Making a paddock stand
 

Hi,

Decided to make a single sided paddock stand to fit my 996 as I don't have one at the moment and the material only cost me £12.
I'm just after a little info on spindle diameter and length that it goes into the hub.

Thanks for any info,

James

Mine is 26 mm diameter and 3 inches long if that helps

Metric and imperial,lol

Thanks for the info.

James

No girth and no length, you are in a sorry state Paul. :D

Oh funny ha ha :) its not what you have its what you do with it that counts has no body told you that Phil :)

he's too old to remember Paul ;)

Done the first prototype of my paddock stand(no laughing at the back)and everything seems fine except the spiggot that fits into the hub only goes in 40mm.
I've used 25mm bar for the spiggot and was wondering what diameter other paddock stands use and how far they should go into the hub.

James

you should work for Ducati; those welds are better than the 1098 swingarm ones!! :lol:

The spiggot needs to be a snugg fit in the hub or the bike will fall over;)

Took the spiggot off today and turned down in the lathe to 22mm and its a real good fit.

Looks a nice strong job, just needs painting red:)

Thats the next job as soon as I give it one last trial fit.Cheap as chips to make too.

It looks fantastic. Great skills. You should make more. I'll buy one!

I think I will refine the next stand and post up another picture,looking at inline roller blade wheels for the next one.

That sounds cool. I've done a drawing of how i think it should look. Hope it helps lol.

I must have one, at any cost - I'll post my credit card to you.

PMSL :D

Needs more bracing I think.lol
