motorcycle stand

Never tried it but I use, as well as a few other on the forum, T-Rex stands off  ebay. $105 shipping for front and rear stands that are fully adjustable. Look into them, they are by far the best stands you can get for the price. I'll but them up there with pit-bull stands anyday.

Thanks,

i never heard of them, but i'm sure they'll be fine. they don't need to hold up a small sedan (like the pitbulls are engineried for), just the rear end of a motorcycle. if you had a chop saw and a welder, you could probably make your own or about $3

I have a Lockhart Phillips for the rear and I like it a lot. For the front I have a Black Widow off eBay and while it works as it should, it does not compare in quality to the LP I bought. The LP was purchased for $90 though on sale and the BW was $70 including shipping, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Dude you rock, I've been looking for a nice set of cheaper priced stands, those look perfect and are priced awesome. I think I'll be buying a set tomorrow just in time to use while I'm away on my 2 week honeymoon

I have a Lockhart for the rear, its a quality piece 

I have front and rear pit bull stands, things are pretty much bullet proof.

I have the Vortex stands, i almost got the Pitbull's because of all the good things i have heard about them, but a local retailer offered me a very good deal on the Vortex's. I am very pleased with them, very solid and easy to use, rear handle comes off with a button release also if you want it out of the way quick. I would recommend them for a midpriced stand.

+1 for the vortex stands...though i'm sure most of them, if they look sturdy they should be able to do the job

Can I put swingarm sliders on my F2? The reason I ask is b/c I want to get these stands:

,and I would assume the rear is more stable on the spools (sliders). These stands do look like a great deal, I would just rather the front attach to the steering stem, but how often am I going to remove the forks anyway... Has anyone found these style front stands to be unstable?

Like I said before I use them on my 929 which has a unique swing arm where one side of the swing arm is higher than the other. These are fully adjustable for spool or pad use. You use have to flip them around, simple. I wouldn't recomend attempting to put spools on your bike just so that you don't compromise the strength of your swingarm.

The f2 doesn't have provisions for spools. Look through the sellers inventory and in his store as there are a lot of stands he sells. I would also call or e-mail and see if he would sell you a set of what you need. I did that with the front stand I bought. (called seller)

I just ordered the same exact stands today. Cant wait to get them in so I can finally put on the rim tape I bought 2 weeks ago

Just make sure the wheel is somewhat warm when you put the rim tape on or it won't stick properly and you'll wind up re-doing it.

I have the front stem stand from pit bull; the bike is already stable when you have it on the rear, so when put up with the front stand it’s like a rock. Friends sit on it all the time when it is up on the stands no problem what so ever.
