AjsFazer1000 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hi so I've just bought a 1998 Yzf thundercat she's a project it's fair to be said. I've bought 2 paddock stands to do all the maintenance myself (or try) and the rear has bobbin adaptors. Anyone know where these fit on the thundercat as in struggling to find any specific for the cat? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted January 1, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 1, 2018 Unless you drill and fit the threaded bosses they don't. Things like the r6, cbr's and fireblades have bobins. For the rest of us who don't want to lap the ring road in record time we make do with rubber covered u brackets that just lift the bike under the sw arm. They fit most anything. You have the freedom to move them up and down the sw arm to get the most stable position, or to suit the width of the wheel/sw arm. You may be able to get something that fits around the spindle? not too sure tbh. My bikes are all from the 80's and before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 If your rear axle is hollow you should be able to get something universal, will be fine for chain cleaning etc. No good for removing the wheel though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malky Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It may be a bit late if you already have the paddock stands but I have a Thunderace and use one of the Abba Stands https://abbastands.co.uk/ they locate in the swing arm bolts. Good luck and it'll save you drilling & tapping which always sounds a little scary in a load bearing area!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
