i looking for one of them thing i see ppl use to hol the bike up it hooks on the swing arm i have no clue on whats it is called or were to get one or how it works on the bike so i need info thank you

 

They are Paddock stands, I dont have any yet but they are on my wish list, you can get one for the front and one for rear, and the hooks are called spools.

 

how do the spools mount to the stock swing arm

 

lmao this thing??


I got one for free for going to pick up a bike with my buddy, anyways, its just like a rubber mounting piece that you just screw in depending on the width of the swing arm.

 

I just use a cheap spool stand, I drilled and tapped the swingarm to fit the spools. Not the ideal position but I was trying to put them where they would not weeken the swinger.

Can kinda see in this shot

 

If you don't have spools, you need to use the kind with the pads that slide under the swingarm.

You can find decent stands In the $65 range. I welded up my own rear stand cause I had a lot of spare steel tubing left over from another project, but you can find combo deals out there like this for stands pretty easily - this is the front stand that I use.

Isn't this why the bike has a centre stand ;o)

 

In the US, the rear-stand was an option. If the bike was purchased for the track,
that's one of the first things to go. Most people elected to pass on the rear-stand.

Back to the main thread...
Add a front wheel chock to make it easier still.
Motorcycle Wheel Chock

One of those, mounted on a piece of plywood. Makes lifting the rear less of a
balancing act. Not dropping your bike, even once, and it's paid for.
