. . . but there's only one Scottoiler left at that price!
The pressure's on.

Ralph,

What's the verdict?

I'd go for the scottoiler myself. I used to commute about 40 ish miles a day 6 days a week and I rarely needed to adjust the chain and it lasted for ages as well. Has still got a scottoiler on the sv now despite doing very little riding at the mo or riding in the wet etc.

Scottoiler.

You can take it off and fit it to your next bike when you sell the Daytona. The one I left on my SV when I sold it to Rai had been on 6 bikes and I never replaced a C+S in that time.

Buy a single sided paddock stand and it's worthless to you while you're riding, and when you sell the Daytona it's going to be redundant and you'll give it away with the bike or bung it on ebay to be sold for a fraction of its cost, unless you buy another bike with a SSSA... which is unlikely as so few have them now.

It will with new adaptors. Triumphs have their own fittings, as do Ducatis and then Hondas. I never bothered with a SSSA paddock stand when I had my Daytona cos I have one that goes into the swingarm spindle with a big range of adaptors.

My biggest wrry with SSSA paddock stands is they twist over time, and if the engine is running when you're working on the bike on the stand they can slide off and get damaged - this happened to a friend's 748. Harris do one with a simple to attach bolt that goes right through and holds the spindle on the stand, but you can't remove the wheel when it's in place

Well I said I was agnostic and I started to poll to let you guys decide, so it's a paddock stand.

Thanks everyone.

I don't understand polls, most of the people anywhere don't fully understand the issues, and everyone here who has been riding for more than about 20 minutes and does more than 3 miles a year said scottoiler

Scottolier I don't understand why you want to use a less efficent way of looking after you bike, doesn't make sense. It can make mess those are two reason,

1 You haven't set it up right.
2 You haven't cleaned the bike for a really long time

Really thats down to you, not the equipment.

If you really want a paddock stand I could sell you one of mine for a price.
