Paddock Stands

Products and Services... Just bought a new accessory or product for your bike? Or bought new riding kit? Do you love it, think it's great?

Paddock Stands

In preparation for playing around with the 'Bird, I'm looking at getting a pair of paddock stands.

Any recommendations as to make and model would be greatly appreciated....

one of the best stands you can get are ABBA (fook off with the bjorn jokes everyone before you start :mrgreen: ), they are so well built they will last you forever and if you change the bike just get different size spindles.

The ABBA stand lifts the bike using the swingarm mounting holes so there is no chance of scratching that lovely mirror polished swingarm :wink) :wink)

Very nice YO...

But how do you change the front wheel with it in that ?????

And how do you get the back one on ???

Also, handy lifting handles for the thieving tvats over here...

Think I will stick to my paddock stands...

Cheers,

Rolfy

That's like the locks they tie the bikes into when you go on Steam Packet ferries to the Isle of man
