Paddock Stand Cups?

[fatfingers73]

Anyone know where I can buy the cups on their own?

All my previous bikes used bobbins and hooks, so I don't really want to buy a whole new stand just for the cups.

Cheers.

Hi,

Don't know about the cups as I use an Abba stand.

Why don't you put a steel bar through your rear axle and use your hooks on that?

i do have cup like thingys for mine.. but they arnt that good.. i use a steel rod through the wheel and the hooks.. a lot better and much more stable!!

I just turn the cups round on mine and use the spindle ends through the axle

After damaging the speed sensor on my 650 with cups (a £125 mistake ) I ditched the whole paddock stand setup and went for an abba stand. Great peace of kit, and the bike is a lot more stable. You can also get an adaptor kit that allows you to take the swingarm off (something you can't do with a paddock stand).

Thanks for the advice, just ordered the Abba stand.

One more quick question, do you need to remove the rearsets to use the abba stand?

Thanks.

No, you don't have do anything, just put the connectors in and away you go, dead easy and I'm a girl Just make sure you got plenty of room in front of the bike cuz it lifts it forward quite a bit.
