Are there any stand manufacturers that make a front stand that allows you to support the front either by the forks or the triple tree? Basically two stands in one? I saw one on ebay but the way they attach the triple support seems shaky. Any ideas in what to look for?

 

I would go with the forks. more stable.

 

More stable than the triple tree? I've put my buddies bike on forkstands and that was the most nerve wracking part of the whole process.

 

t-rex is a good company i would trust them. The triple tree is pretty safe.there is a hole so it doesnt slip. Fork stands are a pain in the *** when you want to change the front wheel

 

How so? The whole reason for getting the front stand is so I can take the wheel off.

 

Maybe its just me but where the stand lifts is literally millimeters away from the actual axle nut. The socket rubs sometimes, or you might bump into it causing it to tip over. But then again this depends on which front lift stand you get.

 

+1 on the t-rex's .I love my set n can not beat em for the price.

 

I have T-Rex too, but the front is a PITA sometimes. I think it would be the same with any fork stands. I'd like fork spool stands or headstock stands.
