Ducati 1098 rear paddock stand recommendations

[mushee53]

Hi All

Anyone recommended a rear paddock stand ? I'm aware they have stopped making the official one and the 1199 stand needs modifying to fit.

The R&G version looks solid but wanted to get a few opinions.

Thanks

Smiler, do you have any fitment issues with the official one ?

I'm reading about a 40 or 42mm pin sizing on the ebay ones and wondered which to buy. Did sizing vary through the 1098/1198 models ?

Yep, after a good chat with a Ducati dealer we established the first year or so of 1098's had a spindle size of 42mm and then they changed to 40mm.

Managed to find a stand with a 42mm, thanks for all the help.
