I have a rear t-rex stand. It works ok. You do get what you pay for but they definitely work just fine. I will probably drill out some stuff and mig weld some more metal on them but I've had them around a year or so and don't see a real need to do that just yet.

I have T-Rex's too, and they've done their job just fine.

I have Pitbulls and I don't regret a single penny spent. You are going to find your stands invaluable.

Everyone knows the Pitbulls are the best stands but they are lots of $...I ordered the DMP stands, front triple tree stand and rear for $149 off ebay...they seem to be sturdy but didn't quite fit the 600 RR spool locations perfectly but I got them to work, and they seem fine.

I chose them over the T-Rex's because the triple tree front stand.

You should be fine with those Buss, better than those real cheap ones at the beginning of this thread.

do NOT go with the Fly-N-Cycle stands. I just sold mine at 1/2 price and I am getting a different set.

I want to make sure I am clear - DO NOT BUY FLY-N-CYCLE stands. They are NOT good stands for the CBR

I have heard good things about the T-Rex stands, but I decided to go with a different brand. I am currently waiting for them to get in. I will post a review on them, but in the mean time... <link>

i'm with the t-rex camp here... have heard good things and price is reasonable... anything cheaper probably is for a GOOD reason

thankfully I got a Pitbull rear off of craigslist today for $80 so I got the "heavy" side taken care of and in good hands... best of all is it has the reversible lifting points that fit either the swingarm or spools and since I have an F4i I don't have the luxury of spools at the moment, but will hopefully do the weld-on tabs OR the drill in threads(stand came with spools so I got that taken care of too... only problem is they are red and match NOTHING on the bike)
