Paddock Stands

[Mantzy]

They're going cheap on ebay atm (£48 for both including P&P) in case anyone wants them. Just thought I'd let you all know.

I saw them, I want one that holds it by the yokes tho. I want to learn how to do fork seals.

[BLOFLY 636]

is it safe to slide a piece of steel rod through the front axle and then use a rear paddock stand to lift the front of the bike while it is already on another paddock stand at the rear of the bike? I just want to be able to thoroughly scrub the front rim and check for any nicks or marks on the front tyre. will the bike slip off as I go to raise the front wheel?

What size bikes are paddock stands normally suitable for? I suppose they must be adjustable, but would something which would take a 125 also take a 600? The forks and swingarm can't be that different in position can they?

I bought it off ebay for £77, it was very sturdy and strong and holds my SZR660 perfectly. Not the slightest wobble. Also a doddle to use.
