Inexpensive stands are built differently than one another. Some suck, some don't. Try to get the one's that don't suck.

I looked for these again, but I can't find them.
Stable even with a heavy bike.


they look alot like gorilla stands.... u can get a pair of them off the net right not for 85 bucks...

I am 21, I'll be riding for a long time. My bikes are worth alot of money even to worry about stands failing. Makes sense to spend $150 once than $80 a few times and still worry about the quality.

Ever tried to have sex on a bike with a ****ty rear stand? Hells no!

im 21 ill be riding for a long time... but with a family to support and bills to pay... a expensive set of 300 dollar stands isnt the answer for me.... i do think those stands i posted though would hold up great.. if not i have aluminum and a welder... extra support takes me 5 min.

and sex on a bike? dude forget that i prefer sex in a bed or even on my old room mates kitchen table... but on a bike? i can see maybe bent over the seat sideways but other than that ouch

but then again i dont have to hide it from mommy and daddy like most

btw im playin bro... no insults intended...

Yeah man, couldn't do sex on a bike. Just not gonna happen.

I have T-Rex stands. Paid 133 shipped I believe. For both front and rear. Look great, really solid build, the only semi complaint is that the rear stand's swingarm pads are rounded and not flat, but that does make readjusting it a lot easier.
