rollastand

have any of you guys tried usung one of these?

I watched the video regarding the use of this stand.  It seems to have very limited applications since the bike stays leaned over, will not be lifted appreciably and must remain on the kickstand.  Also, in the demo, the wheel did not seem to be turning all that freely so even cleaning and lubing a chain might be difficult.  Here's a purportedly decent stand set you can buy for $125 shipped:

They're not pitbull stands but a lot of the SV1000 guys bought and like these stands.  Also, I think the guy who makes the stands is willing to sell a rear only.

thanks for the info.

From what I've been reading on the Busa forum, I'de stay away from Checkered Flag Motor Sport site.  Seems like they don't ship out their stuff for at least a month after you order it, sometimes longer.  A couple of folks had to nag to get their stuff.  The owner might be a bit overwhellmed.

Plus you dumped your bike already, why tempt fate again

the quickstand is what I use to clean my chain.  It works with the spools I gave you (I tried it)   

Anyhow, it's cheap, it works, and you can have it with you at all times.  I wouldn't use it to do any major work on the bike, though.

Really like it

[VermilionX]

that's a good price JC
 
if you like it then i assume it's good. 

can you buy them anywhere aorund here or are they just through ebay?

[JC]

Just through ebay I think.  The $20 shipping sucks, but its a very solid product.

[VermilionX]

thanks. that's the best recommendation i've got so far. 

also, i looked at the front and rear combo... it's $99 but same price on shipping. hmmm...

I bought this stand (CycleCat UCS1).  I didn't buy the frontstand (I would have to take off the front fender for it to work) but its the best stand I've ever used.  First time I raised a bike with so little effort and without feeling like I'm going to dump it.  But you got to get past the price.

Plus its got some heft to it.
