bike stands, what do ya'll prefer?

RACER X · 09-15-2009, 09:12 AM

so i've always been a pitbull fan (guess we shouldnt have sold them when we sold the SV), but seen some T-rex one's that looked nice, and at ~$110 for the pair, alot more beef then handy stands. but the busa is a heavy bike so should i spend the $ or what do ya'll use?

everyone seems to like t-rex that have them, but pitbull are just so nice

I know I kept mine after I sold the CBARRR and intent on keeping them in case I get another sportbike.

We've got Pitbulls. I've also heard other people insist that there are less expensive ones that are just as good, but we got a helluva deal on ours, and love em.

I love my T-Rex stands....

Before you buy a stand, see if someone has one that you can try first.
Alot of stands won't work with the Gen II bike because the taillight sticks out further than the rear tire, which will not allow the bike to get on the stands.

I use stands from www.motrax.co.uk
I got them from the local dealer for around $100 for the rear.
I will take a pic when I get home.

It looks like this one.

I've got a Vortex rear stand. It was a solid price...and it's pretty sturdy. That being said, would love to get a PitBull.

That's why you get the one-armed Pitbull. I have used this on 6 different bikes, no issues

I have the pit bulls for the buell and t Rex for the sv. Both are good, yes the pit bulls are a bit heavier, but not 3 times the price heavier. Had someone other than pit bull made an 1125r specific stand I prob would not have gotten them.

T-Rex here, and I like them. I used to have an issue with the rear stand's handle snagging on the rear mudflap reflector. Simple fix- removed the ugly rear mudflap reflector.
