    Well Mr Yamaha is an absolute cunt, and the XJ6 doesn't have the little cotton reels on the swingarm for paddock stands.

    No problemo! I use these:

    But, having my old paddock stands for 2 years now, I decided to buy some new ones. These:

    But..the rear is too small. The rear stand is too low...it doesn't even touch the swing-arm to lift it off the ground.

    I've checked the site and they don't come in different sizes...so what the hell? What kind of a midget bike are these stands made for?

    I think that's a small make, its only 12.2inch to the bobbin hook on them according to the description. Just checked ours and its 16 inch on ours...

    Old and worn. They've been kept outside for 2 years so fancied some new ones.

    They still work though, just used it to lube chain as this one was too small :mad:

    That's because you've got the cotton reels :)

    The L brackets are the same height as the stand, where the cotton reel brackets have a good few cm rise.

    One cm more and I'd be clear haha, its so annoying.
