Prism socket

Prism sockets are used on motorcycles to hold assembly stands on the rear wheel. These are metal turned parts that are mostly made of aluminum or stainless steel.

The prism sockets are approx. 20 × 30 mm in size and are reminiscent of spools of thread (prisms).

They are screwed to the rear fork of a motorcycle.

So-called fork mountings from assembly stands grip these prismatic sockets . The rear wheel of the motorcycle is raised a few centimeters above the ground and locked in place using a double-sided lever. Assembly work can now be carried out on the rear wheel of the motorcycle, for example to replace the wheel or the drive chain and the sprocket.

commitment

V-block sockets are used on motorcycles that, for structural reasons, do not offer any points of attack on the rear fork for a work stand with flat mounts - especially motorcycles with a single swing arm.

advantages

Prismatic sockets offer the advantage that the assembly stand can be used very quickly (with a little skill, even by a single person) and the motorcycle is securely picked up to prevent it from slipping sideways.
