I got a Pit Bull rear stand with the forward handle a few weeks ago. It's GREAT - quality construction and the forward handle makes it take up less room in the garage. Ordered it from Sport Bike Track Gear.

Bought a Bike-Lift Italian rear (SSS) and a T-Rex front. The T-Rex is less than half the price and the quality/strength/finish is about the same.

I will.

What else do you have to say about them? I have no first hand knowledge.

The pin fit perfectly in my rear axle. I've had it outside for entire summers no rust, the paint has hardly scuffed even though I used it on rough concrete. I wanted a pit bull but never regret ed buying a T-rex. I have their sliders as well and have been impressed with the quality of both products. I'm going to order a front stand as soon as they are in stock again.

I'm assuming this is a DSS bike....

I inherited the rear stand when I got my 620 and have kept it. It's from 'Handy' (insert joke here..) They go for $87 and it's a great value. Aside for some fading on the paint from sitting outside a bunch, it's held up to a couple years of abuse.

On a sort of related note. Oncycles has the cyclecat front stands for $99...

Don't cheap out on a rear stand. The cheaper ones are cheap for a reason. They don't have a lot of stiffness and can be difficult to work with because they twist too much. It won't do much good if you saved $50 on your rear stand that dropped your bike and did $300 in damage.

I scored a pair of Handy stands for $99 on Feb. 13 2002 and they have served me well for over 6 years. I've used them for maintenance, repairs and track days and haven't had a problem. FWIW

I just picked up a Pit Bull "Supersport" stand. I've never used a stand before, but it's quite heavy-duty and extremely simple.
