Front paddock stand pin size

Post by manicguitarist » Fri Dec 04, 2020 9:43 pm

Hi guys! How you’re all well.
I’ve still got my RVF, nearing 100,000 on the clock now and she’s running just fine.
I got a Panigale V2 just before lockdown...so three bikes in the stable now.
Anyways...front paddock stands.
I have an ABBA sky lift..land it’s brilliant for major work. My RVF is currently sleeping floating in mid air on it.
But for a general wash...it is overkill.
I’ve got rear paddock stands for all my bikes that need one , and I’ve got an under the forks stand for the front...but it isn’t the most confidence inspiring...so yeah.
Cut to the chase...I see a few yoke mounted front paddock stands with interchangeable pins...but what size pin to buy?

Can't answer your question I'm afraid but just thought I'd say welcome back, it's been a while since you've checked in. You'll notice there seems to be even fewer members around now. Shame. Good to hear your RVF is still on the road and reassuring to know they are capable of such high mileage. And a Ducati to keep it company. Well done.

measure the hole at the bottom of your yoke.

lol - sorry if it wasn't more helpful.. If I had known it I would have mentioned - You normally get a range of pegs with a stand and so can always use a smaller one & pack it out with tape.

That is a stand I've never bought - mainly due to having the sky-lift too.. - its amazing - once you have the jackup kit & also drill more holes in it...

I use permanent magnets hot glued into either main adaptor to help keep the pins in..
