what stands to get and what size
I know there are probibly tons of threads out there that have this information but my internet is down n i am searching on my phone so please don't flame me.
I am looking for some mid priced stands but i can't seem to find the way to check if the stands will work propperly. Now i know i don't want spools. If someone could just tell me what size i need that would be great. Or just point me in the right direction. I have a 96f3 600.

well most stands are universal they have adjustment slides for the different distance youll need between the forks and swingarm ive used my buddys 2008 busa stands on my 2000 cbr f4, i got mine from a company called GPI INDUSTRIES they have factory blemished ones (chips in the powdercoat, scratched stuff like that) for cheap but i didnt care cause they gunna get f'd up anyways from being used i got a set for a little over 100 bucks shipped off of ebay but their phone number is 631 258 8289 and they're have'n a sale on factory blemished ones right now saw on their website they got factory blemished sets for 109.99 right now and they come with spool lifts and the swingarm pad lifts so you wont have to get spools. if you got your internet back just go to www.gpiindustries.com and check em out

If you want to be a cheap as like me because those stands are way over rated and so expensive there is always harbor freight.
This is the more expensive one

I have Pit Bull stands for most of my needs. This is the rear stand that I have. It can be used for bikes with or without spools. I use this on F4 & SV650. http://www.pit-bull.com/Merchant2/me...de=rear_stands . While it can be a little pricey at full retail, I got mine at Cycle Gear during one of their sales for about $100-110. Yes, its well worth it. I use it at home & at the track. I've never seen a stronger stand.
I also have a pair of stands from Kyle Racing. While strong, they aren't as sturdy/stable as the Pit Bulls. Ie., the stands want to flex a little bit under use.
Main thing you want in a stand is strength & stability. While you can save a few bucks getting inexpensive stands, just remember that when you're wrenching on your bike while on stands, you want it as stable as possible.
