I would consider an ABBA stand rather than a paddock stand.

You can buy them mail order from ABBA.

Welcome to our little corner of the www Johnny - and congrats on the new bike. :)

Get yourself an ABBA stand. Cheap, solid (very) and a piece of cake to use.

no they are not dave,the RWB cup is taller than the R/M one.but johnny has not said which one he is getting.and an NWS stand will not fit the RWB cup unless you have the arm extended.(i know) :wink: so like the others,hunt for an abba.(momma mea) :oops:

Welcome to the forum.

Didn't ABBA do a taller stand for the BCR?

I thought they were different but wasn't sure. I know this has been talked about before. I asked the abba man at the NEC cos I was unsure about the sticker on mine which said it couldn't be modified further - only difference it is longer

Here you go - my old BCR with the ABBA fitted...

Ideally, with the tall RWB 'Cup you need something under the stand to keep the rear wheel off the floor. The above pic is a tad misleading as the ground slopes away under the rear wheel - ordinarily the rear wheel will be sat on the floor with the stand on flat ground.

With a Mamola it should be fine, unless it's been jacked up very high with aftermarket suspension etc.
