(If your front end flops it will damage a tank some padding up there to be safe.)

Curious..How does that happen?
When I turn my bars fully to either side nothing contacts the tank.

Without a specific adapter you can't use a standard lift.
I have some adapter plate plans  I can send you,

Hi Mike
Any chance you can send me the plans as i have the Switzer as well and very pleased with it, does
slowly go down if left over night ,but as long as the arm is locked in one of the notches it holds it well

you may also ask MarkT for an adapter than can be mounted and will stay on your dragon:

Thanks mike, I have seen them but I was under the impression that you had some plans for a metal version as you stated " if you are capable of cutting and welding steel " ?

my bad, I've searched for the metal plan, but have discarded the layout after buying a professional built metal adapter plate:

A jused one on ebay atm: https://www.ebay.de/itm/144775086559

Many thanks Mike for your time and effort to find this for me  :cooldude:

I like the look of this Metal one, will need to spend a few hours in my son's workshop
making it, as he now has all my cutting and welding gear there, will post a picture of the completed item.
