I e-mailed the company about a paddock stand. The reply is here.

I'm none-the-wiser.

What's a twin swinging arm?

The Ducati 916 (shape) has a single sided swing arm, yours is double sided - i.e. twin

The bobbins are the bits that screw in to the swing arm so that the "hooks" on the stand have something to push against.

The alternative to having hooks on the paddock stand is to have u shaped cups that sit underneath the swing arm.

If you have a "hook" type stand you will need to get the bobbins to fit your bike

Is that a 'hook type stand'?

What are 'universal cup fittings'.

(i'm suddenly feeling a bit thick..)

So, if it's the cups one, should they fit my swingarm? I guess so, if they're 'universal'.
