compatible paddock stands

Post by MontePete »

Hello all, I see that there are no threaded holes to add swing arm spools on my 1990 FZR1000, are there any recommendations for a decent quality rear paddock stand (ideally with photos)? Also, for the front end if you have one that you like.

cheers,

I personally use an ABBA style stand that I made years ago. This allows both front and rear to be off the ground at the same time if required ( plans available on main site)
Only downside is you can’t remove swingarm but there’s an alternative support point of the footrest hanger bolts if you adapt the securing points

If you want separate stands for the front I’d go for a headstock stand that secures into the underside of the steering stem
For the rear you’d have to go for a traditional stand with cups that sit under the edge of the swingarm. Personally I had some babbin mounts welded to the underside of the swingarm as my arm was already marked when I bought the bike so I stripped it and polished it anyway

Hope this helps
