Could someone please recommend a good quality rear paddock stand for a 2018 Panigale V4 Speciale thank you
Gee-tech if you are loaded and can wait a bit. Ducati/Gubellini is robust and does the job (I have this one)
Pierobon if you are proper loaded … but I also have a spare Ducati performance grey one if you want it? Where are you in the Uk? Bit heavy to post…
quick question if i may please : this might be a dumb question - do these paddock stands need any mods doing to the v4 in order to work? or can i simply buy 1 and use it as is with my v4? i know bobbins are used on other bikes so i assume i'd need them on my v4 (it has none).
Sssa single sided swing arm from 748-v4 are the same stand .. just the size of the pin is bigger from 1098 on. The 748 size pin also fits a 999 etc and works
I could do with a laugh- how much? They say if it looks right, it usually is. And that does look right…
€676 + VAT and import duty, if bought from the Pierobon web site, although no stock shown, you have to request one. I know of 2 brand new, latest iteration, Pierobon stands currently for sale in the UK at £750 each. Andy
£1,500 for a pair of paddock stands? Wow! They do look great but I think I’ll manage with what I’ve got
Not a pair, two rear stands. I’m told Pierobon’s latest rear stand has a slightly higher lift and in reality, is aimed at race teams rather than cheapskates like you and me Andy
Tasty... bet they still don't come with sliders though. Gotta Protect the hardwood floors in the lounge otherwise the missus will kill me (more) https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media...niture-movers-sp661-na-reusable-3-5in-4pk.jpg
Have u looked at Dynamoto really expensive but u can move bike around easily. Had to get it as a broken wrist meant difficulty moving bike I posted a similar reply with YouTube link
I’ve just bought this lovely paddock stand for my V4S but it’s not for a Ducati. Is the correct pin size 40mm for my bike? I’d like to confirm before having it machined down. My vernier says 40mm will do but I’ve also seen 40.7mm advertised.
Agreed, Harris are the best. However it will have to be second hand unless you find someone with stock, because they stopped manufacturing them earlier this year. Just to add.... the earlier Grey Ducati Performance ones and the Pierobon both have the bar you can slot in to lock the rear wheel to remove the wheelnut. Very useful.
Hmm not convinced with using the lock bar. The one and only time I used it on my 998 many years ago, it bent when trying to undo the wheel and you have to be really careful to protect the wheel from damage by at least putting some padding between the bar and wheel. I much prefer to lock the wheel using the rear brake or have someone sit on the bike and apply the brakes if possible, though I realise if you are on your own this is not an option. I have seen some people suggest putting the bike in gear but with a 230Nm nut to undo (on a V4 at least) that's a very bad idea if you value your gearbox.
