OX281 - Oxford Rear Premium Motorcycle Paddock Stand

Product Information

Easy-to-use stands that make lifting a bike effortless with touches to ensure once in the air, your pride and joy is held there safely." - RiDE Magazine Best Buy Unfortunately as this is a universal product we are not able to advise on specific fitments, apologies. Oxford list the the stand as suitable for swing arms with overall widths of260-355mm. Constructed from durable steel, with heavy duty fasteners and a base with large wheels for increased stability this a dream piece of workshop equipment. This stand is universal fit, however we can see no reason why this stand is not suitable for yourHonda. I bought this in preference to buying the very much more expensive, OE Manufacturer, Centre Main stand for my specific bike and it works perfectly for the task I bought it for. I've given a 5* rating as for the modest price, it works properly and completely fulfilled my expectations.

The stand comes with free Oxford Clean Grips. You can attach them to the stand for comfortable lifting and then attach them to your handlebar grips before starting maintenance. They can also be very useful for general maintenance; if your bike doesn’t have a centre stand but does use a chain, then cleaning and lubricating the chain is far easier if the rear wheel is off the ground, as is adjusting the chain tension.

Lots of Triumph owners opt for the single-handed bike lift options like a 1Jac on Con Stand, which lifts the whole bike off the floor. First and foremost, bikes like being stored upright. There are several models that specifically don’t like being stored for any length of time on just the side stand – the oil drains to one side and exposes the engine’s internals to air and moisture, with potential corrosion issues. We can confirm that this is a universal stand which will fit your motorcycle. You will not need to install bobbins as this has a cup/padfitment. With all this information, it can be difficult making a decision, especially when you have to make the correct choice for your bike.

How wide is the stand? I have a Ducati GT1000 and the distance between the outside edges of the swing arm is 37 cm. Will thisfit? November 6, 2017 Front stands work in a number of ways. Either they have pins which locate under the fork legs or they have rotating cups which can locate either under the forks or, if you have radial brakes, you can fit them under the radial assembly on the fork leg itself. We see no reason why this wouldn't fit your motorcycle as the plates can be adjusted to the desiredwidth. The stand is made down to a budget but is perfectly strong enough for light home use. The tubing is adequate for the task and the welding is such that it is properly welded and sturdy. Trust me when I say that you could not manufacture this stand in a home workshop fr the price they are selling it for! The bolt together joints are well formed and the clamping action of the bolt-through fittings are perfectly capable of holding the stand together firmly. The parts are easy to assemble and the instructions are simple to read and understand. The rear swing arm pads are wide and their soft face pads will not damage the bike while lifting it. The stand itself is wide enough to support the bike safely on a flat surface. The action of lifting the bike, (My Aprilia Tuareg 660.) was pretty easy, even at my advanced age! If I have any comment to make, it would be to suggest a couple of M6 x 60 bolts and a couple of plastic/alloy bobbins be added to the kit to safely locate the swinging arm pads against the swinging arm to prevent any slipping while lifting.
