Paddock stands (again?)

[MikeG]

Busters have a stand for 25 quid, seems a bargain to a cheapskate like me. Anyone any experience of these?

I really need to spend cash on my bike, so need a cheapish stand, any alternatives?

As 'Jerry' says in the rating - works well for a cheapie...

However, the Micron if far more substantial and stable, and the rubber coated cups on the Micron are much better too...

Should be able to get a Micron for around £36 from M&P - or wait until the shows?

I bought that stand nearly a year ago and it has served its purpose very well also it's rubber cups are still ok which is a bonus

I think you get what you pay for. Had micron one for £35 which wobbled a lot, tried another for the same amount and that wobbled too so stumped up the necessary and bought a Harris Performance stainless steel stand with bobbin hooks - £65 well spent, it's flipping ace, really well made and very stable

I bought one the same from kawasaki Newcastle only 19 Quid they will mail it I think. The number is 0191 2723335 or try a search-(Website is crap though you can't find anything). Rubber pads came off the base of the cups cured with a bit of Evo Stick.

Abba stands are the dogs, if a tad expensive. Also avoids problems with asking you girlfriend with a hand getting bikes onto a paddock stand!

Decided to buy the Micron stand, so ordered it at 11:30 on Thursday and it arrived at 14:00 on Friday. Excellent service from Busters.
Dont remember ordering a PURPLE one though....

Thanks to you all.
