The stands will be at CD8, I have just made a bulk purchase of Australian designed and manufactured  with "real" Aussie steel off Geoffery so come and see me....I will be by the start line....the stands are the bees knees....one of my mates walked in and saw them and turned his nose up at them....we then gave him one to try under his bike and you wouldnt guess what happened next....he bought 2....another happy customer....so you had better get in early....I will be taking orders so Geoffery will crank up the production line to get them delivered asap. Support Geofferies dreams to be an enterpreneur and then he can retire up to sunny QLD and live out his days riding old Kawasaki enduro bikes. 8).....by the way, this is the OZVMX product of the month.
QVMX.....Australia's #1 VMX club......leading the way.

I got a couple or three too - was impressed with how stable the bike is on them.   ;D

They look great.
One question though, can you lift the bike up with these using the rear arm as a lever or is it better to set the stand and lift the bike onto it?

Yes, lift up with the arm, no need to physically lift the bike.

Sorry I just noticed this.
What heights do you require?
Currently I make them in either 300, 350 or 400 high. You may need to check the ground clearance under the bike to see what sort of lift you require. The tall stands will lift the low bikes but it changes the leverage making it a little bit harder to lift.

I am out of stock at the moment and will be making some more over the next couple of weeks.

I'll do the measurements but Id guess a low stand for the 74 model - which will require the mods for an under slung pipe, for a 79 model I'm thinking a mid height would be good?
At the moment I have to lift it slightly to get an easy lift underneath it.

The 82 model is a mono shock so im thinking a tall one may be best for that?

Just an update on these stands for anyone thinking about buying one.
I was more than happy with my transactions from the seller, just as I thought to myself that he hadn't contacted me about the money going through, the stands were on my door step.

After unwrapping them I am very impressed with the build quality and general look. They suit the old machines so much better and the fact GMC make them in different heights to suit different models is fantastic.
The 350mm model in red looks like it was made for my 79 model, it's awesome.

Nice work GMC, I'll order plenty more when more bikes arrive and you sort the under pipe model.

Thanks Bio
Glad you liked them.



I have a couple of 300's, 350's & 400's in blue or red in stock at the moment.

Let me know when you have the under pipe model in 300mm ready for my 74 model, will grab the others then.
If I get the others before then, the incentive won't be there for you to make the underpipe model ;)
