December 15, 201015 yr Anybody seen Hydraulic jacks anywhere? needed to lift heavy-ish motorcycle as has no centre stand, so doesn't need to be great quality. Need the "scissor" type with wheels... Thanks Edited December 15, 201015 yr by CGW
December 16, 201015 yr Hello, you need one of these paddock stands. Doubt you can find one here, you could try "the red baron" in BKK. Get someone to carry one over for you, avoid customs at all costs. Failing that, I have workshops and can make you one. The bike will not be safe raised on a car jack, what bike is it by the way? Be careful, don't damage the bike by having it fall over. Another suggestion, visit Bira race circuit and ask the guys racing there where they got their stands from. I have never asked, but I bet they make their own.
December 16, 201015 yr OR alternatively you could post in the bikes forum and probably someone there could help you.. I bought one years ago when I first got here at one of the big department stores, Tesco, BigC, Carrefore not sure which..
December 16, 201015 yr Author Have to jack the bike up, then can put the original centre stand in, (cannot leave on due to aftermarket exhaust system) then release the jack, paddock stands would be easier but would also have to fabricate adapters from the axle for the paddock stand, for the few times need to work on bike with centre stand in place not practical to go this route. Would be just a few minutes job to install centre stand with a hyd jack, been using car manual jack. Edited December 16, 201015 yr by CGW
