Great Rear Paddock Stand for the BUSA - BUSGO - 04-04-2006
My wonderful little woman said I could get something for the bike for our anniversary back in Feb.
So I decided it was time for a rear stand and went searching.
I settled on this one from EBAY but the seller is local, at Gosford at least.
You can bid for $99 starter or buy right away for $125.
I negotiated and picked it up from his house.
You will notice that it has a really high action lever and is quite simple to lift the busa. The handle comes up to level with the brake light when the bike is on the ground ready to lift.
Nice colour too.

Was that "our anniversary" yours and your wife's, or yours and the bike's?

Busgo... saw that stand today at road Warriors (they are selling them for the manufacturer). Sturdy build, well finished, strong and an easy lifting action. Well worth the asking price. The older I get, the better I was. Regards.... Rob<i></i>

@PAN, It was the wedding 25th. She got a replacement wedding ring and was so happy she said I could have whatever I fancied..... So a bike stand it was.
(We also had a week on the Gold Coast) but I'm not gonna talk about that.....
@Astro, The guy I bought it off said he was a regular out there and I did hint that he should take a few with him.
The stand was the best value for money I could find.

Great Rear Paddock Stand for the BUSA - Taubusa - 04-04-2006
I bought a front and rear stand off them today. $270 for the 2 stands delivered to Sydney. I could have saved $30 if I went and picked then up myself. <i></i>

If there's enough interest what about a group buy.??? <i></i>
Re: Great Rear Paddock Stand for the BUSA - Blackkat - 04-04-2006
I have an Anderson stand (a friend got it for me for rebuild his R6) and in my opinion its a POS. It wobbles as you lift the bike up really offputting.
Anyway guys, how do these stands go for wobbliness???

I got an Anderson Stand as well. Doesn't wobble at all. It doesn't have as much leverage as these newer ones though... <i></i>
Re: Great Rear Paddock Stand for the BUSA - AstroBusa - 04-04-2006
Leonard... solid as. Very stable. I had a play today with one the same as Busgo purchased. Heavy duty tubes and real solid rest pins/supports. Once you get the pins/supports into the position you want, they can be locked in place with a locking nut - plus they wont rotate as the shafts have one flattened side (I know theres a tech term for that, but I'm not able to think of it at the moment).
The wheels seem more robust than I've come across before. I particularly like the fulcrum length - made the lifting pretty easy.
The older I get, the better I was. Regards.... Rob<i></i>
Re: Great Rear Paddock Stand for the BUSA - BUSGO - 04-04-2006
If you buy these stands, you have to assemble them.
Be carefull, the wheel sections are marked left and right and if you put them on the opposite sides the wheels don't sit flat on the ground. I didn't notice the stickers till after the first attempt.
Other than that, they are solid.

Having the grab rail fitted helps a hell of a lot in getting it lifted. Left hand on the rail, right hand pushing down on the stand.
I use a block of wood under the side stand to get the bike more vertical before lifting. This makes it much easier to get the stand engaged with the lifting lugs on the swing arm <i></i>

I seem to remember your front stand coming in very handy a few years back
