Rear Stand issues

[bigian14]

This is my swing arm - it has had 2 brackets welded to it with threaded holes that I have put bobbins on - it is wider that my paddock stand so back to my old one

Looking very tidy Del

@bigian14 cheers mate its one of the best mods I have on the bike and after I got it from you  I did the same modification to my bandit

@mjgt I lost the centerstand when I fitted the akroprovic.
I still use the centerstand when doing maintainance just fit with the bolts but no spring.

Welcome to the forum Grmpf  Perhaps your second post should be in the introductions section.

Yeah I know, but I am more the quiet guy and also I am more active in the German GSX community. But I like this community here very much

I hope I could help @Athelstanexxx

Best regards

I have a similar issue - no main stand due to Akro.

The L-brackets on my rear paddock stand are.. TERRIBLE.

They are a bugger to adjust to the right width (and keep them there), the rubber wears off them too quickly so they could damage the swing arm finish, and worst of all as a result of those things is that it's not very stable.

Just use better lift....

RJays rear race stand 20 bucks off gumtree, has heavy duty l brackets and proper rubber and plastic covers on the brackets.  Easy lift up and does not slip off.  Looking for same brand for the front.

I use a trolley jack located under the sump with a shaped timber block that sits between the #2 and #3 header pipes (full Akra) to pick the front up.

Fitted my new Michelin road 4's yesterday.Love having a mainstand after 9 yrs of nothing(gsxr1000).

Easy job ,but when I got to the front wheel (with a car jack and a piece of wood under the headers) I found the front wheel just finger tight!   No danger with the hex bolts nipping up the axle but now the wierd wear on one side of the front tyre might explain itself?  Bike has done 21kms so the previous owner or mechanic hasn't nipped up the axle when fitting?
Can't wait to get out friday,new tyres are fantastic huh ?

Nowt wrong with PR4's had them on my 14 and my Triumph, really very happy with them. PR5's are even better.

It was a PR4GT that delaminated & fell apart on me in the alps, it was nearly new too.

I never thought the bike felt solid on them & they wore quickly & in a horrible way too.

As as add on to this interesting thread...
Ive have been looking for a safe, smooth and efficient way of manoeuvring the bike around the garage.

I have been looking for some time now for a professionally built system to achieve this without the need for a conventional tray/channel with 'hard castors' approach. As we all know the stock swinging arm does not have any bobbin mounting points, however, I have come across an Australian product by www.dynamoto.com.au with a unique wheel geometry that allows easy manoeuvrability in the garage.
Now the question: Knowing the swining arm structural integrity is unproven by drilling & taping it, does anyone have any experience of D&G units mounted on the chain adjusters?

Cheers Noddy

I like dynamoto, wish I had this system.  A pair of nutserts into the swingarm and you have your bobbin mount points.
