scottie.harris Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Anyone have any experiece with the no name bike stands? I found these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-Ninja-ZX6-ZX6R-ZX7R-636-Front-Rear-Stand-B-/380402672767?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5891c4247f&vxp=mtr and all i need them for is to change tires. for $80 it has me wondering how bad could they be.

conn-e-rot Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 No experience with those but heard good things about the t-rex racing stands http://www.ebay.com/itm/T-REX-Racing-Motorcycle-Front-and-Rear-Stands-/270909952404?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item3f137dd194http://t-rex-racing.com/catalog.php?category=43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Only problem I have found with the t-rex ones is the front tire is hard to remove unless you use the front stand upside down (the part that goes under the forks). They may have fixed this as the ones I used were older.I used handy stands for a long time, still use the rear and they were good but flimsy. I picked up some pitbulls now and will never go back but they are out of the price range for mose that just want to change tires. For tire changes the ones you posted are probably fine.

TSB67 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I bought these because I wanted one-piece welded construction in a cheap stand (not bolt-together). What Craig posted though reminds me that I had to put 2x4s under the front to comfortably get the front tire out from under the fender on a CBR.http://www.discountramps.com/motorcycle-stands.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I use pitbull, I don't want to pay even more to fix my bike when it falls. You get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I bought some bolt together Gorilla stands from ebay they came from Canada for around $80 haven't had any problems with them. Pretty solid I like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imprez55 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I pretty sure this has been discussed a couple times here. I have an ebay set and it works for holding the bike up. I bumped the bike while it was up once and it fell right over and bent a stand. I fixed the stand and it still works like it should, but I don't trust it holding up the bike unless I am being very careful. I do the same test with better stands (vortex, pitbull etc.) and it never happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Copeland Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I have two sets of T-Rex stands,both with the triple tree front.Very well made and decent price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saacattack Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I've never used a pitbull stand or any of the other brands. I picked one up from pony that looks exactly like the cheaper one and I like it because it gets the job done for cleaning and maintenance. the only thing I have to do it tight the screws before I use it because its little woobles a little bit but it's never dropped my bike or anything.

Jst2fst Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Also to add given that mine are bolt together I've shaken my bike on the stands and it stayed planted to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howabusa Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I bought a set of the T-Rex stands when I bought the Busa. Haven't had any problems with them. I do have to unbolt the front fender to pull the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4MOU$ Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I just got my ebay no name front stand in, I was really amazed at the quality of the stand. It's been under the bike for 2 weeks not and has been great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
