Re: bobbins for paddock stand
you can buy them on ebay mate, but you have to decide how you want to fit them, some people say it's ok to drill into the swingarm, others say that's not a good thing. you can get a couple of alloy blocks welded onto the underside of the swingarm and drill the blocks and attack the bobbins, but that's not cheap.
I think drilling the swingarm is probably better, because although you might weaken the swingarm slightly, the alloy you lose is going to be replaced with the bolt from the bobbins, so I doubt you'll lose any strength, iirc you can get bobbins with all different thread sizes, I used M10 iirc.
having said all that, I still use my rear paddock without the bobbins, it has a pair of rubber cups the fit under the swingarm.

I use a cheapy rear stand from harbor frieght(usa). It has the rubber cups that hold the swingarm. Its not perfect, but it works ok. What i REALLY need to know is how to get a front stand that i can dissasemble my forks with!
