MidgetTodd Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I like spool stands better than that style but for the price I suppose. I would measure your width first as well, alot of the cheap stands are not wide enough for 1000's and some 600's so check first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shittygsxr Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 i bet if you keep looking on their site you will find a better rear stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I like harbor freight. But I understand that everything I buy from there is going to break. I wouldn't buy a stand from them. Odds are, it'll break. And things don't normally break unless they're under stress (IE: like with your bike on it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I have it. Its so wide, and when you put the cradles on, they bend in at an angle. Feels like a very unsafe stand. Doesn't work for shit as a front stand either. I'd spend my money elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CattaniAFJ Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 This just goes back to the "you get what you pay for, and you pay for what you get" logic. If other stands are running $60+ and you find a NEW one that cheap, it's probably shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstrosity Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 My buddy had something similar and his bike fell off Needless to say he picked up a set of Pit Bull stands and loves em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 The ONLY reason I bought it was to use as a front stand to remove my wheel (because nobody in the Miami Valley would do it) and when holding the front up it felt flimsy. Also it took two people to get it on the stand. One to pull up on the bars while the other does the stand because whoever designed it didn't take into account the proper angle to lift and lower. You can't get enough leverage to lift just by the stand. Avoid. Buy something else for $50 and be happy when it doesn't break and your expensive bike falls over.
