I need suggestions for a Rear Stand to fit my 2006 XB9SX, and where to order them? |

Daves also has them. The front stand is a good idea too. |

A rear PitBull from DaveS is $115.00 plus shipping. I just bought one from him a couple of months ago. My wife bought me a front PitBull stand for Christmas! SCORE!! |

Pit bull, vortex and woodcraft are the best stands on the market. They are very worthwhile if you use them frequently. |

If you don't like spending a ton of cash, but a cheap adjustable rear stand (i did and haven't had a problem yet). Or, my brother-in-law welded one up for his R6 for less than 20-30$ and it works awesome. If you want to sink a lot of cash, but a PitBull, they look solid, and perform just as well (friend has one), but if want to save money, buy a cheap stand (i did). |

Just have a friend or wife pick up the back end of the bike and hold it for you while you do your work. |

I drilled the swingarm just in front of the wheel spindle, and fitted a couple of aftermarket paddock stand bobbins from Valter moto. This way I can use a 'hook' type paddock stand (Champion/Micron etc)that is extremely stable and won't slip on the swingarm, yet still remove the rear wheel when I want to. Just make sure you drill the holes for the bobbins level (and not through the bit with the oil in!)
