AHAH That's exactly what I was going to say!booth23 said:People buying them because they look neat holding up the bike :smilebig:
Nah, it's the fault of the user not following directions.booth23 said:That is not the fault of the stand, blame that on Honda for not putting spool mounts on the fargin thing :rant:
Dude, that's where it STARTED! :thumbd:ConqSoft said:Nah, it's the fault of the user not following directions.The Pit-Bull stand says to put it BEHIND the weld lines.

Case in point (sort of):
EDIT: That picture reminds me of why I hated that stand. It would creep forward all by itself. One day I set it up, went got lunch came back to do some work and the stand was all the way forward and had pinned the kickstand in the *UP* possition. WHat a PITA that was... :thumbd:
i would NEVER feel comfortable with the stand that afr back on the swingarm. paranoid i am.ConqSoft said:Nah, it's the fault of the user not following directions.The Pit-Bull stand says to put it BEHIND the weld lines.

I've been using a Pit-Bull rear stand for 2 years and have always put it behind the welds and have never had it slip forward OR backward. It's always been a piece of cake to use...although spools would be nicer.freq said:i would NEVER feel comfortable with the stand that afr back on the swingarm. paranoid i am.
