Hi All
Hope someone can help me. I've got a 2009 Speedmaster 865 and I wanted to buy a Paddock stand for it for general maintenance (chain lube etc).
Everything I've read suggests the Paddock Stand is attached to the swing arm using Bobbins if needed.
My problem is I cannot find where I could even attach the Paddock stand onto the bike!
I've seen a number of vids on YouTube demonstrating this on a Bobber Black, but I cannot find anywhere where the Paddock stand would go on my Speedmaster!
Please help!

Thanks in Advance
 
The bobbins screw into the swingarm underneath just forward of the wheel spindle , or you can get a paddock stand that has L shaped pads instead of the hooks so you just slid it under the swingarm and the L shaped pads lift on the swing arm its self .

Hi
That looks really good and as you point out, it removes the need to have Bobbins! Thanks very much indeed!
 
I bought a paddock stand for my 2011 America, only to discover that the arms are too narrow (one or both would foul on the rear sprocket or the brake disc), plus the oem mufflers and their replacements are in the way. So, I designed my own, that uses the existing centre stand (I presume) lugs on the frame to create a lifting point. Used scrap so cost virtually nil. Bit untidy, but it works. Only new component is the centre bar between the lugs. Very easy to use. Very stable. Please excuse the crap welding - I'm a gardener turned office-worker.

Looks really good. Unfortunately my skills don't run to that level.
I suppose I'm looking for some advice on whether to get a paddock stand (there some available that will fit my Speedmaster), or whether to just get a lift - which will serve 2 purposes: Lift the bike for maintenance but also take it off the ground during the winter periods.

I also have an ‘09 Speedmaster and I’ve been using the scissor type frame lift on my bike . Get one with loops welded on it for tie-downs . Mind you I’m talking about the lifts with t- handle for dragging the lift around the garage . J&P Cycle has a little one , but it looks like was swiped from trunk of an MGB and had a flat plate welded on top .
Just my humble opinion.
 
No probs, Paddit. #1 priority is stability. I'd want to be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that my bike wouldn't topple. I don't have a level, concrete or paved surface to work on, so the stand I made has a wider stance than most and doesn't have wheels. Now to reproduce it in a more aesthetic form.......

Looks pretty good for using basically scrap steel. Necessity is the Mother of invention.
 
Thanks everyone for your advice. I've ordered a couple of paddock stands (one for the front and one for the back). I'll give them a go and see how I get on. Fortunately, I can return them at no cost! Either way, I'll let you know what I've gone for (if they work).
 
So the latest saga on the Paddock stands.... they didn't work. The problem was that when I put them under the swing arm, they pushed on my exhaust pipes, so I've had to send them back. They were Oxford Paddock stands btw. So I've now gone for a Sealey MC5905 scissor stand which I think will be ok.
Well all this keeps the couriers in business!
