Hi all Can anyone recommend a good stand for my Bonnie for general maintenance etc as it doesnt have a centre stand Many thanks
I was looking at this: https://dynamoto.com.au/ But since it’s on the other side of the world, AND quite expensive... I ordered a regular one from Datona.nl for my, to be delivered, speedy. Am looking at omni-directional wheels the replace the regular ones, who knows...
I use a 1Jac stand that I bought for the Panigale that I had (RIP ) Luckily I was able to get an adapter to fit the Daytona so I use it for that now. It’s a brilliant stand, both wheels off the ground, easily manoeuvrable, secure and so easy to use. They’re not the cheapest stands but I much prefer it to paddock stands. There’s lots of similar designs from other manufacturers but I went for the 1Jac as I though it seemed the best made, and it’s British It seems they don’t currently do a fitting for the Bonnies but they’re constantly developing new fitting kits so it’d be worth giving them a ring if you’re interested in one. They often do a discount if you’re willing to help them with the development by letting them measure up your bike.
I tried one from R&G on my Speed Twin. Their bobbins are good but I couldn't get the stand to lift the bike and I've since found out that it's a common problem. I found a review of rear paddock stands by RIDE magazine and they agreed with me so I went for the Oxford Premium rear stand which works very well.
