I recently sent bs-motoparts-uk an email asking if such a paddock stand was made for a GTR, regrettably its not. However if the demand was there.... :whistling: 

It's expensive, I agree, but it looks extremely well made and easy to use. If a few more of us contacted bs-motoparts, who knows they may manufacture one.

Hi wolf.
I saw them demonstrating this at the bike show.
As you say a bit pricey but a cracking bit of kit. :agree:

     i think abba do a stand very similar to that one , these are pricey but seem to do a lot more ,i cant see them being as easy to use as they look in the video,http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=r7PExjCtC9Yi ahd an abba stand for my last zzr and found it  a bit of a job to lift  my bike .much  happier
with my front wheel chock and  rear paddock stand .

Hmm, do ABBA do that type of lift for the GTR?

Abba don't list one for a GTR but they do for a ZZR, do both bikes have the same apertures for bobbins etc on the side frame?

I have the "normal" Abba stand and front wheel lift which I'm sure would fit a GTR, the beauty of the Abba system you buy the stand and just change the adaptor pegs from bike to bike.

Would have been useful today in changing the tyres. Could have taken both wheels off at the same time

So if that does work on a ZZR would it work on a GTR? Any ideas? If in doubt I'll call them on Monday to find out.

Also does the zzr weigh the same as the gtr? Wonder if the lift will handle the weigh difference.
