Did Ducati make one?
Are you still looking for one? Because I actually have a genuine OEM Paul Smart 1000LE paddock stand sitting right here in my shop!
It's crazy to see people claim Ducati never made these—they absolutely did, and they were included right alongside the Paul Smart 1000 SportClassic models back in 2006. It's a rare piece of Ducati history, and I happen to have the real deal.
Drop me an email over at laruizisabel@gmail.com with your location. I’ll happily send over clear photos of the stand so you can see it for yourself, and if it works for you, we can get it shipped out to your door!

Who claimed they didn't exist? I asked if the y did as they weren't listed on the PS part file and this kind of extra often is,
Do you have a photo to enlighten us?
Google says this:
No, Ducati did not sell an official, dedicated paddock stand specifically made only for the 2006 Paul Smart 1000 LE.
Instead, owners of the 2006 Paul Smart and other models in the SportClassic family had to navigate a unique lifting issue due to the bike's specific design
Thanks for the reply and the follow-up, and you’re absolutely correct to ask for confirmation given the rarity!
As you noted, Google’s automated search results—especially with AI summaries—can often get these niche details wrong. It’s simply pulling the standard catalog part number and assuming it was a single standalone product, which this wasn't.
If you look at the first image attached (the one with the pure white background), that is the exact item. I have that genuine stand right here in my inventory, and it is the correct piece of equipment.
The history on these is specific: Ducati didn't make a standalone retail paddock stand just for the Paul Smart. Instead, they developed a small, limited run of this specific OEM Ducati Performance SportClassic Rear Stand to be included with the bike as part of the initial delivery crate package in 2006.
It was designed specifically to accommodate the asymmetrical dual-sided swingarm of the Paul Smart (and Sport 1000) because standard stands often struggled to clear it properly. It's not in a catalog as an accessory because it was factory-direct equipment.
I hope this helps enlighten the topic! Since I have the real deal, we should move to email so I can send the final details.

Ah, OK, that explains it, as it was a Sport Classic stand and not specifivally for a Paul Smart - asking Google if there was a stand available for the Sport Classic range it says yes - made by FG-Gubellini
Google AI
- Optional Accessories: Ducati offered a specific Ducati Performance rear service stand (historically made by FG) as an extra-cost accessory through their parts catalogue rather than standard stock.
So was this only provided free with the Paul Smart and other Sports Classic owners had to buy it from FG's catalogue?
