Need a Bike Stand - Which is Best???

[CaboWabo9SX]

Is there a general consensus as to what MFG. of rearend bike stand is best for the rear swingarm of our Buells? Trying to change the starter gets all the way to the kickstand. DOH!

I use a cheap one from harbor freight, its cheap and works fine in the rear, but the buels front forlks are longer on one side so its not so good, you need a adjustable stand.

Wait...one fork is longer than the other? How does that work?

the fork isnt really longer but the casting extends lower on the left leg. Its farther below the centerline of the axle to accommodate the pinch bolts. its easier to use a front stand with the pin that lifts it up by the lower tree.
