Paddock Stand Bobbins - rear axle
Greetings,
I store my Monster on a Paddock Stand with a Pry Bar through the hollow rear axle: Does anyone know of a kit for fitting bobbins through the axle before I buy something and butcher it to fit ? Like this maybe: I haven't come across anything specially made for mine yet on the www.. regards H |

What's the point of a paddock stand that won't allow you to remove the back wheel?

Mine has "L" shaped pads that pick up under the swinging arm.. Cheap and cheerful.. Does the job.

I’ve seen it done on an S4 (alloy, not steel, arm)
R&G style bungs bolted right through for strength. |

It shouldn’t be too onerous to drill through both sides of each arm and weld a tube through. That could then be internally threaded to take bobbins or bungs and wouldn’t preclude removal of the rear wheel.

If I was taking the Wheel off, the bike would be up on V-Duo's Ramp for a tyre change. Last edited by hh93; 19-06-2021 at 12:52 PM.. |

I reckon that's the least easy option TBH. Drilling and Welding the Arm might give it a weak spot or distort it. Plus I'd have to get it off and to somewhere that can do it.

You’ve a point about the faff of taking it off though, but that does afford an excellent opportunity to properly clean the back of the engine. Perhaps that is a lighter solution with less unsprung weight for next winter?

I *think* (from memory) 696 and 620 have the same size back axle, even if there are differences you’d have a starting point which required minimal adapting to fit.
