front and rear motrax aluminium paddock stands

and some 1 piece bobbin bolts

the bobbins wont fit an L without spacers (middle set) but are perfect on an H, and i managed to get the front paddock stand for £39.99 new as the guy had listed it with the wrong "buy it now" price ! (listed with the price of the steel one)

I saw them, really good buy!!!

I stumped up for some harris stands, a chap offered me a pair for £100 delivered.

do the harris ones have hooks that lock into place ? i hate the cheap ones that slide about all over scratch the swingarm and dont always catch both bobbins.. thats partly why i went for the motrax ones, that and they look cool.. and with the miss-priced front stand it was ~£120 delivered for the pair :)

fair play to the seller, he confirmed despatch, then an hour later admitted he'd listed it with the wrong price after i'd emailed my thanks for letting me know.
could easily have refused to send it, or sent a steel one, but has kept his word and honoured the listing.

also, the bobbin's, the seller has said he'll go back to his supplier and get ones made that WILL fit an L.

they are heavy, but shouldnt mark up and deteriorate like the ally ones. cheap too at £6.99

yeah the top bolts down locking the lifters in place.

I used the ones with the swinging hooks and i've had a few near misses with the bike nearly falling plus you dont always get decent ground at the race track.
