Default 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.

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.

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

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.?
