Front Paddock Stand - which one?

I'm now wanting a front paddock stand for the SV (and future bikes ) and was wondering which one I should go for?

I've done a quick search but got little back, apart from the fact that the Oxford one sounds ok.

Nothing too expensive, but enough to get the bike up so I can change wheels etc.

Cheers,

Tim

i think for an sv the spike/prong type would be best.i tried a motrax on my sv and it didnt go very well lol as the right hand fork is a bit of a different shape 2 the left 1.

yes thats just the 1 i was talking about! i think that will work best on the sv forks compared 2 the others you get.

and ther pretty cheap!

Get one with fixed prongs that go into the recesses under the forks. I have one of the with two bars each side types that swing around, and to be honest it's a pain in the 'arris. The ZX10R race bike has a prong type and it's so easy to use and more stable.

I've got one too. You have to "adapt" it to fit the spread of the forks basically by pulling or standing on the legs, but nice and secure once the prongs have located.

But remember these are to be used in conjuction with a rear stand.

Dunno what the quality will be like, but I'm tempted.

The Champion stand is on ebay at mo. Too expensive. I only paid 30 quid for mine and 40 for the rear BUT they have a vid of them being used which may be helpful.

You can drop the fork tubes out using those stands I believe, but aren't they bike specific with adaptors to suit.?
