anybody think this wont work? http://www.harborfreight.com/motorcycle-swingarm-r ear-stand-66192.html | ||

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. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200 349259_200349259 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. | ||

thanks for the info guys....I just cant hardly bring myself to spend over 100 bucks on stands... I'm cheap! | ||

Hild that stand is awesome! I guess you can change the height of the holders? That's perfect for the 1125R! (Message edited by drawkward on June 10, 2010) | ||

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! | ||
| Xb9er |
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 got this version to work http://www.harborfreight.com/low-profile-rear-moto rcycle-spool-stand-99701.html after encouraging it apart slightly with an floor jack....x | ||

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. | ||
| Scottorious |
got some displays models from harbor freight for half off...and they totally work just fine..so for 40 bucks i got some halfway decent stands! | ||
| Jrfitzny |
Scott, do you mind posting the item no. if you have it available? Is it the same stand as the harbor freight model linked above? | ||
| Scottorious |
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. | ||
| Tbolt98 |
and never pay full price from H.F.... there is always a coupon at their website or flier! | ||

I have different stand and it does not work on the 25, I will have to go and see about that one. | ||

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. | ||

What Jim, that stand we bought at 8pm to check out my Uly bearings isn't good enough for ya?!?!  (At least we didn't have to start cutting up the landscaping decorations...) | ||
| Mrcjoy8 |
I use this stand and i does work ....I also have front lifts as well. I just opened it up a little, i works fine for me, | ||

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 | ||

Hey Rt_, got any pictures. I'm getting ready to do the floor jack thing with my new Harbor freight lift. |
