Rear paddock stand?

chill59 · Apr 19, 2017

Does anyone know whether a generic rear paddock stand would work OK on the swing arm of the latest generation 900 bonnevilles?
I've attached a pic of the type of stand I'm thinking of.
It looks like the rear brake calliper might get in the way.
I don't want to fit a centre stand and would like to make chain maintenance easier.
Anybody got any experience?

D'Oh! ...I've just noticed that there's a similar thread on the go (but I still don't want a centre stand).

Also worth saying is that my bike is a scrambler so I could maybe utilise the hollow spindle somehow (put a bar through?)

Hi, check out Tec Bike parts. They have a thru axle bobbin that looks like will work for the scrambler. I got a speedy reply when I asked them a question. Worth checking out.
