What stand to get, and where do you buy them?

Most are configured to work with spools on the swing arm. Stock the SH didn't have them. Unless you are going to install spools, you want to look for a stand designed for use without spools. There are some that do both.
I would spend the extra money for an Abba stand.

I followed this thread to make mine.

Word of advice, look at the CM Woodcraft
and Pitbull height adjustable stands.
You can buy stands a lot cheaper but none stronger.. Another thing too on our Hawks the common paddock stands raises them way too high. Makes it very difficult and awkward to lift, and even more fun to lift the rear wheel to slide in the axle, hold the brake caliper bracket on the tab and not bind the chain.
Same for their front stands.as well. I have multiple stands and the regular ones just collect dust in the basement.
The pitbull and Woodcraft are worth every penny.
I have one of the first pitbulls, bought when he first started the company over 20yrs ago. I have become emotionally attached to it just like my Hawk.

They have decent prices, and Motomummy as well or you can go direct.
