I really wanted to get the Abba stands, but they are hard to find in Canada.

I have pitbulls and love them. I can't comment on the other brands because pitbulls are all I've used.

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 got a pitbull rear stand for 75 bucks when I bought my bike from the previous owner. I love it. I wish I had the 1 handed one, and a lot of people like the t-rexs for the price. I'd say, get the t-rex stands if you have to have new, but if you can find a good deal on some pitbulls, go for that.

I have a Pitbull rear stand and a set of Handy Stands. Love the Pitbull. The Handy Stands do the job and were cheap but are no where near the same quality as the Pitbull.

Yea I have the Suzuki stands and I use them on the gf's 250 now but they are not even close to the Pit Bull or even the Vortex stands.
