as long as they don't charge $155 for shipping, i'd say go for it.

Whew! For a minute there I thought you were going to post a "derby."  [laugh]

And no. Shipping was about $25. Still a hell of a deal.  [thumbsup]

Where does that one hold the bike?  The bottoms of the forks?

That looks like a nice stand and an even better price.  What I'd like to find is one of their rear stands ( the one where you can lift the bike from the sidestand).

Good luck ... They're out of stock everywhere and I"ve only seen one show up on eBay ($160)  :(

Thanks for the heads-up.  That's a screamin' deal!

I ordered one - it'll match perfectly with my silver Cycle Cat UCS1 rear stand...   8)

You can remove the wheel, but not the forks.

Hot nuts!  Snagged mine. 

RE reat stands... best of luck.  They have been out of production for a while - so you're going to be looking over the 2nd hand market.

wish they still had red ones to match my fg rearstand, but at this price I can just rattlecan it.  sweet deal!

I need some help, here, and this might be a thread jack, but this is a sweet deal.  2 things..
1.    I believe I have to get front fork sliders/pegs in order to use the front stand...
2.    I would like to buy something else too, but not sure of fitment
https://www.oncycles.com/browse.asp?page=3&department=clearance&category=billetaccessories (https://www.oncycles.com/browse.asp?page=3&department=clearance&category=billetaccessories)
which one will fit a S4RS...

thanks for the help..
i would like to score a triple clamp if possible

Post by: MrFryMoto on May 27, 2009, 08:29:32 AM
wish i didn't already have a front stand  [roll]

however - i could use a new rear-stand that uses spools (as opposed to the 'L' shaped under-swingarm holders)

1. No, you don't need the fork sliders to use this front stand. The rubber mounts of the front stand cradle the bottom of the forks thereby lifting the front wheel off the ground.

2. I don't think the top triples are available for your bike.

I was holding out to get a PitBull front stand with the bottom triple pin but couldn't pass this up. Thanks for the heads up.
Title: Re: $20 Cycle Cat Front Stands on clearance............
Post by: AfroStar on May 27, 2009, 12:12:14 PM
Thanks Pedro,

yeah, they didn't have the DTC-7 for my bike.  I did get the front stand and the billet 3 piece clutch cover $50 bucks..not too bad.. I'm a sucker for deals, and not just buying one thing...  [bang]

oh well, Just in case I want to change it up..
Title: Re: $20 Cycle Cat Front Stands on clearance............
Post by: fastwin on May 27, 2009, 01:46:48 PM
Nice deal for sure! You shouldn't need anything else to use the stand. The set up looks very similar to my Pit Bull front stand. And for those who have never used a front stand like this YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE BIKE SUPPORTED BY A REAR STAND FIRST!!!! Rear stand first THEN the front stand!!

I have a PitBull front stand with a pin, but I ordered the Cycle Cat stand anyway.  If you're just removing the front wheel, the Cycle Cat stand will make the job a tad easier, as the legs of the PitBull stand are a little in the way of the axle.

I got a notification that it will be delivered TOMORROW! Holy crap, I only paid for the UPS Ground. There may be an issue though, it was shipped signature required. The wife is out of town so I may not be there when they deliver...

Post by: Desmo Demon on May 28, 2009, 08:04:01 AM
I didn't need them, but I think it is an upgrade from what I've been using, so.....I just now called them up and ordered three of them. They are out of the red ones, but they still have silver in stock.....I kept teetering between buying 3 or 4 and settled on the lesser. I figure I can sell my old two stands and make up some of the cost of these three, plus, if I decide to sell one of these new ones, I have a few friends who could use them......Hmmmm...Maybe I should order a fourth. LOL

For those that wanted the red one, you can always have it powder coated.  8)


Of course that would cost more $$, but if you really wanted to.....what the hell.  [coffee]

I bought one, shipping was a beast at $44 something to the Portland Oregon area. OUCH! That was for UPS ground too! Oh well, when they are usually about $200 after shipping I guess $64 total isn't bad at all (and the wife didn't get mad at all when I told her how good of a deal it was).

Got mine today, too.   It works perfectly on the Monster.  [thumbsup]

I hear ya about the weight of the front stands, but the rear stands are even heavier.  [laugh]  It also looks like the silver finish on the front stand is a bit darker than the CC rear stand I bought a few years ago.  Doesn't matter, though, at this price.

If that is bad, I have a pitbull rear and a CC front.  Now the fashion police are going to come after me.   [leo] That may be a felony in some sates.

leave the front one out in the sun for a few days - it'll probably start to even out
