Title: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: rideserotta on April 25, 2011, 09:57:35 AM I'm looking for a rear stand for my '05 620. I've seen several but some look like they could collapse any moment. I'm looking for a good balance of stability, ease of use, and price.
Any suggestions? Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: He Man on April 25, 2011, 10:00:37 AM T-rex hands down.
if not then defintely pitbull (price out the window) Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: zooom on April 25, 2011, 10:01:38 AM Pitbull....
unless you can get your hands on an older Cycle Cat UCS-1 rear stand... Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: arai_speed on April 25, 2011, 10:18:22 AM I have a Pitbull rear (SS) and a T-rex front.
Had I not gotten a good deal on the Pitbull I would be rocking T-rex front and rear. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: rideserotta on April 25, 2011, 02:17:10 PM That settles it... T-Rex it is since price is part of the equation.
Thanks guys. Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: bikeguy57 on April 25, 2011, 04:50:17 PM Redline...About 100.00, really nice and solid.
Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: desmodoktor on April 25, 2011, 04:56:25 PM pitbull [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: rideserotta on April 26, 2011, 07:42:47 PM Ok... I've done a little shopping and think I need to get a non-spooled stand right? It doesn't look like I can add spools to the rear swing arm of a M620. If I can please let me know. It looks like the spooled stand would provide more stability.
Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: He Man on April 26, 2011, 07:45:07 PM just be aware that ever so often you can pick up a pitbull for CHEAP on wera or ducati.ms or even Cl. i bought my SS rearstand for $100 pitbull.
Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: rideserotta on April 26, 2011, 07:53:43 PM Yeah... I just a couple of Pit Bull SS rear stands for under $100. I'm seriously thinking of going that way now.

I think He Man was talking about Single Sided, but you get the idea. I got my Pitbull off Craigslist for $50, single sided reversable. It's a rock. Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: Narflar on April 27, 2011, 06:04:22 AM I got one I don't use anymore. I wouldn't mind selling it to help fund a SSS rear stand.
Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: leungevity on April 27, 2011, 07:25:23 AM narflar, is your stand for single sided or double sided with posts? i'm looking for one so i can do an oil change :P
Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: Narflar on April 27, 2011, 09:02:39 AM It's for a Dual Sided Swingarm. It's not setup for spools or anything, just the standard swingarm.
Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: m1moto on April 27, 2011, 10:54:52 AM T-rex is a good combo of price and quality. I have both their front and rear stands and they are pretty beefy. Pitbull in my book are like Tremi's - a chunk of $$$ goes to the sticker on the side.
Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: zooom on April 27, 2011, 12:17:40 PM Pitbull in my book are like Tremi's - a chunk of $$$ goes to the sticker on the side. I don't necessarily subscribe to that logic...I know that part of it is that it is manufactured here in the USA by a US company...but I have seen a T-Rex side by side to a Pitbull, and I can honestly say, the Pitbull is heavier duty.... now...that isn't to say the T-Rex won't do the job...but I try and buy a stand once...and my Pitbull stands, I have had for 5-6 years now without an issue or problem. Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: booger on April 27, 2011, 12:47:53 PM Pitbull in my book are like Tremi's - a chunk of $$$ goes to the sticker on the side. Pitbulls are totally unlike Termis in that they're actually worth the price. Still best to take the tightass position and snag one of the many used ones constantly for sale on CL. Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: rideserotta on April 28, 2011, 04:17:29 AM Found a rear Pit Bull SS, like new, for $75 on CL. Going to get it this weekend. Thanks for all the advice. [thumbsup]

[thumbsup] You're buying a Single Sided (SSS) stand for your Dual Sided (DSS) 620? ???Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: rideserotta on April 28, 2011, 05:24:57 AM No, no.... My bad. It's dual sided. http://greenville.craigslist.org/mcy/2337788686.html (http://greenville.craigslist.org/mcy/2337788686.html)

Post by: bikepilot on April 29, 2011, 05:03:21 AM I have a DSS pitbull - its great. Exceptionally sturdy, no flex, wobble or worries with it. The swignarm pads can be flipped so it can work with spools or without. Spools make it easier and, I think, a touch more stable. Wish the monster had provisions for spools like my japanese bikes. Maybe I'll swap out for an ally swinger [evil]

Maybe I'll swap out for an ally swinger [evil] or you can slide a rod through the hollow axle and use the spool sides to support it that way... Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation?

You get a 1 piece design that is beautifully welded and anodized for wear. The tubes they use are MUCH thicker and the thing doesn't feel flimsy at all. Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation?

There are Pitbull stands everyday of the week on craigslist for under $100. In fact, I got both of mine (front and rear) for $120 total. Quickly scanning CL, I just saw 4 or 5 from $60 - $100. I need to pick up another front stand! Pitbulls are totally unlike Termis in that they're actually worth the price. Still best to take the tightass position and snag one of the many used ones constantly for sale on CL. Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: CETME on April 29, 2011, 02:00:07 PM i would definitely agree that the Pitbull stand is superior in both build and materials quality than any other stand I've handled.
Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: speedknot on April 29, 2011, 02:18:17 PM If you didn't pick up the one on CL yet, check out these guys. http://www.discountramps.com/motorcycle-stand.htm (http://www.discountramps.com/motorcycle-stand.htm)
I got the black widow pair for under a $100. At the time I got them, the shipping was free. For the price and quality, it cant be beat. Its not quite pro-shop quality but it has no problem holding my bike up safely while I wrench around on it. It's very stable and lightweight. Title: Re: Rear stand recommendation? Post by: wannabfast on April 29, 2011, 08:45:18 PM i just picked up a pitbull single sided reversable stand, OMG this is the nicest stand ive ever used its way sturdy and you can sit on the bike and make noises when its raining out or when you miss riding it?
