Best Stands to Use

#1 Post by borofc » Sat Dec 17, 2016 1:16 pm

Wondering what everyone is using for front and rear stands, I have a Pitbull but it won't work on the rear, not enough lift.

Not to happy about using my front Pitbull either doesn't sit too well on the bottom of the fork legs.

I have a couple Pitbull stands I use, but I don't use the fork leg Pitbull, I use the steering yoke version.

Rock solid long term storage and good clearance to work around.

Thanks RC & Silver

Did you have to extend the rear, the stock one isn't high enough or have you added spools.

My RZ500 has a CBR400RR NC29 swingarm with spools.

I forgot about this. Sorry.

My RZ500 is all stock. I went out tonight and put my Pitbull stand under the swingarm. It lifted the rear wheel about 2 inches off the garage floor. I have the stand located 2 inches forward of the rear axle.

My Pitbull front stand locates under the headstock, and ideally that is always best. I don't own or trust the stands that mount under the lower fork legs.
