    Looking for some help please, can anyone recommend a good rear paddock stand for a Thruxton 1200?
    I got a puncture last night tyre totally flat so need to take the wheel out to get her repaired :(

    I’ve got Harris paddock stands. Easy to use and good quality Highly recommended

    I’ve got a Harris rear stand that I’d be willing to sell if you’re interested ;)

    I don't know if you guys can get the Pit Bull stuff on your side of the pond. I have the rear and 2-way front, adjustability and quality is top drawer....

    I've also got a Pit Bull here in the States. Built like the proverbial brick s#@t house. Easy to use too.

    Yep, I had a GSX S750 fall off an Oxford stand as it twisted when raising. It stopped when the bar end hit the garage wall thankfully but it would have hit the floor.

    Have you still got this for sale?? I’ve got R&G bobbins in my Thruxton but I assume this will fit too?? How much are you looking for?

    Same thing happened to me. Had to send several pics of the bent stand before they refunded my money. Got a Warrior stand now, which seems much more substantial.

    I have still got it but ideally I’d be looking for a buyer to collect as it’ll be a bugger to package and probably expensive to post. :confused:
    You might be a bit too far from me mate.

    So after an Amazon drop ship paddock stand being delivered to the wrong address by DPD, I finally got this last Sunday!!

    For a budget stand I’m very impressed the bike has been up since Monday evening and hasn’t moved at all in 4 days
    Should be able to finish everything I need to do this weekend weather permitting -and for £40 got a stand for chain cleaning checking for some time to come:)

    I recently purchased a stainless steel Harris stand and it didn't include the final machining process which prevented one of the bobbin forks being fitted to the main chassis. But it did include by way of compromise was some unwanted hammer marks.

    Guess Ye Olde Royal Enfield quality control has kicked in at last ;)
