ford5oh Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Kinda new to this and I want to get a street bike stand. I just want somethin that holds it up to take off the rear tire. Ive seen all different kinds of styles of stands. Does anyone have one they want to get rid of or know where I can get a good deal on one? Ive seen them at Iron Pony but they were kinda pricey.

Got-Boost? Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Pit-Bull is the best IMO and can be found new for $150 or less.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Get swingarm spools, then get a stand that uses them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Pit-Bull is the best IMO and can be found new for $150 or less.... Fuck Pitbull. Overpriced bullshit. It's a god damn piece of metal that holds up your bike, $150 for that? Sheit. +1 to what Ben said. Spools ftw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinkinhood Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Iron Pony actually started carrying one that I think is 60 dollars that seemed decently nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spools ftw. Okay dude, it's only $150 retail (less if you shop). When you actually use them on a regular basis, not just to clean your wheels you'll see how great the other stands are.... Spools are useless without a stand.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I got spools and I got the front stand that lifts by my steering head so I can remove the front wheel while its on the stand. I have vortex racing and I have used them countless times and had no issues. I think I paid something like 220 for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could buy any other for $50 or less. Hey, if you like throwing hundreds away throw a few my way. Spare me on the use bullshit. I'm sure I use my stand far more often than you do yours. Hell, I bet my bike gets ridden more as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suffocateXfaster1647545505 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Have George hold up the bike while you work on it. Give him a beer or two, he'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Now you are talking out your ass.... :gtfo: Mine is sitting on the stand right now waiting on me to take the coils out. 19k miles and they finally failed (factory recall). It isn't a $150 Pitbull though, so it might fall over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I should have gone into the bike stand business. Market some bullshit to retards and slap a high price on it and they'll tell other retards on the internet that their stand is superior due to the name. I'm quite jealous of whoever owns Pitbull, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_f@ck_its_him Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 There are a bunch of stand manufacturers out there, IMO the pit bull stands are the most sturdy but I wouldn't pay $150, check out Redline Stands I've had these and they've been great so far. Handy Industries has a deal for both stands for $89... Handy Industries I've had these as well, they were ok, kinda flimsy but hell, for the price...i guess it all depends on how much you wanna spend...

Market some bullshit to retards and slap a high price on it and they'll tell other retards on the internet that their stand is superior due to the name. I'm quite jealous of whoever owns Pitbull, honestly. Where did I say it's superior ANYWHERE because of the name....? Now you are just acting like a CHILD but then again you are crying about a $150 stand so go figure... If $200 for a front and rear stand with the brand name PITBULL on it breaks your bank, you may have more problems than you can handle since you've made such a big deal over nothing really... :thumbup: Good day...

I'm with ya Kenny what makes them SO much better? Because I have seen them and I don't see any thicker metal than my Vortex stands use nor are they easier to use....So what gives?

kenny Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Still no reply. Shocking. You think they're the best because some asshat on a forum said so and you took his word for it. Good show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh_f@ck_its_him Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I've used both the pit bulls and the cheaper stands, my cheap ass $90 stands worked just as well as the pitbulls, the pit bulls were much more sturdy once the bike was on them, not worth the extra money IMO...I haven't used the vortex or LP stands though...

Where do you get this crap...? You have no clue what you are even talking about and continue to show how much of a bone head you are. I should have known by your other posts you were going to reply with some lame shit and get bent out of shape about a measly $200 set of stands. Everything you post is negative, grow the hell up... :gtfo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
