They sell them all over the place, but I preferred to get wheel stands.

I have a similar lift and tried it on my bike. No go. Not enough flat area without making a wooden cradle, and even that required taking off the fairings each time. That, and weight balance was pretty off, and I felt like the bike was going to tip off all the time, so I abandoned the idea. Especially after almost loosing the bike to a tip over after taking off the rear wheel.

The Harbor Frieght swing arm/fork stands were cheaper and work 100% every time.

I just got my PITBULL rear wheel stand in the Mail yesterday! havent played with it yet though. At the store i got it from, they test fitted (the one i got) on my bike when i rode up there last week, and the Same Rear Stand will fit my ZX-6R once i get one for my next bike too!

I plan on getting the Front Wheel stand later on just b4 Winter this year! to Store my Bike in the air, so Tires Dont get those Flat-spots, etc... also when i redo my Rim stripes with Red Reflective tape!

I got these becuase they were the least expensive ones I could find. They have been great.

How are they working out? Those are pretty cheap, but do they seem to hold up nicely?

Travis, I got similar stands from FlyNcycle. The rear stand is OK but the front stand is downright dangerous. I modified it so that it worked well and safely. Darn near dropped the bike using the stand in its original form.

tjkamper · June 24th, 2009, 05:16 AM

The stands have been great. I haven't had any problems and they feel stable. I defenitely recommend them to keep a few bucks in your pocket.

When I was shopping, I saw those ones at flyncycle and they just didn't look like as good a quality as the more expensive stands. So I decided to get the BlackWidow stands even though the ones on flyncycle.com were about 20 dollars less.

Also I think the weight rating on the flyncycle ones was less.

I'm sure that's just because she is already jealous of the bike and feels you spend more time with it than with her.

No I just assume she is like mine.

If she is, then you won't really be in trouble until you start wringing the throttle when your in bed... (Slept on the couch for a week for that one).
