Hey guys, if your good w/ sprockets also... please look at my other post 
Ive been thinking, and Ive come to the conclusion that it would be a hell of a lot easier to do stuff to my bike (upcoming change of sprockets, for example) with some bike stands. Id like to get a front and rear stand both, just because I think thats the way to do it (if not... holler at me, I, like many others, LOVE to save money  )
Ive found 2 different stands that i been looking at... the first is an actual pair (front and rear) from heindle engineering.
Front Forklift, Rear Roller (144.95+)
The second set is from Lockhart Phillips... I'd have to buy seperate but they would come close to the same price as a pair.
Rear (65.95 +) / Front (82.95 +) /Site LP found on
also, if you scroll down on that site, you can find a "3 piece swingarm stands" from Lockhart Phillips also. They look decent, and are 79.95 apiece........ 
Now, my question to you is... Should I go with one brand all the way out.... or mix/match... does it matter.... are there cheaper stands out there that still get the job done?
Im sorry Im re-posting about stands, as I know another member on here also posted, but all that was said is "pitbull is good... " and some other brand is good.
thanks for any help/advice in advance,
Chris

I opted for the spool rear stand. Not only is it more stable, but the swingarm spools double as sliders. I got the Vortex stand and love it. It costs a little more, but is worth every penny in security and easy of use.

I had a Lockhart front stand and it was not that great..alot of bikes nowadays have 1 forkleg that is longer than the other ( Yamaha is for sure guilty of this) and the Lockhart stand has to pins that go in the holes in the bottom of the fork tubes, the problem is that with the longer leg it makes the bike sit at an angle, or fall over.
I use the PITBULL front stand which does not care if the legs are longer since they use a pivot and two cushions to hold the leg up
