Exclamation great idea GROUP BUY?

301.68 euro = $401 US for the stand 50.42 euro = $67. for the wheel kit... and shipping is another 65 euro = $86

Total $556 USD shipped for the stand and wheel kit. I am going to order one and wanted to see if anyone else would like to get in and see if we can get a deal. This stand is interchangeable for any bike with a different bracket attachment so buy the jack once and never buy it again just get the adaptor for what ever bike you have... check it out @

my only concern is if were hit or pushed from that side how hard is it to knock off of the stand. Are the holding pegs set at a slight upward angle to "hold " the bike in place if it where to be pushe d or hit by accident? other wise it does look very easy and stupid simple to use.......

they do do it for the f4i check out the site for a vid of it being used on a 600f, the guy even sits on the bike on the stand and twists the handle bars left and right. It looks pretty stable to me but well out of my price range.

personally, I think its an awesome idea. Way over priced, but its one of those, why didn't I think of that? there are a few other companies out there as well making them.

If they knock the price down to 200. They would sell a lof them.

It would be a lot harder to knock it off that stand than a regular swing arm stand. If you think about it, all of the bikes weight is on two pegs, so you would have to overcome the bikes weight and slide the bike perfectly even off both pegs. The pegs wouldn't allow the bike to tilt at all, and if the bike does tilt, the pegs act as a lock and the bike can't slide... I really don't think it would come off the stand. On a rear stand, there is nothing really holding the bike. Just the weight of the bike, but it cold also tilt off.

This one is a little different, but I like it how it holds the bike so you can put the stand on without holding the bike up...

This any clue who makes the one you have there? I am in need of a stand I can roll my chassis around with or with out wheels / swing arm etc...

I totally agree 500+ is TOO high price (hint's the group buy posted here and firebaldes.org and 1000rr.net) I dont have rafters to hang my bike from and I dont have room for an engine stand and want to completely tear down my bike. If you have any other ideas or want to get in Leme no!!
