I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of swingarm stand i should get. I got an 01 F4i and i doesnt have the spools on it. I guess my question is, are most swingarm stands made to work with or without the spools? And does anyone have any suggestions about what brand (type) i should get? any help would be great, i wanna start maintaining it myself to save $$$$!

 

i got a set of t-rex stands off ebay i think i paid 100 for both front and rear.
they work really well.

the rear can either be pad lift or spool lift the front lifts off the forks
i like them and so does my bike. they dont feel or look cheap at all

 

+1 on the T-Rex. Great stands for the money!

 

or get handystands...a bit over 100 for the set when on sale.

 

Pit-Bull are the best
Handys are cheap
everything else is somewhere in the middle
take your pick

 

yea if you gots the bling...pit bull...cause quality comes at a price.

if you just need it done...and cheap...t-rex and handy's...but don't worry, neither will snap and drop your bike.

 

stands? **** son, I just use me some 2x4's and rock mah ol bike up on em.

 

cyclecat.com great!!! easy!!!!

 

Thanks, i cant find any T-Rex on ebay, the pitbulls look nice but they are a little too pricy, im thinking about goin with the pitbulls!

 

I've been using a Lockhart Phillips non-spool stand and its been great.Fits the width of the swingarm perfectly. They go for ~$80 new.
