Paddock stand for Jota 120

You can use just about any type of paddock stand with varying degrees of stability. I've tried the ubiquitous Chinese made item that has U-shaped channels to locate under the swingarm. Because there is no positive fore-aft location, these are prone to slipping.
Better is to fix bobbins to the rear lower shock bolts and use one of the Chinese made stands that locate on them with a rotating C-shaped fork. If you want to splash the cash then a decent alloy stand could be substituted!
My preference is the Laverda race team item that uses the footrests for stability and unrestricted access to the swingarm, wheel etc, but it takes up a lot of space. You can climb all over the bike when on this stand with impunity. 20180325_123844.jpg
 
If you don't need to lift the rear and want it a one person operation, this one works absolutely great:

New Pit-Stand available

Friend of mine has developed a very easy one-hand pit-stand that works brilliant. It's made of very strong alloy tubes and is extendable from 290 - 390mm. If you want one, I can make them available for 30? plus postage. See details (in German) here: Pit-Stand

Hi @Laverdalothar

this would be great, my bike has rubber footpegs that are 40mm diameter, would the stand fit over them? If so I'll take one, let me know what you need

thanks

unfortunately, the ones I have left over are 35mm inside diameter and would only work with the alloy footrests of the original rearsets (or similar diameter ones).

I have 2 left

I believe they are made by someone in Italy - but I don't know who. Sorry!.
If you're stuck and only need one to sort your centrestand you're more than welcome to borrow mine. I'm less than 10 miles away from Cropredy.
