I had the problem and opted to fit a centre stand as i cannot use a paddock stand while out on the road davey, so that was the reason i got that and it was more expensive than the paddock stand but its on and fitted now.
@thatmanfromyorkshire I sold the bike in the video a while ago, my current bike has a centre stand, I do prefer centre stands but if someone's bike can't be fitted with one then a paddock stand is very useful.
hey pal goat one o those stands an aw an i understand yer accent it's no that bad bein scottish in scotland ... just orderd the matching front one as my speedo drive took a knock off my lock that was on my brake disk grrrrrr i can be forgetfull so have some work to do .. but will be handy for oil changes / brakes and everything else we are sorted just cant level the bike any other way.. the front one is only £17 plus £6 postage good video and quality stands
I just bought this exact stand model from ebay as my Honda Hornet doesn't have a center stand which is a pain 0 the problem is I need another person to hold the bike up while I use the paddock stand as the bike is far too heavy to do this alone.. these are fantastic things for the price, they really make things easier maintenance wise.
@gpzDave In your one video in the heavy snow / Subaru with two friends I think u said one's name was Garret, with your accent it was hard to make out but u know who I mean. Does he have a channel with vids?
@zakyum Oh yes sorry, I thought you might have been talking about that video, but I wanted to make sure. His name's Gareth, he doesn't have his own channel at the moment but he does have a video camera so maybe he'll post videos soon. I will probably make a video promoting his channel if he does in the future. :)
@chox2001 It's handbrake is totally stuck on, it won't move at all, it's on so hard the front wheels will spin and the rear is still locked up. Even though I have left the handbrake off for 2 weeks hoping it would work off itself... :(

@2wheelsteve I'm afraid not :( This is the first bike I have had that doesn't have one. And I miss it. The stand is almost as good.

@2wheelsteve I mean the paddock stand is almost as good as a centre stand.

@gpzDave get a hammer and tap on the backplates of the rear brakes they should release unless the cable is seized up.
best to leave with handbrake off if its there for a while.
sorry to msg about the subaru on this vid.
