I've got a standard swing arm fitted to an LC and i would like to use a rear wheel paddock stand. I dont want to mod the swing arm, is there any aftermarket chain tensioners i can fit to the bike with the facility to use a rear paddock stand? Cheers in advance  |

On my mates LC, we drilled and tapped into the ends of the rear wheel spindle, then bolted in small bobbins. Works fine and you can just remove them when not needed.
Only downside is you can't fit the cotter pin, so may have to use a nylock nut instead.

You could cut the locating cups on the paddock stand and weld them on sideways ,, maybe đ¤
Then use on the existing tensioners đĩâđĢ

On skinny swing arm bikes I use a front paddock stand as they aren't as wide
The 2 rubber covered pins on each side go under the swing arm nicely

Me too. I have a cheapo eBay one and it works a treat on skinnier swing arms.

I tried the front paddock stand but it doesn't work because the brake rod is directly under the swing arm.
