Or you could just invert the passenger pegs and use jackstands. |

I'm using front and rear pitbulls. The rear is the 'swingarm' type that pitbull offers. Purchased both used and saved money. http://www.pit-bull.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PR OD&Store_Code=PBMSA&Product_Code=F0002-000&Categor y_Code=rear_stands |

I'm using T-Rex and haven't had any problems. Rear came with swing arm and spool attachments. |

Whatever you do. Do not buy cheap stands. I made the mistake of buying a cheap set off of ebay. The bike almost fell on a kid at a bike show. I gave it to the neighbor. He doesn't have any kids, and i don't like him very much anyway. I told him they were junk. He HAD to have it for his bagger. I know I'll come home one day and see his bike tipped over in his drive way. Got my Pitbull from Al at asb. Worth every cent! |

Ok so basically a standard swingarm frame will work. I was looking at the cheap ones too. Pretty hesitant. What was so bad about them? |

I've seen some very cheap ones that are incredibly flimsy and weak. I recently got this semi-cheap one: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/4/75/38785/ ITEM/Motorsport-Products-Universal-Rear-Sport-Bike -Stand.aspx It's not even close to as solid as a pitbull, but not the worst stand I've ever seen. After a month of regular use, it's still working pretty well. Will buy a pittbull next time, but when you're on a budget, this one is OK. |
