Paddock stand for Duc HyperMotard

[nodrog:Me]

It looks quite similar to my Pit Bull single sided stand - in its general shape, but not in the details.

A few things that stand out to me are:
- you're going to crush your knuckles setting the handle down on the floor, and it will be a bit difficult to lift it up again without space to get your fingers underneath.
- with the handle pointing forward, you'll need to be careful that it doesn't foul the side stand. You can lift the stand, but it's just more difficult. The Pit Bull handle is cranked quite far out to the side - it's actually wider than the wheels. I mostly use it with the handle to the rear.
- the axle pin doesn't appear to turn. I think most of them are on bearings so that you can turn the wheel when it is up.
You probably don't need an adjustable height to the pin. Pit Bull is 410 mm to the centre of the pin when standing vertically.

his drawing shows a conventional swinging arm, which if correct doesn't need the pin to turn as the axle is stationary.

The first one built is going to be used on my zx6 which has a standard swingarm, so correct, no need for the spindle to turn.

If all goes to plan and I'm happy with the quality and stability I'll be building one for a mate, this one will require a turning spindle. So long as I can find everything I need off the shelf, I'll be going the bearing route, I'm sure it will be a lot nicer to use too

aws..you're a champ, thanks so much for the offer. I have just found the pit bull's measurements online, but if I need to know anything else, I'll definitely come take a look.

The spindle on mine is fixed. It just rotates within the hollow rear axle.

UPDATE CORRECTION - I've just checked the spindle and it is indeed set on a nice rotating bearing set-up.

How big is the bore in the ZX6 axle? I haven't really looked, but I've not seen a conventional axle with a bore large enough to take a single sided pin. My Brutale had a 43 mm pin, so stiffness was never going to be a problem.

25.8 mm pin on my Streetfighter (presumably a 26 mm or so inner diameter of my rear axle.

The ZX6's axle ID is 18.8mm.

I can get 18mm in mild steel, but the yield strength might be a tad low, medium and high tensile are available in 16mm, 20mm and 3/4", which will either result in a poor fit or having to pay to get it reduced.
