I just realized my current rear paddock stand won't work with the single sided swing arm. Any recommendations on getting one or making a traditional stand work for the use case?

I got an R&G stand that works but it feels very insecure due to the small diameter pin required for our gen bike. (compared to other single sided swingarm lifts I use on my Superduke, R-NineT, VFR, etc)

It has worked for several tire changes and lubing the chain but I really don't like using it. Pitbull does not sell a single sided stand for this pin diameter. I read in someone's post here that a Pitbull representative told them that their engineering team would not sign off on the production due to the stress imparted to the small cross section of the pin.

A lot of people like the ABBA Skylift, I would probably buy one of those instead if I had not already bought the R&G.

Much appreciated. Thanks.

don't like centre stand? Superbike Stand

Looks like a reasonable option. Haven't had need for such a thing, since my other motorcycles have been easy to lift with rear stands or a jack. Shelving, in the odd motor swap scenario... But that looks very nice.

I have the ABBA stand & the Pitbull

You can use the Pitbull because in 2021 Honda switched back to the larger diameter axle pass-through. 2018-2020 were the smaller diameter pass-though that is the issue with a single sided swingarm stand. I have gone so far as to consider swapping my axle for a 21+ so I can use a proper Pitbull with the CB. I'm probably too lazy.

Ahh I hear you.
Here was a thread on stands - Rear Paddock Stand

and besides R&G , try this - ConStands® single sided paddock stand for your motorcycle

I have an ABBA stand as well. Not the "Skylift" which I assume isn't really suitable for taking to the track or whatever, but the superbike stand. Takes longer to install than a standard pit stand, but I trust it a lot more.

Thanks guys. after ready how many of you think the center pin stand is unstable, I'm gonna get the r&g spools to use a more traditional stand. I'm gonna need a front andnrearvstand for long term storage so stability is important to me.

I have the Abba super bike stand with the front lift bars as well. Super stable, easy to use and can get both wheels of the ground for extended storage. Was money well spent!
