www.checkeredflagmotorsports.net is where i got my stands. he basically took a set of pitbulls and made his own version with a few changes for the better. the front and rear are $125 shipped and are adustable on both front and rear. you can get them for spool and pad styles. ive owned a couple of diffrent kind of stands and these are the best ive had. i would put these up against pitbulls any time when it comes to quality and sturdiness.

Enlighten me as a noobie - what's the difference in "spool" vs "pad" styles?? Which are better? Which fit 600RR? (or will both work)
Thanks!!

For my 06 CBR1000RR, I got spools at the same time I got my front and rear stands. Not a requirement, but it's nice to have. It comes with everything you need except the metric hex wrench to screw it together. I also dabbed on some locktite, to keep 'em on nice and tight. Now that I've got 'em, I use the stands quite a bit now for cleaning, waxing, oiling, ... whatever.

To clarify for anyone who doesn't know (which was me a few months ago,) stands with pads will fit just about any bike. they need no extra parts. the downside is your swingarm just rests on the pads, which isn't all that stable if you ask me. stands with the spool setup (usually have both actually) requir spools which are kinda like fancy bolts that mount into a stock location on the swingarm. they are much more stable, and hold the bike in place alot better then just gravity alone. the downside is it's an extra 10-20 bucks for the spools. CFM make's a pretty good stand, and yes they are local here in the U.S, they even did a group buy on kawiforums a little while back for 110 shipped (i use to have a kawi) however, if you check ebay, you can find the same stands a little cheaper, just incase your hunting for the best price.
