Hey Bill,
No, sorry we only import the sportsbike stands and there is a fair bit to learn and expand into just through that if you want to be thorough.
Cheers,

Just figured i'd let everyone know, that my rear paddoc stand and sliders (just in case I get to play with another 4WD) turned up today. I gotta say, great people to deal with and they were delivered within a week of me asking about them. a
Pete, I'll email you about a front stand and a few other bits. Thanks again mate

Hey Darryl,
Thanks for the info.
There is good news and there is bad news.....
First the good one : We have been able to order another 5 different sizes of pins for the the head lifting stands
Now, the bad one : the sizes of them are not smaller, but bigger than the 18mm. So, the extra 5 pin sizes are as follows: 19, 20, 21, 24 & 27mm. So I think the simplest is to machine the 13 mm one down to 12
Cheers,
Pete

Thanks Matt,
It's good to hear that you happy with them.

seeing were talking about bike stands I want to ask this of the board. I have an Action paddock stand (rear) that I always used the L brackets for some reason lost the V brackets. Recently I found a spare set of V's that fit and bought the whatchamacallit knobs for the swingarm. But when I align the V's the stands handlebar is almost verticle and almost impossible to lift the bike up, where am I going wrong? <i></i>
Have you tried rotating the V's by 90 degrees (ie: remove them from the stnad and place them in after turning 90 degrees)?
"sometimes crime does pay"<i></i>
ahh excellent point pan, it never occured to me to do that thx will let u know next time i try. shud I be saying DOH <i></i>
Hey Volvi,
Those thingys you place the stand under are called Bobbins.
<i></i>
Tried that pan and no it didnt work out as the V can only be in one position to be vertical upright. I did manage to get the bike up but required way to much pressure on handlebar as handlebar was too vertical too. I wonder if im the only one having such difficulty.
Busgo, right throbbings I mean bobbins. <i></i>
Okay, so this is another long-shot, but all the technically minded people don't seem to be responding, so here goes...
Maybe switch the right and left side? <i></i>
Volvi I have the same problem as you. It take all my effort to get my bike up onto the rear stand and I can't do it alone.......I need someone else to hols the bike while I lift......and here I was thinking that this was the status quo with paddock stands. Not sure how to fix it. <i></i>
Volvi and Taubusa,
Are your stands ones from Kaneg?
If they are the same as mine in the photo earlier in the thread, the two sides are marked left and right and if they are not put together properly, the wheels don't sit flat on the floor.
This may be your problem.

"TAKE MY ADVICE"
I'm not using it anyway!<i></i>
Could be just poor stand design > ie leverage effect. The best and easiest I have found is the Anderson Stand they put out for the TL1000 as it's extra long in the rear to clear the rear guard as you lift and gives more leverage hence lifts with less effort.

Volvi if yout "V" ends are not the correct ones they may change the leverage and positioning of the stand. <i></i>
