Stand for bike allowing customers to sit on the bike

[wsn03]

Need a motorbike stand that will allow customers to sit on safely when they try our gear on

The bike is the company founders Suzuki Intruder.

Would one of these Motea stands do the job?
Anyone got one or any experience of them?

Actually found some reviews on the company on Trustpilot. Think I'll give this a miss

However will a front wheel chock be sufficient to keep the bike upright with customers climbing on and off?

No.

But the wheel chock and a rear paddock stand will.

Maybe a rear paddock stand with a threaded rod going right through the rear spindle, (assuming it's hollow!).
Ideally bolted to the floor.

Have a quick image search on the bikes on display at the NEC for example and they have solid stands bolted to them

You would need to the adjust the front of the bike to make it level, you don’t want uncomfortable customers trying on gear to buy.

I would use a stand like the one pictured and consider one on the rear too.

You could try speaking to Motolegends in Guildford to see what they use as they have a bike you can safely sit on.

Just a chock like that? I wouldn't trust it. Depending on how much the owner rides the Suzuki I'd be looking to do something line that BMW pictured. Essentially a paddock stand bolted to the floor with a long bar replacing the wheel spindle.
