Paddock stand

[owlduke]

Quick question for those with some experience, i've got an Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, and while messing around in the garage the other day, i started wondering.. if I use a rear paddock stand on the bobbins , will it actually lift the bike high enough that the center stand is completely off the ground? Just trying to figure this out before I go out and grab a stand.
Appreciate any insight!

Yep, yep. If you're using a proper rear paddock stand on the bobbins, it will lift the rear wheel and the center stand will usually hang free. But make sure the stand arms are adjusted to fit properly so you get full clearance.

Thanks for the tip, just to doublecheck though, when you say 'adjust the stand arms', do you mean the width between the arms or the height? Also, have you noticed if certain paddock stands work better than others with the Bobbins for a snug fit?
