I don't know if spools came stock on the old m900 but mine has them and when I switched to aluminum cnc axle plates my pitbull stand doesn't work with spools anymore since the plates get in the way. Good thing I got a switchable pitbull stand. Too bad I didn't notice that it doesn't fit until after I gouged my plates right after I installed them.

Pitbull pitbull pitbull.
I'm only running a rear for now, but a buddy has both front and rear on his CBR900 (not a light bike) and I (225lbs) can rock the holy shit out of that thing and it doesn't budge. It may be a bit overkill, yeah, and it may be a bit more expensive than the other guys, yeah, but you're never going to have to replace it (unless you make the beast with two backs it up on your own) and like someone else said; you'll be supporting a well run small American company who supports racers and people like me alike.

For those who are still on the fence due to price, check out your local craigslist ads, you can always find used pitbull stands for sale, sometimes up to 50% of retail. That's where I found both of mine. Also dont discount an ad right away if it isnt exactly the one for your bike, sometimes all you need a the right adapter, which you can order directly from Pitbull.

I bought mine for $100 off a guy who got rid of his 848. Remember, all (most?) the SSSa single pin models from pitbull are compatible, you just may have to buy a different pin.
Check your local boards as well as Ducati.ms. Some of those guys go through bikes like the Wera cats do.

I got a cheaper ebay stand for my 696 and had it for exactly 24 hours before sending it back and ordering a pitbull rear stand. I have to echo everyone else here on the pitbull. You can't go wrong with it.

I've got a Handy front and rear, a Cycle Cat front, and some unknown brand rear, and they all work. The bike won't fall unless you do something stupid, and the stands won't break. Some are easier to use than others, and Pitbull are probably the best built, but there are many cheaper options that will work. More important than brand, IMO, is that a DSS have spools. You can easily add them to yours.

Spools are awesome for DSS models. They're rock solid and worry free when you're putting the bike up or letting it down.
