I also have two bikes and only one set of stands and my Pitbull stands didn't cost $20.

My front stands are the pin type and I know I could roll the front tire into this cradle quicker than having to first put the bike on a rear stand and then having to line up the steering stem hole with the pin on the front stand...and then take all of it back down and do the same thing to the other bike...just to spin the wheel for a cleaning...plus I could have the wife cleaning her chain at the same time I'm cleaning mine without having to have two rear stands taking up space in the garage.

No real "allure"...just thought it was a cool idea for $20.

Yea, both of my front stands are a pain. My Suzuki stand fits in the holes at the bottom of my fork AFTER I remove the axle locking bolts. You've already mentioned the Pit Bull front stand. Which is exceptionally painful with my front lowered. Oh well, I'm not selling the damn things!

Here's a pic of the $60 Original Rollerstand for comparison. I kinda like the ramp on the one I have.

Tigger, couple questions..

How stable is the bike on it?
Do you have 2 of them?
How is it with one on each end?
Can you provide me with a link to their website with that price? Not sure your scan will work at my store.

Why are you getting your rims repainted? Why not powdercoated?

Hahaha! Didn't we already have the powdercoating argument ,Chris?

I only got one because I can only clean one wheel at a time.

The bike is fine on the stand but they do suggest that you use a spacer under the kick stand if necessary. Because it raises the wheel only about an 1/2 inch, I can't see where it would unduly stress the kick stand.

Sorry, I searched both Motorcyclist and Harbor Freight and I couldn't find anything. All they really need is the number off the coupon to input into the register. Heck, my coupon didn't want to scan either so she had to put the number in manually.

It's not the greatest thing since sliced bread or anything but it beats running my stands up and down three floors of stairs just to wipe off my rims or lube my chain.
