Excellent! Thank you both for your methods - so ultimately the same result, supporting the bike under the Header pipes. :thumbup
I've investigated further methods (second best to a Jig - involving the complete strip down of the bike almost down to just a frame)...
Using chord attached to the headstock - down each side of the bike/frame to key points. Also from rear attachment, towards front of frame, again between key points. Plus measurements from the floor up to various points on the frame (both sides).
Finally, with stem removed, fixing a rod securely through and extended straight down - providing a useful attachment point for taking measurements - headstock centre line (down towards floor).
Then after that, assuming all appears good, the stripdown and fitting of the replacement front end! Hopefully all can be done while Bike is supported by your methods above?
