What do you guys do for paddock stands?

That's the best thing about sidecars - they don't fall over when you leave them
Seriously though - I guess you mean for working on the bike ?
Lots of different ways of getting it up to a comfortable working level - at home - I use a scissor lift pallet truck thing - have used a normal bike lift in the past - lots of folk use stands - but you need enough bodies to lift the bike (I'm usually working alone - so not an option)...sure this has been discussed on here in the past...

All you will ever need. Also available in 900mm.

Cheers guys that's perfect!

I used 3 chairs with the backs and seats removed just leaving the tubular steel frames. Cheap as were purloined from local council office

What a pikey!! lol The Screwfix one's are what i used to use. Very good and won't break the bank. Lots of other uses too.

My Dad made some custom ones. They are tripod type stands that sit under the chassis. You can change all the wheels and under tray while its on the stands.

They are a bit tricky in a grass paddock like Cadwell but work fine everywhere else. You also need at least 2 people to get it on and off the stands.

Passenger on all fours - what else could there be?

Oh all right then!

TT 2015 forgot the stands. Into St.Nianians secondary school and bummed 3 chairs which were broken. Fair dues to the handy man he took the backs off them and away I went with the 3 of them on the back of the trusty cub 90.
