Re: Anyone use a front paddock stand
Headstock stands are brilliant things to use, it means you have much more freedom and the bike is way more stable. Ive been using my Micron Stand for years. Come to think of it Micron have been gone for years too. I think the best thing they did were their stands.

Re: Anyone use a front paddock stand
Stick your stand on local bike groups on faceache and also on gumtree. Someone will buy it for 25 quid.

Abba stand with front lift attachment or jack up with a piece of wood to protect the engine to rock the abba stand onto the back wheel

Re: Anyone use a front paddock stand
looking at getting a headstock stand for my K9 S Pointy, which ones are best value for money? do the included pins fit ok? 18mm is largest on most stands.
i already have a rear stand so not worth paying ££ for an abba stand this time around. do they damage the front fairing under the head lights? thanks |

Re: Anyone use a front paddock stand
I've never got on with those fork stands. I'm going to get a headstock stand. Safer and give you more capability.

Re: Anyone use a front paddock stand
Id vouch for the Black pro headstock stands, sturdy and cheap, fit my SK6 no probs. Personally Id stay away from Qtech.
