Paddock Stand Recommendations please?

Should I say thanks or not Nigel
Now I don’t know wether to go for the paddock or the warrior spider
Only thing with the spider I can’t see a kit to fit my blade 2016

 

Ps: with the spider do you have to fit bits to your bike ie: how do they mount?

 

Fairly sure that like most of these mobile stands, they come with a fitting kit for a specific bike. Surely there'd be one for a 2016 Blade.



Another alternative a member recently suggested is 1jac



I will be having a serious look at this at the NEC in Novenber.

Have a search on here for 1jac. Was quite funny when their sales guy pretended to be a happy user to contradict a bad review.

 

I’ve had most brands throughout the years but I always come back to my Harris stands.

 

Nice stands and nice 'SP1'

 

Once you have tried a Harris stand, I don't thing anything else compares!

 

with my spider stand I can remove both wheels then move the bike round the workshop out of the way, I threw my paddock stands as they are a pain to move the bike once the wheels are removed

 

Yeah I’ve had a couple of Warrior spider lifts and they’re great for certain things.

The lift is too unsteady to do any heavy engine work or to torque rear axle nuts. Things like that.

I don’t like the way the bike leans off the pins on them though.

The Abba sky lift is a serious piece of kit. It’s much more expensive than the wee Warrior one mind you.

 

I have actually read reports of bikes falling off that particular stand. In fairness though, it could be user error by not centring the weight or using on unlevel ground.

 

My first one leaned like a bitch.
Here it is on perfectly level power floated concrete floor:


The second on I had seemed to be modified to decrease the angle but still leaned a lot.
I never had a bike fall off one but I never really trusted them.

 

Wow. Not sure I would feel safe leaving my bike like that - even while having coffee.

 

i'v a 1jac and its bang on, the pin flexis so the bike wont slip off

 

Hi guys, a question for those of you using the ryde front stand

Can they be used on any bike. My honda and yam adventure bike have a slightly different fork height and width

 

I haven't tried mine on any other bike, but I imagine forks aren't much wider or narrower between makes. Ryde advises these specs:

Measurements:

• Width: 27cm
• Depth: 60cm
• Height: 34.5cm (to fork support)

 

I totally agree with the lean and worry about the bike falling off, the lean is caused by the bike slipping off the top pin. On mine I have fitted a locking pin that fits through the top pin. I did make the assembly myself that fits onto the stand and onto the bike. so much better than standard

 

ordered my ryde stands Monday and they arrived today in black and look really good. just need a bike to put on them

 

Agreed

 

I agree, I love my Harris stands.
Only difference with mine is I got the under fork nipples (ooer mrs) for mine.
