Probably not because of the supports and swing arm angle.

I used this one for the front and rear of my FZR600R and for the front of my 1125.

It's not nearly wide enough for the rear of the 1125 and I did not want to intentionally bend it, so I bought the 09 Pit Bull spool stand. You might be able to use one like this with two support fingers if you position it just right and if it is wide enough. It would be similar to using it on the front fork, but with slightly different angles on the rear corner of the swing arm.

Scott I bought one thats a no it wont work
waste of 35.00$ not bad for cheap It can be made to work on a tuber.
Look around in this area there was a thread about stands specificaly Trex,

the '08 bikes require the 3 pin cradle
the '09 and later bikes with spools can use a spool stand.

Hild that stand is awesome! I guess you can change the height of the holders? That's perfect for the 1125R!

I have the Harbor freight stand... works fine with my Tubers' swing-arm, bought the adapters for the fork so it works there, and while it may not be the best stand for the job... it WILL and HAS worked on my 1125R as well!

yes it will work but its a little narrow. It left a couple scratches on my swing arm on the 1125.

I'm a cheapie too but the T-Rex two stands for $125 is a deal. Eazy people to talk to also.

I see the T-Rex stands for for the CR...are the R stands the same?
I was under the impression the CR swingarm is different.

Either way...125 bucks for T-Rex stands versus 100 bucks for Harborfreight stands...I'd spend the extra 25 bones.

I use the alloy stand from HF but i spaced the uprights to the outside and filled the cap with a piece of wood cut to size. Now its wide enough to fit.

it sure is...the first link i posted....works fine....i mean i guess an 1125r specific stand would work better? but my bike is elevated and stable...so I guess it works.

I got the cheapie one from HF and used a floor jack and a block of wood to spread it out enough. It fits and holds my XB just fine.

I have the low profile harbor freight i bought a couple pieces of 1 1/4 square tube and drilled the holes to 5/16 to widen mine and it works great on both my bikes.
I even bought the 8 mm lift spools for my 1125 and 10 mm and use them as sliders on my xb
