Hello from the New Forest

[mikesp]

Hi all. Will be picking up an EVO from Moto Rapido tomorrow morning. I'm sooo excited!! :mand: Feel like a big kid. Looking forward to bumping (not literally) into some of you local enthusiasts sometime soon. Should have picked it up two weeks ago but health said otherwise. Now it's raining.......grr.

Oh well, my first question (of many, no doubt) is about rear paddock stands. I've come across some pretty weedy ones in my Triumph days that allow single-siders to sway far too much. Any suggestions on something with some strength, especially if it doesn't cost a king's ransom.

Thanks in advance
Mike

Hi Mike

Had my Evo since Saturday and love it.

I'm using a normal paddock stand and 18 inches of chrome wardrobe rail through the rear axle.
works fine as long as your not removing the wheel ;)

Enjoy

Regards
Rick

A genuine Ducati stand is the way to go. You wouldn't live with yourself if it fell off a cheap one!
Welcome to the local group and forum. Catch up soon, I'm sure.

Greetings from another evo owner.

Demon Tweeks do a paddock stand to fit my evo, and so far it's been fine for me. Cost ~£70 I think.

[mikesp]

Cheers guys. You're a lively lot, quick off the mark too. Never expected so many replies in such a short time. It's apparent that as per all lively forums the best humour is usually at someone else's expense lol.

Someone mentioned 'breakfast'. Is this a regular meet like Goodwood or something local, sunshine willing of course!

[uksurfer]

have a look at what you missed and whats to come

It's dark, wet and all the bikes are safely tucked away - so we've nothing else to do.........

Welcome Mike! Nice choice of bike too. Hope to see you round. I'm in Lymington, as it says in my blurb. Pay no attention to all these strange banterings - you'll soon be up to speed with who all the resident nutters are.

Hope you manage to get out on the bike despite the current dampness - I've been out on mine today and got her all wet and dirty.

Oh, Yesss! :mand:

[mikesp]

Cheers guys. Have just ordered this. As it was discounted by 25%, and there was no postage, I bit the bullet. Looks like a marvelous bit of kit for not much more than decent seperate front and rear stands. Link below. Sorry don't know how to make the link tidier.

Did you hear that Martin and get the hint! Lol

yeah, happy to share the one i get for christmas

Just received and set upthe ConStands lift. Does the job very well. Very solid piece of kit for the money. Must admit I'm surprised at how stable it is considering its only lifted on a pin. I might get the pin and socket drilled so I can fit a split pin or something to make it more secure (more for my own peice of mind than anything)

Anyone else used these long-term with no problems?
