    Swingarm stand wanted to borrow

    Colapop is having 'issues' with his PC and can't start a thread. He wants to borrow a swingarm stand so's he can service his chain etc. Anyone in L/H - handy can lend him one suitable to lift a RF900??
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Thanks MSTRS. And that's anyone in Welly (not restricted L/H) It'll probably have to be something heavy duty as the RF is no light weight!! I need to clean and adjust the chain. I also want to have a good look at the suspension - it seems very squishy.
    Ta in advance.

    find a bit of wood about a metre long, pull bike towards the side stand and it should lift on to the front wheel and the stand, put wood under right foot peg

    I've got one, but it's setup for bobbins. I presume you want the L bracket version?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Still? Did those instructions not help?
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    I like that advice (coz wood is good) but then the chain and bits I want to get at are on the low side. Thatwould make things difficult wouldn't it?
