    That looks like a bit of a rip off of the Abba stand really and not as good as I take it you don't get the breaker bar and extension lever with it?

    Saying that I'm not sure if Abba do a stand/kit for the Rocket III but might be worth finding out as the are about £120 delivered and you can buy multiple kits for different bikes.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    Don't let Flip hear you say that. He's very proud of it! Nice fella too. Well regarded on the R3Owners site.

    You're right - you don't get the breaker bar but then again it's a cheap bit of kit - about £95 delivered and that's half postage as it weighs about 6 KG and comes from the States. A forged breaker bar added £16.

    Very well made but a bit of a faff to use if you do a lot of work on the bike.

    It will fit a range of bikes. There's a similar product made in Europe but with wheels. Its more expensive though even with cheaper postage.

    I'll be testing the Rivco centre stand soon.

    www.Jack-Be-Quick.com is nearly finished with their R3 lifting system. It stays attached to the bike so it's able to be used away from home in an emergency as well as home. One person lifts the bike easily. It should be available in a few weeks.

    Are there any UK suppliers of a decent paddock stand or can anyone recommend the best? Cheers
