I have the t-rex stands too (with triple). They work great, don't seem flimsy, and you can't beat the price.

If you want top notch quality that will last a lifetime...buy Pitbull.

That being said...I have a Vortex rear stand. Good quality. Not Pitbull but good.

Buy T-Rex. They're good stuff. My bike sat on them all winter and is on them right now. Can't beat the price.

I have a Vortex and a Pitbull rearstand. Both are good. To be honest...I actually like the Vortex one better. I paid $100 for the Vortex new and $100 for the Pitbull used.

I've been thinking of selling one or the other and using the $$ to buy a front stand.

Thanks for everyone's replies. I think I will probably go with T rex. From the pictures they seem of good quality, and both users on this forum are happy with them.

I have a T-rex set for the SV...
Have to invest in another set for the 1125 now... not sure what i'm going to go with. Gotta check to be sure the swingarm will be solid enough on the 1125, as there are no spools for that.

That's one thing I don't like about the 1125R. The swingarm looks way too lightweight. Let us know how that goes!

oh the swing arm is heavy enough... just no mounts for spools, so you have to use the "standard" style stand.

Gotta try my current T-rex to be sure I'm ok with how it all works.
