Current ride: Buell XB12ss Long
Location: Essex
I've just bought an R & G paddock stand for my XB12 Lightning, but it's not wide enough by about 30mm. I have considered trying to bend it, but I don't want to damage it in case I have to return it. I have R & G bobbins fitted, so would really like something that fits these.
Has anyone got any recommendations?

Oxford heavy duty from Ghost bikes, £29.99. I had the same concern and found this one that fitted. :D

Trevor, Harris performance is only open Monday to Friday, but it is only 10 minutes from me so I can pick you one up for you if you want ;-) Duncan

Thanks for all the suggestions, chaps. I've just ordered a Harris one which is apparently specifically for Buells, so hopefully all my problems are over! :D

I've got a Harris......never use it cos I think the cups are shite......make sure you cable tie the front brake lever cos I've heard of them slipping out of the cups.
Just about any stand can be spread to fit a Buell.......I mainly use Micron and Scorpion stands.
