M900 rear stand

the lodger · 24-04-2020, 03:38 PM

Can anyone recommend a rear paddock stand for a M900 which utilises the bobbins on my alloy swinging arm ?

The bobbins are factory standard from new.

Many thanks

The standard bobbins are too small in my opinion, that outer part is very weak and being alloy gets damaged really easily with a steel stand hook.

I use a generic stand with cups under the arm that I've lined with an old push bike inner tube.

Someone was selling an Abba stand I noticed, and they are much easier than paddock stands imo. You would need to buy the right adapters for your model, but not expensive.

I agree with Nasher the welded bobbins are small for most aftermarket paddock stands but that’s because they’re designed for the ones originally offered by Ducati.

I was lucky as when I bought my 900 from my mate it came with a Ducati one from new. I later managed to pick up another new old stock one which because they are so narrow (it’s on its widest setting for a 888/Monster) it fits my little race bike perfectly.

I have a Harris stand that fits the bobbins perfectly, been using it for over 15 years, no damage
