Flipmeister's Paddock Stand

[Sidecar Flip]

Instructions are wonderful. My wife wrote them. She's my instruction writer.

I might be off base concerning lug hole sizes as I assumed that it had everything to do with the fixturing process than Triumph uses to fixture the bikes as they travel down the assembly line through various operations as the bike is assembled.

I assumed that the lug hole size changes were due to standardization between the Hinkley line and the Taiwan line because some bikes are assembled in Taiwan and some in the UK (some models, specifically the Bonnies and variants are assembled in Taiwan). Even my '02 Centennial Bonnie with the sidecar has the same lug holes under it's belly.....

Now, if your new bike has 1/2" (13mm) lug holes, then my theory holds no water but I'm prepared with an included drill bit if the lug hole is less than 1/2" (13mm).

I've never seen them bigger that the 1/2" (13MM) dimension but if they are, at some point, I'll address that with a larger pin. No problem.

Mine is a 2009 and I had to drill the holes. Also when I drilled the holes I stepped up the drills, another words I started with a smaller drill and worked up. If you try drilling it with the 1/2" drill first it will just bind up and snap.

I cannot find the picture anymore but somebody makes the same paddock stand in europe except painted red
flip look it up you might get royalties paid !! and the look on this bike is rather different

Great service from flip. I ordered stand last friday and it was delivered this morning.
I live in Ireland so US and Irish postal services were on track.
I was a little nervous using it at first and had my son on standby but it does the job as stated.
regards to flip

Ordered my stand 22 June, Flip shipped it 24th, arrived at my local Post Office in Australia 30 June, picked it up next day and Rocket was sitting on it Friday.....now that's what I call service!!!

How far does the back wheel come off the ground when using the stand?

The hole diameter on my new roadster is 8mm (just)

cheers

about 50mm and I think with a small jack placed under the sump I think the front wheel would be easily lifted just by letting the bike rock back onto the rear wheel.

About this far.

Yes. Or a small block of wood under the front of the stand.

Remember, you have to factor in any alterations to the rear shocks. I opted for 12" Progressive in lieu of the stock 11.5" on my '05. I place a piece of plywood on the ground first to add to the rear tire lift when on the stand. Otherwise, my bike is on the stand but the rear will not spin free.

See ya.

setp by step pictures for those of us lacking in engineering imagination?

Could you perhaps post a few pics showing the process? - Using the lift bar etc.?
The faint-hearted want to make sure they can do this without dropping the bike.

Do you have one that will work on the Roadster? Not sure of the hole-size.
