Anyone use the Motostance M-6 rear stand with the XB?

I've searched all over and can't for the life of me find any width measurement. Here's one link to the stand:

I returned the above stand as it was not wide enough for the swingarm - 08 XB12R.
Let me know what stand you end up getting.
Cheers.

What size front pin fits. I have old stands and pickup front of my sons Xb. Rear was a touch arrow but a portal owner spread the just right. But none of my pin work on his front. So what size do I need to order?

18mm pin

I ordered a set of Venom stands from Amazon due here today, less than $75 for the pair shipped to my door, Ill post picks and give my opinion as soon as I can.

Awesome - that's the information I was looking for.

I've got the T-rex stand set - but I was considering a dedicated stand to use with the 5-0dro spool sliders. I'll pass.

Chicago, the stock muffler is a jacking point, it's strong enough to hold up the bike. I believe you have a Jardine if I remember correctly. For shock removal, I would pull your Jardine off and support the engine with jack stands, or one of those motorcycle/atv jacks.

Here is some pictures of my venom rear stand, website says 13-11", had to put the spring on the outside, opens up to 14+ inches, worth $75 for the pair but these are far from being the best out there. good for cleaning tires and light maintenance.

Also does the stock lifting point work with a Hawk muffler? Somewhere I read that it is not as strong since is has been gutted, let me know, thanks!

 

[AZmidget91]

Yeah, light maintenance....I'll keep posting my pictures in these threads until I see pictures of them failing.

For epoxy coating? Just do it yourself, cost me a couple hundred for all the stuff.

have had my Trex stands since 2006 and got the upper triple adapter two years ago, no issues ever. original stands were 99 bucks for the pair on ebay from Trex and the adapter direct fro Trex for 41 bucks. used them on my FZ-09 now

Sooo... If i was going to store my bike for the winter, would I leave it up on my venom triple tree stand... Seems alot of pressure on bottom bearing???

I would leave mine on there and most of mine are. But I'm no John, he would know that answer better than most and that does bring up a good point about the bearing. I'm assuming you could nix the triple tree attachment and just lift it w the other attachments at the bottom of the fork tubes...

 

[buell248]

Thanks, the trex sliders get in the way so I bought the tree attachment
