  1. 20260317_170120.jpeg Received and put my paddock stands together. I got them from SGS Engineering and they seem to be of amazing quality. Next day delivery was a nice touch.

    I now just need you guys to tell me under which parts of the bike they go? Does the bike need to be on the centre stand before attempting a lift?
     
  2. What's a centre stand?

  3. I usually have the bike on the side stand, locate the rear stand on the mounts on the stand. Then lift the bike upright and secure it on the stand. Front one is easy after that.
    Remember to put the side stand down before dropping off the rear stand then tip the bike over to the left. Easy peasy.
     
  4. Just make sure everything is stable and engaged before going for the final lift.
    Also, always do the rear first.
    Never try to lift the front on its own without the rear already lifted.
