I needed to borrow Charlie's (New12r) rear stand. He had lost the red rubber tubes that help grip the swingarm. Ann had some sort of grip drawer lining rubberish mat stuff. I cut a couple strips, and tied it to the posts with twine to keep the bike from sliding off the stand. Little did I know Charlie was going to LOVE the stuff. He said Ulys were very difficult to lift with a rear stand. We put his bike up on the stand, and it was VERY sturdy. He said I ought to post it up here. I had no idea the Ulys weren't rear stand friendly...now they are It's this stuff. http://www.organizeit.com/pogripit.asp Ann said you can even find it at the dollar store. Hope this helps someone. I'll see if Charlie will post a picture. |

i'm glad someone found a use for that stuff, every thing in the cabinet tends to stick to that stuff. |

Glitch, thanks for the idea! Charlie is right, the Ulys are difficult to lift without sliding off the stand. This will make life easier. |

Does anyone make spools for the Uly? |

Other than the Dark Horse Moto Spool/Sliders, I don't think so. Also, I haven't had any issues with sliding on either T-rex or Pitbull stands. |

Somewhere on Badweb, someone posted about using that stuff on the seat to keep the passenger from always sliding forward into him when braking. |
