 :bow-blue: Brilliant idea, I may adopt it as I have lowered my bike and I find it can be an issue placing on the centre stand.

To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Very smart, and marginally easier to fabricate than the nucleur option 🤣

Woodyflyer  :text-woo: :text-woo:   Top job.
In my garage for most previous bikes, I run the front wheel into a wheel chock stand and then use a paddock stand to lift the rear.  If I still need the front wheel to spin I use a jack to lift it out of the chock .

I have an ABBA stand but I can't use it on my Guzzis (2)  or my XJ600 because the fittings are not (never have been)  available.

No matter as the Guzzis centre stands are dead easy to use
