This stand supports the bike at the swingarm pivot point - it is not as quick and easy to use as a rear swingarm stand, but there are some jobs for which you can’t use any other stand. Because it takes all the weight off the rear suspension, it allows you to work on the rear shock easily. The lifting pins engage in the holes in the end of the swingarm pivot pin, or in the hexagonal recess in the head of the fastening which holds the pin in place. Some models don’t have any suitable lifting point on the swingarm pivot pin, but have other points which lend themselves to pickup points for this stand. The Ducati 1098 can use this stand if supplied with a different set of lifting attachments - it picks up on a pair of frame recesses for engine mount bolts.

This stand has adjustability for height, width and offset for footrest clearance, and comes with different pins, so it suits almost any bike.

On most bikes the rear end will naturally lift as the centre of gravity is slightly in front of the lifting point. However, because it is lifting close to the bike’s centre of gravity, it is easy to rock the bike so that the front wheel lifts off the ground.

Part Number AS3106

When you need to remove the entire front or rear end you can hold the bike up with these Tee Stands. A bar passes through at an appropriate point and the Tees hold it up. Adjustable for height. It’s a 2 person job to put the bike on the stand.
