Great idea. So ordering one.

Nice, but if anyone has a Duc 1198 or Panigale, don't use this. Your kickstand is mounted in your engine cases, which makes it very weak. Apparently a few 1198 and Panigale owners have tried to do "kickstand garage turns" and ended up needing a new motor because it tears out a chunk of the engine case.

Wow! Good to know, heh.

They're making a killing on that PackJack. $45 for something that probably costs less than $10 to produce, nice. Wish I could invent something useful...

Spoof has one. Worked great for lubing our chains when we did a 1200 mile trip where it rained every day. Only annoying thing is having to adjust the bolt (for height) when going between bikes.

Idiotic design.

how does it really work? i open up the link. the rear tire remains on the ground...? Looks a bit flimsy...I see caution all over this.

You use it with your kickstand down, so no chance of it going over. It just lifts the right side of the bike higher while the kickstand holds it up too. YouTube has a couple of vids... Works as advertised it seems

Or just get a real bike that has a center stand :)

OR you can just use any piece of aluminum or steel or wood. I use to do this in FL when I needed to adjust the chain at the spot. Used a wrench one time, worked fine.

In the video it looks like the tire is still on the ground, but it's actually up just enough to spin.
