I prefer the stand for two reasons really. 1 my bike came with no centerstand lol and 2 it is much more sturdy than the center stand. I never needed one before because my other bike is an old virago shaft drive. There is NO way to use the swingarm stand with the shaft drive on that bike. I seen the t-rex stands too they seem way more sturdy but i went the "im broke" rhoute lol.

 

Thanks for the heads-up CBR13F2. I'm kinda in the market for a set...No hurry though. I'll check the local CL and ebay too.

Okay so got the stand and im very pleased. Solid construction and has some good weight to it. The only negative is the single wheels on each side, it makes it a lot more difficult to keep it straight while lifting the back end but for 30 bucks it does the trick.

 

You can put your kick stand up.. [8D]
