Title: Need to buy/borrow a front stand...
Post by: duc_fan on August 26, 2008, 12:43:09 PM
Hey all,

I know someone had a frontstand for sale... dunno if it's still out there or not.  I need a front stand next week, so I can take the wheels off the SS and haul them to Cycle Gear to have the new tires installed.

Wondering if someone has one I can borrow, or if Mo or E still has one for sale...

I plan to haul the wheels to CG on Tuesday of next week (I'm taking that week following Labor Day off), and they said it's a next-day turnaround, so I could probably have them back to you by Wednesday night, depending on when CG gets done and I can pick 'em up.

I really need to invest in a frontstand, since I now have 2 bikes.  I'd like one that holds it by the steering stem.

Anyway, if someone with a stand available to borrow could get back to me, I am offering a six-pack of microbrew (your preference) in exchange for the use of your stand for a couple days.  [thumbsup]

You're welcome to borrow mine for a few days.  It's a PitBull that grabs the bottom of the fork, fine for tire swaps but not fork work.  I'm in Lake O.  I'll PM you my address.

You have a rear stand, right?  Can't use the front without the rear.

Of course you may. It was Toolfan who sold his PitBull front to me for $70.00. Obviously it will work on your moto and I'm told it's at the Morilla race garage. Grab it while he's around. -billy

Ry, when do need a pit crew?

Damn straight it does. By the end of the season my track bike will be the same color as my 848.

Tempting . . . I'm having a rough time at work lately  . . . a day of relaxing might just be what I need . . .

I'll get back to you.

Wow!  I should have expected such a response... but it's always cool to see the level of support in this group.  [thumbsup]  Thanks guys.

Scott is relatively near me in Wilsonville, and while a steering stem stand would be preferable, I'm not sure if Ryan will have the right pin.  Scott, you can expect a PM sometime here shortly...

We'll be adding Scott to the list of people to whom I owe beers.  [beer]

Thanks again, everyone!
