Thats the route I'm taking Cloudbreakmd. I have the Cycle Cat rear, love it! I would buy a Cyle Cat front if they made a fork lift design. So, I'm going to get the PitBull fork lift instead.

 

I got a Vortex Racing front stand. It lifts the bike from under the steering stem, which makes it really easy to remove the fork tubes. I wouldn't use another stand after having it!

 

I have the T Rex stands, they are great. Fully adjustable and come ready for spools or non-spool use so it can be used on pretty much all bikes. $105 front and rear on ebay.

 

Well guys here's my review... Mind you I have never used a stand before and was weary of putting my bike up on one by myself.

Cycle Cat: In one word... Wonderful. Assembly takes some time but it's worth it. Very, very easy to use. Confidence inspiring, is all I have to say. Comes with one spare circlip if you need it. Instructions on use are vague, but using it is self explanatory. The lift handle is removable also.


The Pitbull stand is no surprise either. No asembly needed, and yet again vague instructions for use. But it is solid feeling. Another no brainer buy.




Would I buy these again?

Yes.

Are they a little more expensive than they should be?

Aren't all stands. The rear was definitely worth it though.

 

Nice stands. I have vortex stands. All I'm saying is, where the heck have I been. I love stands. They make it so easy. I never had stands either until I got my 929. They are great. Ok, I'm done. But guess what? Stands are great. Never sell them either. LOL.
