Just sold my paddock stand and bought a used "ABBA" device that hooks into the swing-arm pivot. (Lots on eBay!) Not quite as quick as a paddock stand, and more expensive; but it supports the bike much closer to the centre of gravity, so you can rock the bike and raise the front wheel too; and it doesn't interfere with the chain adjusters. According to their blurb:
10 Reasons why to buy an Abba superbike stand...
Totally safe, 1 person operation-guaranteed
Totally secure as the abba superbike stand locks onto a solid point, unlike a conventional paddock stand.
Rear suspension is not under compression. There is no unnecessary load on the shock. The shock can be removed.

The abba superbike stand has fitting kits designed specifically for your bike.
With the abba superbike stand both wheels can be suspended off the ground at the same time by using the abba front lift or your own jack/prop.
The abba superbike stand will not scratch any part of the swing arm, unlike some conventional paddock stands.
