so a while back when i added the ext swing arm to my bike, and then tried to get the tire on.. well, it was pretty much a huge pain in the butt because the rear wheel would be up against the handle and id have to "juggle" the swingarm to get the tire in there. so i was wondering what yall with ext swing arms are doing/using. i thought about getting a rear stand and cutting the bottom/sides and welding a 4" tube. so basically its 4 inchs longer and this was it will "work" anyone tried this?
rear stands for extended bikes...

They are great, just put a drop of oil on the pin when you put them together so it will rotate smoothly when you raise it.those look like they would work alot better then the others i have seen. most have the handle go at like a45* angle where those are lower. ill have to get those
Don't forget to put your kickstand down, BEFORE you take your bike off of them....
They make oiling your chain a breeze too.
You will like them, they are very sturdy.
This is the stand I will be ordering to go with my Canadian Mike 0-6" Stretched 600 Arm in May.

I just changed the front tire and the axle bolt was tight; no problem taking it off, or putting it back on, they worked like a dream.They are great, just put a drop of oil on the pin when you put them together so it will rotate smoothly when you raise it.those look like they would work alot better then the others i have seen. most have the handle go at like a45* angle where those are lower. ill have to get those

It's back together now and ready to hit the streets.
I like the dual wheels, they automatically balance the arm out, and do not try to twist or anything, like a single wheel might.
The price is good too, $89.95 for BOTH, I have seen higher prices for just one.
On a side note; I had to make a tool to take the axle apart. I used a 5/8" bolt and nut, which has a 15/16" head.(that happens to be the same size of the hex "hole" in the axle)
I welded the nut to the bolt and insert the bolt head into the hex end of the axle. I use a 15/16" socket on the nut and it works so easy.
Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner. We cover this for you guys...

Do you have any stands that fit a 300 without spools?
