Just spent the majority of the day cleaning and polishing, degreasing and re-greasing chain etc...
I'm still waiting for my paddock stand bobbins to arrive, so I fashioned some from a couple of bolts, penny washers and nuts as spacers.
I have an old set of the purple Micron stands, and I was really shocked to find that they are almost too wide for the S1k! The hooks were full extended inwards and only just reached.
The right side hook also clashes with the end can so it's made me start thinking of alternatives.
For some time I've been looking at abba stands, then I saw the Skylift at the NEC last year. If they weren't so expensive I'd just order one, but at ?437 they are a fair old investment...
The idea of having the bike at eye level when sat on a stool for cleaning purposes really appeals to me, but ?437 would probably induce the wife into a serial killing spree....
Anyone got one, tried one or has any alternatives that are about a couple of hundred maximum?
