Newbie - Centre Stand?

[SILVALP]

One alternative i CAN reccomend (if you want something for "all bikes now & future") is the Bike Lift in the link below sold by M&P / Busters group (i think we get discount @ Busters still)

A friend has one & ive hoisted the Alp up on it (have to remove belly pan) and it was excellent & stable. So good i am going to order one next week

Thanks for the heads up on the parts, he didn't seem to have any method of reduction, the screen was relativley (by percentage) cheaper than the stand and at wayy less than half price the fog lights were practically free ! DM

Yes i wouldnt say he's the shrewd-est businessman ive met I discussed with him recently my preference to on-line shopping for bike accessories due to the sometimes massive savings compared to prices in shops like his. I suggested he offer a discount card to folk who buy a bike from him... went in one ear & straight out tother You see many like me coming in looking & walking away.

Glad to you got Fog Light steal

The problem with paddock stands and the like is that you can't take them with you. I was on an 8 day ride in France on the Speed Triple in May and my friend had the wheel the bike around a car park every day while I squatted down trying to spray the chain.

A scottoiller is an easier way of chain oiling.

Lazy Git ! Tell him to oil the lower run, push it forward to expose next bit, stop & squirt/ repeat like everyone else wivout C.Stand.

Personally i have never fnd it a prob - just summat i do if i aint got a C.Stand.

Thanks Silv

What you suggest is exactly what Big Rog was telling me that he did when he bought his bike, X% off anything he bought at the store as long as he kept the bike. Breeds loyalty that does !

Plus I went back and went through the numbers again, the C Stand was lower than that I was kerfuddled, so Japes when/if you're ready let me know and I'll PM you the details.
