Looking at getting a rear paddock stand, does anyone know what the difference is between Oxford stands at $200 plus, http://www.norjo.co.nz/product.php?id_product=61
and this one on Trademe for $75? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-344547768.htm

...about $145

I got one of these from House of Custom. $10 more but is way more versatile and $85 is like stealing. It's solid as.

Comes with v cursor (with swing arm bobbins it's really stable), platform (no bobbins), or thorn + additional stand end to narrow it down.

Some mates and I stopped in Paeroa one day and this little girl runs up and gives us a business card for her daddy's new shop. Cute kid, very good manners. Was always gonna buy something after that.

+1 on that stand.............used mine when racing and it was great. Its the easiest one I've used regarding actual lift effort too. Hardly any effort required at all.

There are some bike shops in NZ that sell the bike lift range...

I've got the ones from House of Custom that come as a pair, front and rear (would well recommend getting a front one if you're in to fiddling with your bike, will come in handy). They work, all I can say, and they cost heaps less than other brands.

Actually they sent me two lots by accident and I'm still waiting for them to collect the second lot. Decided to be honest and tell them about it and they're still cluttering up my bloody shed.

+1 Another with the STV front and rear from House Of Custom

I have some cheap ones, and some expensive ones. There is absolutely no doubt that the expensive ones are less wobbly and better made, with bigger tubing, bigger wheels, and better fit n finish. Having said that, my cheap ones are still steel, and will probably last longer than me. Only the ease of use of a front headstock stand would make me buy a more expensive one... the rears are no biggy, basically all the same.

I've got front and rear paddock stands available that used to once support my Aprilia Shiver for cleaning and maintenance tasks. The front has pointy bits that go under the end of the suspension rods. The rear has clips for bobbins.

Offers over $200 for the both of them will be warmly considered.

I have 2 from house of custom. both excellent build quality. One is the universal I use for both VTR250 and SV (width adjustable swingarm lbrackets). The other is a single sided jobbie for the speed triple. The steel is even thicker on the speed triple jobbie.

I highly recommend them - price aside.

Will they not fit the new Suzuki?

I am looking to buy another rear stand - the flimsy one I have bent at the weld on the lifting bar and the design was lacking in there was not enough clearance for the rear guard which had to be pushed in to get the levers under bobbins. It also cost a lot more the the House of Custom stand.

I don't have a front stand - do they all (House of Custom) allow the front wheel to be removed? Might be a dumb question.
