Just bought a universal sport bike stand combo (front & rear) used for cheap cheap cheap! So cheap I didn't even bother to see if it works with the R3...which leads me to this question: what size spool does our bike require?
6 mm. Hope the 'cheap' stand works out. Careful, though - the money you save on a cheap stand can be more than offset by the cost of the bike falling off said cheap stand.
And as a tip when assembling cheap stands, replace the weak zinc/galvanized nuts and bolts with rated* stainless steel units, and use Loctite on the threads. This will decrease the possibility of corrosion and of stripping threads, and will increase strength.
Does anyone know the distance between the swingarm bolts on either side? I don't have my bike yet so I can't measure. I'm trying to figure out if both the front and rear stand for this guy will fit our R3s. I'm assuming it should since the owners manual says the widest part is about 28.3 inches.
