don't have any. Need a pair. BROKE!!!. So, what are your suggestions? Harbor Freight? Or just save until I have the $$$$ for brand 'XXXX' ? (I put four in there because three would have left me WIDE open... )
I'm holding a 2008 CBR600rr that's stock. But It won't be my only bike. The wife is eyeing a Ninja. So I will have to consider that too.

So what's the favorite way to go around here? Other than getting your buddy to hold the bike straight while juggling the beer he mooched from your fridge...

P.S. I think I put this in the right forum. I thought about the mods area. But this made more sense. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Some people would say buy once and buy Pitbulls but I've heard good things about GP Industries stands.

Second that. It's hard to beat a set for 100 honestly.

I have a pitbull front and vortex rear that both work really well. I also have a power stand front that's OK.

My buddy has the trex, I've got the pitbulls. If you wanna save money the trex are fine, but the pitbulls are really sweet.

Bling is cool but a stand is one of those things where I want function over form. A cheap stand or a blinged out stand allowing 10k or more worth of motorcycle to fall isn't acceptable.

I have a few pit bulls and the T-Rex. Honestly the T-Rex isn't that bad and well worth it to pick up a set for $100.

I've got a track side stand on the rear that I picked up from Cycle gear and a T Rex front stand that works as both a fork stand and a triple tree stand.

Both are fine and hold the bike up with no problem. I've done everything from changing oil to removing the wheels with them.

Save your money and get a good set, Pit Bull, T-rex, Vortex etc. Don't be cheap, it will cost you less in the long run.

Whatever you get do not buy these http://www.flyncycle.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=2

Get some with welded joints and screw tightening hooks for the rear spools.
