ebay, ebay, and umm ebay. Got my front and rear set for $80 shipped. It's a must when working on bikes. And make sure you get the paddock swingarm version vs the spool version.

I have the BikeTek Stands that are reviewed here only that i have the fork stand on the front not the tripple tree stand.

Search! There are BILLIONS reviews on this forum for stands......yes billions, i counted.

Ive got a Motrax GP rear stand I'll sell you for $50 if you want it. Works good on my f4i- it has both swing arm pins and Axel hooks. Sorry can't post pics from my phone, but will post later.

Have access to a welder? Get some square tube (maybe $10) and build your own. http://cbrworld.net/forums/thread/837.aspx

Used his plans for the rear but had to make it a bit wider.

You should try craigslist to save on shipping. You can find a good used one for about 40 bucks. A swingarm doesn't have to be brand new or look good. It's not like you're going to show it off. Just as long as it does its job. If you buy locally, you could even bring the bike over and try it out before you buy.

T-Rex. Great build quality, and mine were 130 brand new. I'm very happy with them.
