I have been looking for a decent bike stand for a while now. I went to my local Cyclegear and the stands were not only kinda pricey, but not very impressive ($120 for a MotoBoss stand? Really?)  — And I know I have seen better deals that that around the Internet. So I started looking around and found two great options (That come highly recommended), one bargain choice, and one creme de’ la creme choice.

Now, remember, a good motorcycle stand is something that will last you the test of time. So, don’t think of this as a part for this bike, but as a tool for your shop, like a good set of sockets or wrenches.

T-Rex Bike Stands:

Price: ~60$ (rear) ~$110 (set) plus ~$15 for spools / bobbins / swingarm sliders.

These are a nice set of less expensive stands. But, they get the job done.. These stands come very highly recommended by the community, and look good doing it. Overall, these will probably be the set I end up picking up. You just really can’t beat the price on these guys.

Pitt Bull Stands:

Price: ~135$ (rear) ~$300 (set) plus ~$15 for spools / bobbins / swingarm sliders.
URL: Pitt Bill Products

These stands should last you forever. They are beefy. They are modular. They are just sick. Giving you the option to do spool or forklift with both rear and front lift, etc etc. If you want a stand that you know you will never have to replace, these are your bride to be’s.

If you build it, they will come…

And building it y’all did… A demand for fender eliminators that is. Targa, who’s previous offering was incompatible with the seat cowl, has released a new fender eliminator that has proper clearances to allow for our beloved rump hump… (Not that it matters, seeing as how the US is completely dried of up seat cowls right now.)

This kit from targa comes with turn signals, and also a trick billet license plate light. All for a damn good price.. And from what I have been told, this is a No-Cut kit, but I cannot 100% verify this. So if any knows for sure, please post up in the comments!

Manufacture: Targa
Price: ~$90.00

Thanks for the Tips Andrew & Jake!

Last night I saw a kid pull up to the local watering hole with your a-typical Jixxer (What is around here pretty much standard issue… You see so many I wouldn’t be surprised if you get one free at Walmart for ever 100lbs of Government cheese you buy) But - What impressed me was the Joe Rocket magnetic tank bag that he had on the bike.

I have been looking for a decent magnetic bag for a while now, and they all seem to either be so small that all you can fit in it is your wallet and cell phone.. Or so large that they look like they were designed for people trafficing… The Joe Rocket Manta Bag seems to do a good job of finding the happy medium between the two.

Coming in four colors (Blue, red, Black, Silver) and for right about $50 at most online stores I have found (Cycleworld, Kneedraggers, etc…) This is a cheap and easy upgrade to give you extra storage when you need it… (And It bonuses as a tank whistle muffler as well! )
