Guest Ragin' Pit Bull Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Just received the factory workstand for the V11. It seems to work pretty good and I like the fact that I can get both wheels off the ground with the prop they supply. I'm not too happy with the fact that the stand will eventually round out the nuts they clamp to. I'm going to see if I can finagle some spools to cut down on the wear and tear. Anybody go through this already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janusz Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 In the meantime try doing what I am doing and as a result my nuts are still sharp as new ; I always smear some thick oil on them and the stand seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squashed Nose Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Can both wheels be raised at the same time using this stand? I ask because I am looking to buy a stand and cannot decide between a conventional paddock stand and a pukka MG jobbie. Is the V11 stand the same as the one on the 1100 sport?

RichMaund Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 It comes with a spool shaped prop to place under the oil pan. That brings the front wheel up even with the rear. So it does hold both wheels up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jaap Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Brian, Contact your MG dealer, it is an original MG part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ragin' Pit Bull Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 how much do they cost? They are $196.07, part number is 00979717. If there are none in the country, it'll take about 6-8 weeks to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 At about twice the price, you can get a front and rear stand from Pit Bull. Quality costs, but these are worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janusz Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Sorry to contradict you Carl but IMO if there is one original accessory for our bikes which is the best in quality and design that must be that stand. Why look for anything more if you have a perfection right here? What i like the most is that it lifts the bike at the side plates and not by the swingarm.This way you can easily service not the wheel only but the whole rear suspension. also the additional prop lifts your front wheel in an elegant and simple way. The build quality is to the highest order too. And there is a nice MG sticker too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callison Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Janusz, you aren't contradicting anything. I merely said that Pit Bull stands are a quality item. They are and so is the MG stand. I wouldn't say that a Lockhart Phillips stand is worth much though, so that would be one to stay away from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 The "Central-Lifter" offered on http://www.becker-technik.de/ works fine. Kind Regards Jan Biesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
