Hello Gents, Any recommendation for a rear wheel stand? I borrowed my buddies today that he uses for his Gixxer 750 and his BMW S1000RR as well and it is too narrow by close to an inch for my 1125R. He bought it on eBay and I see they list Buell application at $47.49 with free shipping, but at 16" wide I'm afraid it's to narrow. The company selling says it will work (via email) but I can't see how. Is Pit Bull the way to go at $154.00? Also,without a center stand on the bike, how do you use these without a 2nd person or dangerously balancing the bike while trying to lift? I had one person tell me Pit Bull offers a stand which can lift rear wheel from the side of bike. Any feedback or input is greatly appreciated. Also what do you guys recommend for the front end? Best regards. (Message edited by Fireboltxb9r on November 09, 2010) |

The pit bull intended for the '08 model is really nice. The way it cradles the swing arm while at the same time making access to all the bolts reasonable makes it a winner. I use a "regular" pit bull on the 09 with some specially fabricated "L" bits to fit the swing arm spools and it works just fine, but the 08 stand is just really sweet. |

I use Pit Bulls front and rear that I got from American Sport Bike, they work fantastic!

Thanks guys for the input. For the money I'm leaning toward the T-Rex. With the savings over the Pit Bull I can purchase a brand new tire! |
