stud / bolt welded in the opposite direction, something like what I am presenting in the bottom left of the graphic above. [B]Can anyone else offer me:[/B] [LIST] [*]guidance, indicating why this may be a [B]BAD [/B]idea? [*]guidance, based on their own similar design already proven successful? [*]guidance on where a Canuck like me may be able to source 2 replacement M12 x 100mm bolts (don't want to potentially ruin the ones I already have), -OR- where I could source a quality manufactured stud with nut in the middle, preventing me from having to fabricate them? [/LIST] Thanks in advance for anyone sharing their knowledge / wisdom here to aid in my quest! [/QUOTE]
