Bike stands?

[bonechip67]

I found a forward handled/ rear spooled in the local Craig's. But when I went to website they said not recommended for Buell XB models.. do you think it will still work on my 1125?

The Xb doesn't have lift spools

I went ahead and bought the pit bull for $70.. its brand new and came with 6mm spools. Not sure what size i should use.. any ideas?

I just got the T-Rex rear stand and I am not happy with it.

The y-shaped pieces that mate with the OEM swingarm spools scraped my swingarm when I rotate the bike up onto the stand! GRRRRR. [mad]

They also included some rubber-coated pieces apparently for bikes without spools, so I tried those next. However, on the left side of the swingarm the lower belt cover partially obstructs access such that you can't get much rubber-to-swingarm contact. When I tried to rotate the bike up onto the stand it damn near fell off!

I will attempt to bend the offending tips of the y-shaped pieces slightly so that it won't scrape the swingarm, but the damage is already done...

Im selling some trackside stands i used once for my 1125cr before i had some given to me. Tried to refund them but waited to long. Im selling mine for 90 SHIPPED for both. They DO fit and work perfectly too!

All stands will do that. That is why i bought aftermarket spools for 25$ from cyclegear

Good to know, but too late for me...
