Saw this on Fleebay being sold for £20 a pop. Thought it was a good idea and made two for a tenner. A piece of 12mm threaded rod cut to size with a tie down eye each end. Slide it through your your swingarm pivot point and you are good to go. I thread locked one side to make it easier to get on and off. 2 rods from Wickes for under £3 and the eyes came from https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142327629366

Good tip there young Phil. I guess those tie-downs could also be used through some bikes' front and/or rear axles.

Good idea that... I'll add it to my list of things to buy.

I've used those eyes on mine for years on the trackbike.
Just have to make sure they're strong enough.

The rear ones screwed directly into the frame where the rear pegs went and the front ones replaced one of the lower yoke bolts, all torqued up and happy as Larry.
