Paddock stand advice
#1
My gen 1 didn't come with a centre stand. Am looking to buy a paddock stand but there seem to be a thousand different models available. Any advice on price, size, model, what to avoid etc would be appreciated. The bike already has the lugs.
Cheers

Quite a few of us use the stands from Kaneg and Peter always looks after AHC members.

Instead of just getting a rear, have a look at his combo's of front and rear for $175 delivered.

I was in that situation myself a while ago. Had a look at few, tried some and then made my own as I didn't like the flimsiness and crap workmanship on most of them. Most excuses were "it is made for the price" (???) whatever the f*^ck that means. I made them wider and strong enough so I can seat on the bike without worry about braking it or tipping it over. Used 3 wheels so I can move the bike around or push it sideways if needed.

Just mine 5 cents of wisdom Lol3

Not a great one but I hope this wil give you an idea:

   

   

That bag of soil is not a part of it Lol3 just added to stop lifting it as the front wheel and forks are out and the whole bike is just supported on a jack Scary

You can see the swivel wheel there. Sorry for the quality of it. I am working now on the refined SS version as few of my mates want it as well. And the front ones to make a set. Will post pics once finished.

Thanks for the help guys. Sounds like a set of kanegs is my best option.

I've got three sets of Kanegs, one of each of my bikes (not sure HOW, I think I might have 'acquired' the last set), they are great. My legs are too short for me to be able to cleanly climb onto the tracky, so I climb on it on the rear stand and have to get pushed off. Never had a problem with a bike slipping, regardless of which bike it is.

You get a discount from Peter if you say you are part of the busa club. He is a LOVELY man, and the stands will be at your door in less than three days. The service is incredible with that bloke.
