Im looking for a good, decently priced rear or both, bike stand to use while doing repair work to my bike. Does any one know where to get a good deal on one or maybe have one your trying to get rid of?
thanks

 

Or does anyone at least have an opinion on which ones are better to usr for doing work? Or are they all pretty much the same? I remember seeing various kinds that all hold the bike at different points. I kinda like the idea of one stand to hold the whole bike though.

 

check ebay for t-rex stands. For the money they are comparible to pit bulls. You can get both stands tho w/ triple tree attachment for the price of one pit bull tho.

 

+1 for the T-Rex. I used handy stands when I had my 900 as the spooless pads were nice. They are flat and hold the bike nice. I have Vortex stands now and for non spooled bikes it sucks because it's a round pad.......the bike has a tendancy to slide off the back of the stand. Never had it happen, but it made me nervous. (this was on a freinds F4i). If you were to put bosses on your swing arm and then spools it works great.

 

Or spend a little bit more now and get a Cycle Cat. I love mine.

 

Thanks for the info guys. I'll probably end up getting the T-rex stands for now anyway. They are priced pretty good and I just recently had a new baby so the wife is out of work so i'm a little low on money right now. Is there any thing I need other than the stands and spools though?

 

Just to touch on what Gixxereater mentioned make sure you get a universal rear stand. unless you modified your swingarm to accept spools. I know, at least for the early 900's they don't have the bosses.

 

The late 90's ones don't have them either.

 

So does T-Rex make a stand that is universal for the rear? I noticed on most of the ones I seen on ebay that it said for 900rr but they also mentioned spools. If they don't is there any easy way to mod for spools, or another brand universal stand that is good and decently priced?

 

the T-Rex's does spolls n no-spools.
