GRAND PITSTOP Motorcycle & Powersports Maintainence Stand Paddle Lift rear for Motorcycle Paddock stands Cruiser & Sports (Attachment Only)

This paddock stand is quality and well worth the money,easy to put together and has width adjustment to suit most bikes,Used the L brackets on my BMW F750GS as there is no where to fit bobbins,with the width set,offer the stand up to the swing arm on the lower side stand side,start to take the weight,which is easily done with one hand at the same time push the bike upright,push down and that’s it,it is genuinely easy to do,lifts the rear wheel enough to spin it,and not too high to make the bike unstable,to take off,just lift the stand from the floor and keep hold of it as the wheel is lowered and just make sure the bike goes onto the side stand,best bet is to leave it down,so you don’t forget about putting it down,and that’s it,thoroughly recommend this stand,as it seems robust and well made,and should last the lifetime of your bike easily.

A paddock stand would obviously make it a little easier to clean the chain as the bike is upright and wouldn’t have to contend with any friction like it does with the rollers. However, for the price, it’s fine and meant I could clean/lubricate the chain easily and the rollers take up almost no room in my packed garage. I propped a bit of wood under the side stand to make the bike a bit more upright.

After altering an R and G single sided stand with rotacaster wheels for my ducati to fit in a tight space I thought I would look round for a ready made one to save quite a lot of work and time for my new Daytina 675r with bobbins. The Australian built Dynamoto stand is an excellent option but the price is just not justifiable here in the uk. I also looked at the new 360 degree one from Oxford products which was on the list as a possible well constructed option but came across the Grand Pitstop Option by chance and it looked well constructed and supplied by amazon so if it was rubbish i could send it back. It arrived today and I am super impressed by the build quality ease of putting it together and the finish. Less than half the price of some of the other less well built options I researched. I have to give it 5 stars because for the price point and build I think it deserves it - there are a few tweaks and options that would in my opinion make it a market leader -1. with the current castor set up it works fine on very flat even ground - I think a slight increase in castor size it would be more beneficial for those with rougher concrete floor garages could be an option when purchasing2. There is still slight twist in the uprights and although bolted together with a single m8 bolt each side and sturdy I think there could be a better way of really making this with no twist at all - I assume its bolted rather than one piece for packaging and shipping purposes - still loads better than my R and G elevation stand which has loads of twist due to plastic inserts3. a nice inexpensive touch on some other models is some rubber protectors on the hooks save damaging the paintwork whilst getting it on the stand - I've made my own from heavy duty shrink wrapIn summary for £75 quid a bargain for a sturdy stand and even if you had to buy slightly bigger castors and fit them it would still work out cheaper than some other offerings.

Worked exactly as I hoped,well made,cleaning and oiling my chain is now easy

The media could not be loaded. I was really intrigued with this product as I have a lowered GS, so no centre stand. It was a bit difficult to get the hang of (in terms of how far away it should be) but I got there in the end. Needed to use my muscles to get the bike up. Only issue I found is that it would slip and drop the wheel, so I propped a brick beside my side stand and everything was okay. I think all in all it was good money and was easy to use once I got the feeling for it. The bike was super sturdy too and I wasn't worried about it falling down. The quality was nice on the strap as well.

Does the job well,

Could be my bike is too light for this to work well but it either just pushes the bike to one side, doesn't raise it enough for the tue to clear the floor or is at an angle that's very hard to push locked. The rubber grip provided doesn't work well on tarmac or the bottom of the swing arm, so while it's undoubtedly well made, it just doesn't work.

I bought this for my aprillia rs50 to help with rear wheel and chain care however when on the bikes built in stand and the product the rear wheel slides left/right as you take advantage of the roller wheel function to work on the wheel or chain. I found placing an old plank of wood under the kickstand helps to reduce the amount the wheel slides left/right, however the wheel slides still when on the stand. Still really great product just not so useful on motorcycles with smaller wheels.
