I'm just looking at them myself at the mo. To my mind the Hein gericke one looks the most sturdy and has the added advantage of a tie down loop on which allows you to strap the back of the bike down to lift the front wheel instead of using a jack.

I think that will be the one I go for as you are looking at 100 quid for a reasonable pair of paddock stands any way and they won't allow you to take the rear shock out or drop the forks (unless you go for the even more expensive front type)

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I love the German-English on that page...
The bike becomes through spinning the clamping bolts and nuts connected certainly with the lifter. Jacked up it becomes through pushing down the lever arm.

Because the lifter is estimated almost middley, it is with many motorcycles now well possible to lift up the front area too with a tie down strap.
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
