Trackside Rear Stand

Last time I was up his way, I snagged Fateddy's Trackside Rear Stand. It sat in the corner of my garage until tonight, when I used it to raise the back of my red '92 while installing its new centerstand.
This rear stand uses swingarm paddles to lift the swingarm upward and hold the rear of the bike. I have had lots of experience with spool-type swingarm stands but never had any luck finding a good paddle-type that would fit the XJ. It's swingarm seemed too narrow.
The Trackside rear stand fits the XJ perfectly and Fateddy already had it set up. In about 5 seconds, I had the bike up and on the stand, without a helper. Smooth, easy and without a lick of fear. It's a great alternative to the center-stand and one that'll work well when we're doing 2015 rally maintenance.
If you're in the market for a rear stand, I highly recommend this one.
