1200 Paddock Stand Suggestions

Yes, with the standard lifting 'lugs' and the bobbins so far under the swing arm it is a struggle to lift the bike and it was way too high so:
I removed the lifting 'lugs' and used a 10mm stainless rod through the rear spindle.
I had to machine one end down to 9.5mm diameter to suit the RHS of the axle.
Bike now sits about 50 mm above the floor and is easy to lift.
I also machined two alloy spacers only because the lifter hole was 18mm and the spacers took out some deflection.
I also removed the original rear stand wheel and used the fitting for a locking bar - this locks the lifting bar.
Then I fitted two sets of triple wheels to the stand so I can spin the bike around in my garage?

 

Did much the same on the front but used a 12mm stainless rod again machined down to to 9.5mm on the LHS to fit through the axle hole on that side.
This lifts the front wheel about 15mm off the floor and takes a light press to lift it.
The front of this lifter also has two 180 degree revolving wheels.

 

But surely you need it to be higher for when you take the wheel out. I've got a headstock stand that I lengthend the pin on to make it lift higher.

 

Can't take the wheels off with the pins through the axles Mr D.

These stands are just to keep the rubber off the deck and for cleaning and lubing.
I have a hoist at my factory for the serious stuff.

But I can put the bobbins back on to remove the rear wheel and use the rear stand and a jack under the motor for the front wheel removal.

 

Ah yes very true.
