Hi Every one,

I have a front paddock stand in that at home in Australia that works well, but I need one in the UK.

I can't find the same design here in the UK so I'm hoping to tap into the knowledge base of the members to find a tried and tested option as getting it wrong and finding your bike horizontal can be costly.

with the boxer, most people just use the main stand and a jack under the engine to lift the front wheel. If the rear wheel needs to come off, just put something under the rear hub. Use a block of wood between the engine & jack.

That's what I do. I put it on the center stand and have my wife or daughter push down on the rear rack. Then I use wood blocks plus a hockey puck under the engine.
