Bought a new paddock stand and wanted to share some pics / thoughts. I used to have a motorcycle dolly to move my bike around the garage but gave it away when I sold my 848. Didn't think I would get another bike.
Instead of getting another dolly I decided to get a paddock stand that could function as a dolly. I really wanted the Bursig stand but couldn't afford to pay the premium price. Next preferred stand was Constands but they won't ship to the US. Decided to take a risk and try SV racing. Quick google search resulted in negative reviews. I reached out to the company and asked if they designed a stand for the 959. They said yes but haven't perfected it. They were willing to sell me one but warned it may not be perfect but if I'm willing to work with them, they would send me a new pin till setup is right. They were working with someone with a 1299 and thought they got the specs pretty close.
I received the stand and spent close to 2 hours trying to set it up. The mounting pin fitted perfect with no wobble but I couldnt get the front tires to lift off the ground.
I finally got the stand set up to where I'm satisfied. The front doesn't lift as high as the rear but enough to make me happy. The stand is surprisingly solid being a knock off bursig. I was able to sit on the bike and bounce a few times with no issues. Stand held bike very solid.
Anyhow, here are some pics:
