Chris Walker paddock stands - thumbs up or down?

[Lumpy]

I was looking at these paddock stands - couldn't find anything on a search.

Anyone tried them and got nice things to say (or not so nice)

Cheers

I have one of those front stands surplus to requirements. You can have it for £25 plus postage.

I have a similar rear stand too that I use. Seems pretty good.

Cheers MOz but I got a set handy with a pal who had two track bikes and got a second set but never used them. He had to sell the second bike, he has offered them to me for a decent price - just trying to make sure there are not made out of cheese.

Don't suppose you know what bolt size the s1 takes for front and rear bobbins?

Cheers

You don't use bobbins on a front stand.

Just make sure the rear stand is going to be able to lift the rear wheel clear from the ground. Sounds silly but I sold a similar looking one to an S1000RR owner and it didn't work.

I have one, it does. Just.

odd that isn't it. A slightly higher front stand would have the rear on the deck!

Thumbs up. I have a set of these.

I had a set coming from my mate but the rear does not fit (not wide enough) Knee-down do the same one but with a wider rear for the S1, so grabbed that, all is good.

Cheers
