A stand is what allows you to work on your motorcycle by yourself: it lifts the wheel, holds it still, and frees up your hands. Here you'll find front and rear paddock stands, replacement center and side stands, footrests and plates. Our catalog features 33 active items from RD Moto, Kappa Moto, Booster, and CIF, including universal parts and model-specific replacements.
Motorcycle and Scooter Stands: guide, tips, and FAQs
Paddock stand or one to mount on the bike?
A paddock stand is a workshop tool: it lifts the motorcycle for maintenance, chain cleaning, or winter storage, and is then removed. A center or side stand, on the other hand, is a part of the motorcycle itself, replaced when it's bent or the spring has failed: that's a model-specific replacement.
Front or rear
A rear stand is almost always what you need: it lifts the rear wheel by resting on the swingarm pivots or the forks, and is enough for chain lubrication and storage. A front stand is used for working on the front forks, wheel, and brakes, and should only be used when the motorcycle is already stable on a rear stand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the paddock stand suitable for my motorcycle?
Most fork-style rear stands are universal, but you'll need bobbins screwed into the swingarm if yours is a swingarm type. The product description indicates which attachment each model uses.
Can I leave my motorcycle on the stand all winter?
Yes, and it's actually the best way to prevent tire deformation. It's best on a flat surface and with the motorcycle secured on one side.
Can a center stand be added if the motorcycle doesn't have one?
Only if the manufacturer provides mounting points on the frame. If there aren't any, there's nowhere to attach it.
Can the side stand spring be replaced on its own?
Yes, and it's a low-cost replacement: it's the part that usually fails first. You'll need a spring puller or appropriate pliers because the spring is under a lot of tension.
What difference do wide footrests make?
They distribute the weight over a larger surface area: on hot asphalt or gravel, they prevent the stand from sinking and the motorcycle from falling.
