cOoTeR Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm looking to buy a front stand so I can remove my front tire. The one I have now wont allow me to do that. I need one of the ones with a pin. I've looked online but I figured I would check on here first. Thanks yall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a decent one at IP for $50 - it's not a Pitbull, but does a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I've been looking at the lockhart Phillips stand. What brand is your stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I saw the LP - nice too. I searched IP site (you know how long that takes) couldn't find it. Thought it was a BVP, but the ones they show aren't it. Go over and check them out. Mines Black. Also, check Craigs, guys sell all the time.

hue jass Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Here's the link CLICKIES I found the invoice. Sorry I got the price wrong - I was thinking the spool stand price. Like I said mine's black and it has more supporting for the boom that holds the pin. This may be an old photo. The one I got is great.

Dubguy85 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Don't go cheap... Go pitbull.. they support the industry, made in America, and last forever.. Its the last stand you will buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APCh8r Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Don't go cheap... Go pitbull.. they support the industry, made in America, and last forever.. Its the last stand you will buy!That is the truth. Best stand on the market and you will own it for life. If you get the Pit-Bull get the new front stand.http://www.pit-bull.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PBMSA&Product_Code=F0031-000&Category_Code=front_stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm all about supporting American made but my wallet is a lil low on the extra funds. The pitbull stand is 2x more expensive than the bvp stand. Other than being American and lasting longer does it perform any better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be 2x more, but its not like its thousands of dollars.. Its another $50 -$75.. I'm sure your wallet isn't that low. Also, its your bike.. Hold it up with what is strong and secure!

jagr Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Dudeski. PM me your number and you can borrow mine as long as you need it. I'll be around the Ville all weekend. Come and get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxer_joe08 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I agree Pit-Bull, but DMP makes some nice stands too. If you were only going to take the tire off then going cheap is prolly fine, but if your going to keep it up all winter long then get the pit-bull. Borrowing one is always the way to go too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Cool thanks jagr! Now I can get the tires done and save for the pitbull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APCh8r Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah those BVP stands flex a lot and some of the cheaper brands will apply force to the lower part of your upper when you try and raise the bike up with the stand. The pitbull provides enough clearance that it will not cause any contact or damage to your plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducati guy Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 A stand is a stand. I have a front and rear pitpull stand. I have a front and rear stand from iron pony. The front is a tripple tree stand. They all work the same. Yes they are made w/ diff metal probly or diff quality of metal but as long as it holds your bike up and does the job..who cares what brand it is. I only have the pit bull stands bc they came w/ my ducati. I would have never shelled out the money for pit bulls bc my pony stands do exactly the same thing and have never failed me.
