Moto-Brian Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 It looks like it wouls hold fine. I don't like the angle where as stated before, it looks as if it could roll forward and drop off easily. Espeically that high off the ground.Second, the whole thing is a two person job or a bitch for one guy. Having to put the bolts into the swingarm spool holes is too much work. I'd pay $50 more just to combat having to do that...As for the strength, think Trulles (sp?) frame on a Ducati vs. a typical aluminum frame on say, a GSXR...

that dude Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 you can buy the t rex stands for 50-60 bucks all day long. depending on who you ask they are either great or ok. they use 1 -1/2" round hollow stock steel. powdercoated with wheels. so i think the price point would have to be cheaper.

I don't normally like them so...."healthy" but that one seems to do the trick for me! LOL!Sal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I love my V-strom! I could use a lower cover! I think it would be cool to be able to weld! Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
