Hey everyone, I have seen this thread before somewhere but cant find it. I am looking for a rear stand for my bike and I already know that not all fit. What stands will fit that are at a good price? I have seen some good ones on ebay that go 14" wide and around $50; That enough for my 07 XB9SX? Thanks everyone |

I said the hell with stands after seeing No Rice's engine lift thread. I have a line on one for $200.00. |

"Says on their web page that they make their own products in house in Texas." About Us We design and manufacture our products. All of our stands and chocks are formed, welded and painted by hands. All our products are carefully scrutinized by our staff before leaving the factory. Um, okay. |

+1 on T-Rex Stands. 4cammer. Who really gives a shit where it's made. I've had mine since I've had the bike. They work just as good as a Pit Bull stand would and for less. p.s In case you failed to notice TONS of parts on the Buell aren't made in the good old US of A. |

4cam, you were trash talking on the other thread about T rex stands. Do you have some issue with theses stands or what? Any experience that you would care to share with all of us? |

I have T-Rex stands but the pin for the front stand doesn't fit correctly. |

Mr gto and Mr2shim - sorry, I will keep my opinion on this subject to myself in the future. My bad. I did not intend to "trash talk" this product, but I have made more than a few requests from the company as to where the stands are produced, as that is important to me. If a like product is made in the states I prefer to purchase the US made product. Yes, even if it costs more- as the quality usually is improved as well. After at least 3 attempts I have yet to receive a reply from the company, and find that a bit troubling. I am sure the T-Rex stand is fine, especially for the cost of the product, and this is the last time I will make any comment of it. Did not mean to offend or upset anyone here. This site rocks, and I do not want to change that in any way. |

4cammer -- I too prefer to buy US-made products. As such, RedLine stands is the choice for me. Baxley, in Alabama, is also excellent, as evidenced by their sport chuck. FWIW, the Redline stands are brutally tough and their customer service is second to none. Whenever possible, I try to not enable the Chinese with my money -- always preferring to deal with American companies. Why is this so difficult for some people to understand? |

Guzzimon, I sure hope you don't shop at Walmart. |

I use a Handy rear stand. For the $99 it included a front stand also. But I use a pit Bull stand that I got from Appleton s for the front. You can get the Handy directly from them Handy industries in something like Marshmallow, Ia. I assume it is manufactured there since they are a manufacturer. |
