I know the swingarm isn't symmetrical on the 929 and I know the bike doesn't exactly sit well on my Handy stands and I heard that they make one just for the 929. Would I be able to duct tape a metal plate or something to the right side to make it stand straight up on the stand?

 

Handystands makes an offset stand for the 929.

 

I don't want to buy a new set of stands for the bike. I was just curious if there is any way to make the one I have work.

 

i had the same problem, i did this cheap fix:
placed a block of wood on the offset side of the stand.
i drilled and placed bolts on the block of wood (and stand) so as to prevent the wood [and bike] from slipping
just make sure the side wall (of the modified side) reaches the swing arm--to prevent lateral slip

hope my explanation makes some sense

 

If nothing else, i've learned something from this post itself...get a stand (which i'm currently looking for) that fits the offset of the 929. Thanks guys.

 

mapjr, hindle makes a really good rear stand and also make adapters for the stand to fit a 929 swingarm. works great. got mine from www.indysuperbikes.com

 

HAVE U GOT A LINK FOR A COMPANY SELLING HANDYSTAND FOR A 929 ?? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

 

Handy Industries

There's the link for the 929 stands.

 

I just purchased a 929 and I just came to knowledge of the offset swingarm mystery.

anyone have experience adding spools to the swingarm? how did that go?

 

ive heard of guys drilling into there swingarm to add spools, but i dont think thats a good idea. 954 swingarm conversion is the way to go.
