I don't care what anyone says, I have used these several times now and I stand behind them 100%. They are $59 each and if you get Motorcyclist or Sport Rider, there's a 20% coupon. I have also seen them on sale for $39 on occasion... In fact, the Aug Motorcyclist has a coupon for the stand at $39 (just checked). Your call....

hey now. I like cheaper options. looks like that would pretty much do the same thing. will have to dig around a little more.

I guess no one else here hauls bikes on trailers? I actually like the Condor as an option for standing the bike upright on the garage floor as well. looks like the HF model would do that as well.

in the past I have used regular wheel chocks and tie straps in the front with fork compression. the nice part of the Condor was no need too compress the fork.

I have a set of condor stands and they work well. I started strapping the front wheel down after a near disaster earlier this season but that was due to some NYC potholes/shitty pavement.

otherwise I have been using the same set for over 5 yrs now and theyre still going strong.

The HF stands come with rubber feet for garage use. FWIW, I still strap my bike down but these stands make it a much easier one man operation. I've seen the Condor stands and they are really nice but I'm not sure that they are 6X as nice as the HF stands at $39 vs $250.

I still strap thre front down as well, they say you dont but I am not testing that theory.

I bought these several yrds ago think they were around 170 or 180 then withthe discount I got from a track org. The ones I have dont have the base though so they stay on the trailer. I am going to make a base for one this year since my new track bike doesnt have a kickstand.

For the trailer...I'm saving for one of these:

I actually advise against the cheap angle-iron wheel chocks. *ones without the locking rocker unlike in the picture*

The GSXR fell over in the garage on one. If it's not set in the chock "just right" it's worthless and the bike tips either one way or another. I will never use it for anything than more than a wheel chock if the bikes getting strapped on a trailer or truck.

Now the quality condor-style, I've run bikes into and jumped off of without so much as a bobble.

Also a NICE feature about the locking arm, it's not a set bump. In which cheaper chocks have permanently which is worthless on a slick, non-padded garage floor.

You know, I honestly don't mind people being against my opinion but could you at least look at what I'm talking about...

Oh yea these stands are SO different... The Condor is obviously worth 6X as much... Look man, the same amount of steel, welding, paint and time went into both units. Please show me the difference.

You know, I honestly don't mind people trying to one up me.

But you need to go back and reread my post as it really doesn't pertain to the exact stand you posted.

*I'll save you the trouble, I'm referring this style of wheel chock
