TEC Paddock Stand Mounting Kit – BSA Goldstar

Just got back from the bike mechanics after having the stand mounting kit fitted. Mechanic said it was a real quality piece if engineering.

Having watched a video of a report by a regular contributor to bikes, I watched his report on the BSA Gold Star, as I was in the process of purchasing one, and his comments about being unable to fit a centre stand, or a place to fit bobbins, I was quite concerned as I regularly used my center stand to do basic maintenances and check tyres for damage. I think this is abrilliant idea, and have just ordered one for my new bike. Thanks for making this important part available.

With the bike not having a centre stand and no provision to fit one then a paddock stand seemed the only option. Didn’t want the swinging arm type ones as never seem that stable to me . Fitted these mounts relatively easy , there’s a video if you need any instructions on how to do it that very good .
Had to make sure I got the bobbins in the right holes on the brackets as with my stand it comes writhing 1/4 inch of the exhaust but at least it clears it , so very happy 👍🏻

These components went on easily but do seem to require paddock stands with rigid not rotating hooks. My existing paddock stand, while it had bobbin hooks would not fit because the hooks were free to rotate and were unable to lift the bike even on the lowest setting where the stand was able to foul the Goldstar standard silencer. I had to get another stand more similar to that shown in the video. This is, to be fair, more of a problem with the bike design which limits options, one of which is to buy BSA's own stand. The idea though is to have one stand for all your bikes (if you're lucky enough to have more than one!)

Plain and simple and do the job. No more lack of center stand issues. Cheers team!
