I'm taking a friend to Donington on Thursday and managed to borrow some tyre warmers... but it hit me today that I dont have any spare track stands!!!! Looking for front and rear track stands.... but would need boxing up and sending via courier ASAP! Rich.
If you don't mind a minor detour I have a set u can borrow. I'm a few minutes off junction 25 M1 and I'm off work Thursday. The rear is for small diameter pin but I have a conversion sleeve which will fit Front is Harris rear is constand
That would be great.... I presume I don't need to fit any bobbins? I'm hoping to drive down on Wed night, so would be passing your way around 7.30 -8.30pm, would that be convenient for you?
If they are going on a 1198 no, rear picks up through rear spindle. Front sits under fork bottoms. Just checking the rear...
Shitter, just checked the rear, when I made the sleeve it was for a genuine ducati paddock stand, it doesn’t fit my constand pin. I have a spare pin but it needs modifying, Without access to a lathe I’m stuffed
40mm is the larger size, 1098/1199/1299 etc. smaller pin is 939sp/848 etc 25.8mm I have a 25.8 pin in my rear paddock stand
I have on that has a 42mm spindle... Measured this afternoon with a digital vernier gauge... I did have an 1199 that it fitted, but it doent fit my 1299?!
I have 2 rear stands, one with a 40mm and another with a 42mm. I remember using the one with the 42mm on an 1199, but my current 1299 only fits with the 40mm one! Anyway, thanks to Andy800, I think I'm sorted for this week. I've also seen a pair on eaay that will do the job for the next track day.
Saw pic of great improvisation the other day fri a front...a tool box ether side of the front with the bottom of forks balanced on them...need an exclusion zone for not getting knocked but brill ingenuity
