Paddock stand front

Hi,

Any recommendations on where I can get a front paddock stand to lift the front wheel up so I can remove it and remove the fork legs to replace the seals. It seems most front paddock stands are now two short to lift the front wheel and fork legs clear for removal.

Thanks

Get one of the ones that fits into the steering stem below the bottom yoke . The one I got has a selection of pins to fit various bikes , zrx and z1000 . Ebay 231611772539 should work . Not the same as mine but I can't remember where I got mine , probably at a bike show .

The type that fit under the front forks (at axel level) ain't much cop :|

I use a jack which I bought off bikerstoolbox. I jack to the frame and this raises the front wheel

Chris, I've got a jack you can use or a main stand and bolts to do this job.

I also have one of these. Highly recommended. The type that goes under the headstock is good on modern bikes but my Z with big wheels and long forks doesn't have enough lift

I also have one of these jacks that sit under the frame.

I increased the height of the 'cups' so I could use it with the exhaust still fitted.

This is what you'll need;

I didn't need to as the one supplied by Ralph has enough reach to get around a Harris exhaust
