You need a set of these that will fit your new stand, make sure the size is correct, although one would hope they are standard.
Not sure where you are in the world, but this is what’s needed or similar: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/7030273481?iid=314217848609

Chris.

PS. It looks like you could be in New Zealand.

PPS. Welcome aboard

You can fit bobbins...

Some have had a block welded on to the bottom, drilled & tapped.

Some have used Rivinuts into the swingarm & screwed in the bobbins.

Some have just drilled the swingarm & tapped the hole to size & fitted.

Some use a threaded bar through the spindle with bobbins on the end...Ok for chain lube/adjustment but you cant remove the wheel with this type.

Finally if you can find or make some adapters/hooks that go on the spindle...Again Ok for chain lube/adjustment but you cant remove the wheel with this type.

Or as Chris said get some replacement cups for your stand.

Or better still invest in an ABBA stand...

ABBA stands are great. Bur, I got one of these the other day https://www.constands-power.com/en/ and they are wonderful as well. Fidddly to set up but being able to wheel the bike around with both wheels off the ground is super helpful.

That's me I drilled and tapped the holes 25mm up from the bottom of the swingarm and 107mm in from the backend. Swingarm thickness is approximately 4mm thick. I used bobbins with 8mm diameter thread bolts, fine thread is best,

Chris.

Thanks so much everyone
Very helpful yes in new Zealand.

Me, too. They even put up with sitting in the bike while it's on the stand, so plenty strong enough. +1 for the M8 fine thread.
