I was just wondering, is a rear paddock stand pretty much a universal thing or do certain types fit certain bikes?

The instructions are simple...
If you need one, get a unifit. These have sort of swiveling cradles that go under your swingarm to lift the bike and can be adjusted in/out for different width swingarms.
The other sort is generally fixed for an individual bike, and uses a sort of slotted blade to lift on bobbins that screw into and stick out from the swingarm.
Your bike does not have bobbins.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

You need a particular fitting. If the swing arm has bobbins fitted the you need hooks on the stand. If it doesn't you need angle brackets instead. If your rear brake caliper is mounted under the swingarm then the angle brackets may not work so you'll need bobbins, but if your swingarm doesn't have bobbin mounts then you'll need to get some welded on. If you don't want to do that and you have a hollow swingarm pivot, then you can get a stand that goes in there.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

It's not for the GN, my Aunt broke her wrist last year and it's causing her problems getting her bike on the centre stand; I was thinking about getting her a paddock stand so she could do her own chain adjustments/oiling etc.
The instructions are simple...
Really? I wouldn't have thought a GN would.

The paddock stand requires some mucking around with the bike whilst lifting it up. I would suggest you try one on her bike before you bought one. Just in case she has difficulty with it.

Exactly my thoughts, hence the suggestion above - makes all those jobs like chain lubing/cleaning, wheel cleaning and finding the damn tyre valve sooo easy and it's a simple one person operation. As you say, paddock stands can be a bit awkward by oneself especially if you have any infirmities.

And the there's single sided swing arms, but I don't think GNs come with those...

So.. That would be under $100 landed??
Looks the ducks for those workshop jobs.... that you need to do in the back and beyond too (thinking like after a trip over Danseys Pass).
babe......i got your number
What they said. I have a paddock stand and always get one of my daughters to hold bike upright while i position and lift. Getting off stand is doable by myself (just) but i just dont have the dexterity (or apewoman arms) to hold bike upright and lift stand at same time.
