They are on sale for $30, if you want the fork supports which attach they are $10 extra.

It's a single piece of tube steel.  It is not a pitbull, but under normal use, they will last almost as long.  4 polyurethane wheels and the tube is about 1.25" thick.  The swingarm "claws" have a 3/4" thick bar steel mount.  VERY nice.

Mgr of the store near me said they are going to up the price to $50 soon as they are selling like crazy.

I`ve had one for a year now and it works great. I leave the bike on it all the time and even sit on the bike while its up on the stand with no worries.

the bottom pic alone would shy me aware from these stands:

of course, i'm a stand snob... pit-pull all the way.  ;D

they are VERY stiff.  the pic doesn't really do it justice.  i've had a bunch of them (including pitbulls and DP) and those are in a different league -- like if you are a pro racer.  this one is for the person who puts it up for the winter and doesn't use it every day -up/down up/down.

$30!

Would this work with a single sided swingarm?

nope.

The rear setup will not.

But if you want it for the front, you can buy the fork adapters (extra $10)

I just got a pitbull sss rear stand and when it is on the right side of the bike the bike seems to lean to the right (toward the stand) normal?  I haven't used a sss stand before.

Normal. The Power Stands I have does the same thing...

Cool, thanks man

that bottom photo looks more like user error than product malfunction to me...

I picked up Harbor Freight's other rear stand, as they were out of the tube one at the store I went to:

Suprisingly well-built... the welds are solid, the hardwear is all pretty stout, no sharp or unfinished edges... I'm not wild about the potential of those spool supports to claw my swingarm, but I think a quick wrap with some spare packing foam will manage that.  I figure it will suffice for light duty, and with the 20% off coupon from one of my bikeporn mags, it was only $4.83 after tax.


//jk.  I think it set me back about $22.

omg take that one back and wait for the other one

It does look pretty sketchy, are those sheet metal screws holding it together?

4 bolts on each side.  it's solid aluminum, very light and it's a "low profile" design.  i like the other one better as it has wheels.

i think so.  mine pops up just fine and straight.  

$30!!

I'll give it a shot.
Goin to get mine today.

pick up the front fork adapters for $10 too . you'll be glad you did.  i bought two of these and wish i had bought two sets of adapters.  i already have a couple of rear stands.  with a bunch of bikes, it helps to have them up.

What do the fork adapters look like? I picked up one of the stands a couple of months ago when I couldn't find my old one after a move. I found it (found my red key too!), but hate my old front stand. Maybe this with the adapters would be better...

I used my new rear stand on my buddy's 696 to support it while we put on clipons.  Works great!

There's paddles that HF sells for this stand. This stand also has wheels, the downside that I have with it is it doesn't raise the bike very far of the ground. Just enough to spin the tire.

The tubular one seems much more solid than the "low profile" bolt-together one.
