This will not be news to anyone that has invested already in a paddock stand.!

IMHO a paddock stand is a vital bit of kit especially if your bike has not got a centre stand fitted.

This looks ace. I currently have to use my side sand to spin the bike 180 degrees in a very tight space and im sure it cant be doing it any good doing this everyday!
Do you reckon I could use this and would the wheels run on a flag stones?

Last question, did you buy the swing arm bobbins?

I've invested in a paddock stand but it was news to me.
My paddock stand doesn't have wheels like that one does Wink
Looks like a good product.

I must admit that I did not notice the wheels on casters.

TBH I am not sure I would want them to be. I may be wrong but not sure how secure that would be if you wished to raise the front of the bike also. Question

Moving it on Flag Stones really depends on weight of Bike. Moves my Busa with ease which as you know is one heavey beast.
Bobbins already on the bike. Cheers Thumbs Up

That does look like a lot of stand for the money, tbf.

That does look like a good bit of kit if you've got limited space to move the bike around in. Thumbs Up

Take a look at this video of it; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KdvDxhd3dw&feature=player_embedded

The base with the castors stays on the floor, and the paddock stand pivots on top of the base, rather than pivotting on the caster wheels. Looks good imo, and certainly for £40! My Abba stand cost over double that and can't do that trick! Sick
