Just a quickie....

I need to get a paddock stand for my ZXR00.

Any recomendations for reliable suppliers on the web I can get one from?

Do I need a particular size? Looks like all are adjustable.

After cleaning my chain and wheels this weekend I realise that life could be a lot easier!!!

Many thanks for any advice.

can you just get a paddock stand to use on any unmodified bike, or do you have to attach those bobbins to the bike?

Yes, if you get one with cups they go under the swingarm rather than using hooks and bobbins. Thumbs Up

Thanks benc. Thumbs Up Just saw a Micron one on a website M&P. It has rubber swingarm pads and looks of decent quality. Sorted.

Some of the others I've seen look too cheap, I can see them snapping or the wheels falling off!!

Bought the Micron one, £40inc P&P, should do the job.

I don't do any heavy work on the bike with it, just to prop it up as I oil the chain and clean. Saves using the girlfriend to wheel it along the drive:-
"forward, stop! no back! forward a bit, stop!" "don't drop it on me FFS!"

Cheers.
