Flipmeister's Paddock Stand

Rivco will be discontinuing their Rocket center stand. Once their current supply runs out it will be no more. Which sucks because I was writing to find out if it would fit a touring.

I bought one of his early ones and I must say it is a marvelous piece of work. Best materials, workmanship and well thought out. wish I waited for generation two with both removeable pins, but oh well.

The only drawback for what you are asking is the weight....this is a heavy item. It is a thick, quality steel and as such is not something I would want to permanently carry on my bike. Not sure what it weighs, but you might be giving up some horsepower and gas mileage to lug it around all the time....

You'll have the too small hole problem. Sometimes, a small hole is better than a large one (in some cases) but not in this case.

You will either have to enlarge the existing hole to the 1/2" diameter (if you have a twist drill that size) or order one from me. They aren't on site yet but will be shortly. I'll offer the drill bits at cost to those who need them.

I've considered using Black Rock on my wife but after 30 years, I'm not at all sure it would do any good........
