Paddock Stands

[Grubloon]

So after I put a new tyre on the front wheel, I have come to the conclusion that a paddock stand is required, using two axle stands is a bit cumbersome to place while lifting the front end up. 

So are there any recommendations as to what to buy, need to be able to dismantle it for storage.

You can put a hydraulic jack under the three pipes at the front of the bike.  Use a jack stand at the same location.
Good luck

  What is a paddock stand and what is it used for?

Don't be too quick with jacking up the bike under the exhaust...

Not keen on putting a jack under the exhaust pipes, it strikes me that there would be a lot of weight placed on the pipes entering the cylinder head, not a good idea, could cause the pipes to split, so I will give that idea a miss. 

Ride Magazine did a feature on paddock stands a couple of issues ago , I will have to dig it out and see what they tested and what the prices were like.

I just wondered if anyone had got a stand.

I have just read RocketSteve post, definitely not putting any weight on the exhaust pipes if they are prone to splitting.

I've been thinking about a front paddock stand myself lately, not so much for removing the front wheel but for when/if the fork seals need replacing.
