Im sure this has been posted before, but is there a specific stand for the PS as i see our bikes have a very scratchable rear swingarm. Thanks in advance all advice greatly appreciated.
The original item is a pile of c**p. Too easy for it to slip off as happened to a couple of guys in US and also nearly had mine on it's side. I fitted the Corse Dynamics chain adjusters with bobbins (from Motowheels in the states), this is quite expensive but gives a much more stable setup: CORSE DYNAMICS Captive Rear Axle Housing: Ducati Sport 1000, GT1000, & Paul Smart
Hi matt Thanks for yr message. Like the look of the chain adjusters with bobbins. Is the ABBA stand not up to the job? Regards
I've the Ducati stand with the rubber covered cups and find it a good bit of kit. I will post pics when the rain stops (possibly September)
Lol. Look forward to seeing the pics. Just out of curiousity. The PS has been on its side stand fur about 2 years. Any possible downsides to this?
I see what you mean about the length of the stand in the photo. It's normal length , the camera is making it look long.
Abba stand also works really well, I use the one that locates in the swingarm pivots. On the standard item the rubber pads sit under the swing arm, on the PS the right side is curved which means very little flat area for it to rest on, hence the sliping problems. I think the GT/mono would probably be fine as both sides are straight iirc.
Always used an abba stand on my mono and would highly recommend it. Also Works well with axle stands under the front forks to remove both wheels when you need to get the tyres done.
Can't reccomend anywhere, I picked mine up at Ally Pally show about 5 years ago. Get the right fitting kit and the thing is bullet proof !
