does anyone use whell stands?????

 

[stevensue]

Yes, try Pit Bull through www.americansportbike.com or T-Rex from www.t-rex-racing.com. Both are good products.

cool thank you very much!

You're welcome. I bought the T-Rex front triple tree and rear stand set. I really like them. The front can be used as a standard front stand and as a triple tree stand with the attachment. Bike is very stable on the stands. Let them know what year and model you have. They send a set of five different size front tree pins. So I can use the stand on my Buell and Kawasaki.

Stevensue, where did you get your stands? Are they quality, durable looking stands? I'm looking for a triple tree front stand and swingarm set to buy w/o breaking the bank. I also dont want to go cheap and leave my bike on something that will break.

+1 on the t-Rex stands. I got mine from ebay front and rear for something like $180. Just make sure that for the front you order the triple tree setup and not the ones that connect to the bottom of the fork tubes as they are not equal in length.

Did you have to order a special part for the buell triple tree? Do you have an S or R. T-Rex site looks like they are selling for $140 a pair

I have a XB12Ss and I made the mistake the fist time around of ordering the none triple tree front stand not realizing that the fork's are not equal in length. So for another $60 T-Rex sent me the adapter for it and now all is well. Also when you order they will ask you the make and model of your bike so the proper stands will be sent.

Great. Thanks for the heads up. I didnt realize the forks were dif lengths. I'm ordering them today.

What are you talking about? Did you take the bike off the kickstand and still have forks that were not the same length?? I used my T-rex front stand with the non tripple tree adapter and it worked fine.

[confused] I never thought of that. Ok smart guy maybe your bike is different, but on my bike one fork is longer to make room for the axle pinch bolts.

See, I speak the truth.

Ok I'm sorry if I offended you, I was just shocked because I used it without problems. I just went out and got some pictures also and you are correct there is a roughly 1/4" difference.

I stand corrected but the stand still works. I prefer the tripple tree though Its a must have

I use a pitbull rear stand. It does the job but has no compensation for the difference in the two sides of the swing arm so the bike leans left a bit. Barely noticeable. I dont use a front stand for anything.
