I strongly recommend getting a high quality one eg. Motrax that uses swingarm bobbins. So much easier than the cheap tubular ones that have L shaped pads you need to reposition every time

The trouble with that is that my Cbr is a 1992 there no facility for bobbins.
So I'm going to have to have the ones with the cups instead of hooks. :(

If it bothers you, R&G do offset bobbins that replace the plates on the side of your swingarm. There's not one specifically for a '92 CBR600f but if you take the dimensions it might be worth an email to ask if any would fit.

Thanks for the info mate.
I might look into them and see what they cost.
I don't want to spend to much just in case I don't like the paddock stands having not used them before.

Took my centre stand off the FZ, when it came to cleaning and maintenance just put it back on loose without the return spring. Took all of thirty seconds, easy.

Top idea mate, I might give that a go if I don't get on with the paddock stands.
