Motorcycle Stands

[CAPTHARLEY]

Because the Concours is my first Kawasaki in 27 years (been riding and still have two Harleys), I have an excellent motorcycle lift which simply does not work for the C 14 (needs frame rails in the center of the machine). So I thought about motorcycle stands that are advertised in the cycle magazines. Before I bought any, I wanted to check with the forum "congregation" whether any of you have these stands work with the C14? The rear swingarm might be a problem with the shaft drive housing? Thanks for your help!

With a centre stand the use of one of those scissor lifts is questionable. I have one and have never ever used it. It was given to me by a guy who never used it and he was given it etc.
The "paddock" stands are for use on sports bikes with side stand only.
I now have the large elevating table. Never again will I bend over!

I use the main stand and a paddock stand in front, now both wheels are off the ground to clean. Frt paddock stand is the same as the one used for my ZX14.
