Hi all, question did both the 996SPS and the 748R originally come with that rubbish little paddock stand when purchased new as per the pic?
I can confirm that is the stand that came with the 748R but it certainly isn't rubbish. It does the job and it was free Andy
Mine is one of the first full Ohlins models, late 2001. I have no idea if the earlier Showa forks model came with a stand or not. Sorry. Andy
Also was available as a Ducati Performance branded item in black. Solid stand and gives a very easy one man operation, far better than most I've seen on the market
The good bit with this stand is that it doesn't have a handle out the back that can take up room in a tight garage as Roadtrip said
More than happy to take that rubbish of your hands,just pop it into a waste bin & i'll be round for collection sometime soon,ASAP
I think those stands came with the bike because they were used for transport to the dealer. I also have the Harris performance rear stand and that has a removeable handle to make it shorter for transporting the bike.
