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.

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.
