There are a lot of people to say pitbull are the best or what not. Which is true, but if your a guy like me that doesn't want to spend a lot of money to get the job done. Here below shows you what I bought and how impressed I am.

Bike stand:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Paid:41.50
Color:Red

Anything unique:Soft plush foam for a handle on top. Tough red coating(guessing powder coated). Pads have soft rubber in there to prevent scratching on swing arm. Also has a lip on the sides to prevent it from going over the pads unlike other brands you see for cheaper. This is a huge plus in my eyes and really benefits it for the bike.

Pictures are attached. Figure to share my experience.

 

I had looked at these and wondered how stable they would be. Pretty solid feel, I take it?

 

Ya it felt stable. I mean I shook it back and forth really hard and it was good enough for me.

 

just ordered one. thanks for sharing

 

i need to get a front stand now
I am buying this *edit* I just bought this

For that kind of front stand I never had good luck. I had one and sold it. For some reason it would cover/be really hard to get the bolt out on the front wheel. I heard the one's that have pointers are good that go on the bottom of the forks. I use a winch and lift it by the triple tee's. Works so fast and to me more stable

 

I bought a set last year off ebay. I picked them because I liked the fact that they had a cross-member at the handle... and the support bars were thicker than most I had seen. Front and rear set was $76 delivered.
I looked for these again, but I can't find them.
Stable even with a heavy bike.

 

Those are made by power.freaks on ebay. I had a set of them as well at one point. Sold them though. I like that brace that went across since I was scared of flex.

 

Flex like this...

 

^^Wow ton's of flex. Seems like it wasn't picked up right or something happened. What happened to it
