GPI Industries stands

[Miami78]

Just got my stands in, couldn't be happier. They are incredibly beefy and the bike is rock solid lifted up on both...extremely heavy duty and easy to use. $170 shipped (he gave me a $10 mil discount) for both front w/triple tree adapter and rear, and attachments for lifting by swingarm spools and bottoms of the forks if I ever find I need those.

Bought straight through GPI, got the "factory blemished" set, although I can't see any reason for it to be called blemished. Shipping was fast and packed well. Here are the pics:

Nice!

Did you get both front and rear for 170?

 

[Miami78]

Yep, the whole kit, shipped, for $170. They are heavy, too...very solid. The rear is at it's widest setting to fit the xb swingarm...and from what I understand 1125 swingarms are wider, so you would have to bend it just a touch to make it fit.

Wow...thats a pretty good price. I wonder if I can convice my wife that I need them as a christmas present [smirk]

 

[Miami78]

That was with a military discount...normally it is $180 shipped for everything.

Well im in the military so it works. Can you give us close up pics on how it lifts the front and back. More interested in the back.

 

[Miami78]

Sure, I'll take some more when I get home from work tonight.

They look nice but I wish they sold just the front because I just bought a rear stand the other day so I am looking for a nice front stand now for a good price.

 

[Miami78]

They might...I would email Lee and check, his contact info is on the GPI website, he got back to me pretty quick with my questions.

Here are some closer pics:

And all the extra bits it came with:

DO you actually have to bolt it to the front?

 

[Miami78]

It's just a pin that slips into the hole in the bottom of the triple tree...all the brass pins in the last pic are all the spares for different bikes. Takes roughly 5 seconds to pop it up on the front stand once you have the rear stand in place.

Miami78, Are you still happy with your GPI's? I am getting ready to order a set. How far off the ground does it lift the rear tire?

 

[Miami78]

Still very happy with them. Will usually pop the bike up on both if I think it'll be sitting for more than just overnight. The rear is usually about a half inch off the ground I think (might be higher if I used the spool adapters), give me just a minute and I'll go take a look.

 

[Miami78]

Yup, 1/2".

 

[bajamxr77]

Awesome! I will be ordering tomorrow. Thanks again for the help, and quick response!

Miami78 I finally got a chance to use my GPI stands, New Shoes, they are AWESOME! Thanks again for reccomending them. -Baja

What is the website you got these from? The GPI link in the initial post says "under construction". I just need a front stand and don't care if its a blemish. In my garage it will get its own blemishes!!

 

[Miami78]

Awesome Baja! I'm deployed so my baby is up on my GPI's for 6 months while I'm gone...

xlr8n - not sure what's up...guess they are revamping the website? I was able to find their number on Google, give it a shot, 631 258 8289 and the owners name is Lee.
