can you use a bobbin paddock stand on an 03 999. there are no threads to screw into.
Has anybody tried a reverse bobbin stand with the hooks on the swing arm and bobbins on the stand.

No you cant........but you can use a single sided swing arm type from a 996-8..............i do! much easier to use than the crappy 999 one!

Well done andyb, I have the 749 05 with bobbins but struggle on my own and guess whats hanging on the wall? my single sider from my 916 days. so simple its untrue

Yes but,no but,...........thats ok untill you want to remove the wheel.
The DP stand for 03/04 bikes has rubber cups that locate under the swingarm near the chain adjusters.Someone on here also used a Micron stand with success.

Try an Abba stand. Its a simple 1 man operation to lift the wheel with no danger of the bike falling.
