Author Message   Barker Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 07:35 am:        oh bother, Pit bull slid forward. Bike fell on its butt. Swing arm wedged its self into the stand. Broke a few bits and added more scratches/gouges. Took a few hours to get it back up by myself.   Glitch Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 07:44 am:        Damn Barker! At least you're back up and ready for Barber. Think of me when you're enjoying that most awesome track. I can't make it this time That's the first Pit Bull I've seen broken. Time for those DarkHorse Moto sliders, that have the slots for the stand!   Wolfridgerider Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 07:49 am:        It would be nice if Buell would put a couple of threaded holes for sliders.... The standard slider thru the axle is nice for a dirt dive, but it you are changing the tire they don't do you any good.   Xl1200r Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 08:03 am:        The standard slider thru the axle is nice for a dirt dive, but it you are changing the tire they don't do you any good. This is my thinking, and exactly why I woudln't get the through-axle stand sliders. But after seeing this, I really have no idea what to do...   Glitch Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 08:05 am:        The standard slider thru the axle is nice for a dirt dive, but it you are changing the tire they don't do you any good. It's still early!   Wolfridgerider Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 08:07 am:        sleepy time?   Wolfridgerider Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 08:14 am:        If I'm at home I use the rear stand with the thru axle spools to lift the bike. Then I use my cheapo motorcycle lift to get both end off the ground. At the track its a different story....   Spiderman Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 08:16 am:        could always be worse. Could be getting ready to run Wolfpen and BAM fouled plugs!   New12r Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 08:22 am:        It would be nice if Buell would put a couple of threaded holes for sliders.... +1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000 Never had issues with the firebolt, The Uly is not even worth using a Pitbull stand on. Barker, you need any parts?? I am sure I have a heel gaurd I can bring you.   Barker Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 09:16 am:        need left heel guard, maybe right.   Nautique4life Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 09:21 am:        The stand broke? After sliding forward? Details please. I'm sure the people that DON'T own a Pit are going to eat this up. I can see it now..."I never had that happen with my Trex, and it was cheaper" I personally dont own a stand, I use my buddies. But when I do get one, it WILL be a Pit. I have heard nothing but good about them and their CS. Sucks about the luck man. Except for the paint on the swingarm, it could have been worse. I have seen bikes take a fall from similar accidents. At least heel guards are cheap.   86129squids Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 09:30 am:        Hey Barker: I have a pair of CF heel guards- let me know if you want them. (Don't know what they're worth at this writing, but I'll sell em CHEEP enough.) Easy ride up from Nashvegas for you, or next time I'm in Mt. Juliet, I'll holler atcha. Good excuse to ride ET roads....   Barker Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 10:03 am:        Pit bull did not break. I removed the hardware to get the thing off of my bike. It did slide forward.   Wolfridgerider Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 10:24 am:        I'm gonna make 2 "hooks" to keep mine from sliding back. Its a PITA to keep repositioning the bike... then it just slides back down again.....   Glitch Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 10:31 am:        I removed the hardware to get the thing off of my bike. Gotcha my bad. At least it looks like the BadWeB is looking out for ya! Gotta love this place!   Hexangler Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 11:28 am:        I really enjoy my HANDY pneumatic shop lift. I know this comment won't help you now, but consider the benefits in the future. You can also make a front tire chuck from plywood and 2x4's, or lash the front brake lever, or chuck front tire to a corner of a room. Hex   New12r Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 11:37 am:        Barker, I will bring both heel gaurds for ya monday!   Barker Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 01:05 pm:        Thanx a million!   Xbjelly9s Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 05:39 pm:        When I made my stands I made the lift pieces from 2 1/2 inch channel and cut the inside channel down to about a 1/2 inch to kinda wedge in the narrow end of the swingarm. I coated the pieces with liquid rubber used to coat tool handles and whatnot. My 2 cents!   Nevrenuf Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 09:40 pm:        barker, i have the set of heel gurards that i took of the lightning before i wrecked it. if you ever need them, just say the word.   Iamike Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 11:12 pm:        I mentioned in another thread that I run a tie wrap around the foot peg through holes in my jack stands when supporting the bike. At least the stands move with the bike if it shifts. I figured that out real quick when I just about did the same thing while horsing something around one day.
