I need some stands and i found these stands on craigslist in my area. im not sure if they are a good quality. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. I emailed the guy and he said to call him so I can go look at them. Are they worth the price is the biggest question. I don't have much time to research im at work. Thanks

Motogp front and rear for $80 plus extra $12 for spool lifts.

What "stands"

More info would be nice!

 

[Thinkmoto]

generic stands like the harbor freight ones. Pony up the extra cash for pitbull or vortex spool stands. yes the cheapies work but they leave much to be desired.

if you buy right the first time, you'll never think "man, i wish i had better stands." i'd pass, but ultimately the budget is a big deciding factor.

When you say much to be desired what exactly do you mean? I'm just asking cause really don't know what the difference would be. I would love to get the pitbulls but its just not in my budget. Do you guys think these would bend or break with time? That's the one thing that's keeping me from getting them

 

[Agg2001]

bend, yes. plus once you try to torque that axle nut to 80 lbs you're going to get quite a bit of wobble. i yank on my front end ALL THE TIME with my PB triple stand, and it's actually more sturdy than my solid construction DMP rear spool stand.

and fwiw... slider spools are the way to go - and i honestly believe that on a part like that, they're all created equal.

Agg speaks the truth here, I bought harbor freight stands, they are hokey. Spend a little more here and save elsewhere.

 

[Agg2001]

try www.crazedlist.org to search the whole country for a set of pitbulls.

Thanks guys I will give this one some more thought before I make up my mind. Thanks agg for that website I will check it out. Looks like I'm gonna have to save up, I really want to have these before winter when I store it so I still have time to save up some cash.

those or Trex stands. I might get those MJmoto stands and just sell the harbor freight junk i have.

 

[Agg2001]

i've heard the mjmoto's are pieces of shite.

look for stands NOT bolted together. the DMP s-spec is not bad, but it's not pitbull. trex PICKED UP from the shop are solid construction, but the shipped ones are bolt together.

just take your time, and search local boards for used ones. check WERA too - maybe someone has a pitbull sponsor and is trying to sell a few for some cash. if you see a good deal on the pitbulls, jump on it immediately. b/c within 3 hours, they'll be gone. :fact

I spend over $250 for my Graves' stand(s)! Good stands aren't cheap! :fact

Hmm good to know. So if a guy TIG'd the bolt together Trex stands they should be golden?

i've got harbot freight rear stand. got it for free cause it came with my bike. used it couple times, have had no problems. definitely going to upgrade to pitbull stands though. just waiting for that sweet deal on craigslist. cause i don't feel like dishing out 280 in stands when i have a rear stand already.
