bmf stand

[stef]

bought myself a paddock stand last friday, from BMF.
It was one of those at £20 squids, made by some unknown company, cant remember the name speedwise, streetspeed or something..
avoid at all cost !
I lifted the bike a couple of times, every thing seemed perfect.I serviced the rear end today, and as i was putting the rear wheel back on the ground, that damn stand started to bend.. I manage to keep the monster upright, but the paddock stand is definitely bust.
This could have been an expensive service !

:eek: BLOODY 'ELL :eek:


Stef, did you buy it with a Credit Card by any chance, as it should be covered if you did!!

[stef]

nothing's broken on the bike, I am going to BFM tomorow to get my money back !
That stand is supposed to be able to carry a 'superbike'.. should I put the monster on a diet ?

Keep us up to date Stef, sounds like a 'wide berth' outfit :mad:

I was looking to buy the same item, thinking it would do the job :mad:
Let us know how you got on :burnout:

[stef]

well dazzi-b, stay clear of the cheap ones.
it felt cheap, but i thought it would be enough for a light bike like the m600.
not worth the risk.
