Rear Swingarm Stand
25 Feb 2015 09:29
Any recommendations for a swing arm stand for a KZP? I like the idea of using it to work on the bike but don't want to carry around the centerstand. Mahalo in advance

i have this one.
the vinyl coatings that were originally on the "hooks"that the arm sets on have long since disappeared fromm mine.so you have to be very careful about bumping the bike and it falling off the stand.
i was rolling my banshee into the shop and hit the back wheel and knocked the z1r off the stand and it fell against the switch housing of my mill and caved in the side of my tank and banged my emblem up !!!
so the ones that hook bobbins are the more secure in my opinion.
these old bikes seem to like to be stored setting level tho and these stands are awesome for that.
esp if you have somewhat leaky valve seals needles/seats etc.
hth,

No center stand? That's the best way.

i've pitched every center stand i came across.(which is at least half a dozen)
except one,
that i kept.
once i was old enough to appreciate one.
still won't mount the heavy thing to a bike tho
cruisers use center stands
muscle bikes forgo such superfluous accessories that don't help overall power,handling or braking.

Re: Rear Swingarm Stand
05 Mar 2015 10:49'Powerplus tools'or something like that,I dont remember the exact name but twas cheap as chips and just as flexible.
It does work better with bobbins rather than the finger type things (both attachments were included) but you get what you pay for. Monkeys and peanuts etc. It does me OK and its a nice bright HONDA red!!!!.
