While helping my friend put his newly chrome wheel back on the 08 busa today, when having problems with the rear brake caliper sliding it back into the groove, when the old bike stand that we had holding the bike up for the last two months while the wheels were getting chromed slid foward snapping off a piece of the lower belly pan, which sucks. While the the wheels were getting chromed I purchased a new set od pit bull stands but was unable to change the stands out. Those swingarm stands have a tendency to slide foward, from now on I will only use the spool lifts which to me is the safest. I just ordered a baxley sport chock from charles and I can't wait until it comes in for easier lifts and for safety reasons. I guest you can put the bike into the baxley chock first and then lift it from the rear without any help, will see. Called up one place for a price on the part and they told me it was $162.00, I will try to contact a couple of other places to see who is the cheapest, if anyone knows of any other place to purchase this part please let me know or PM me, thanks....By the way why is it a pain to put the rear wheel back on with this new system, it is tough by yourself, my 1999 was easy, any suggestions or helpful hints in this matter please let me know, because I will be doing a lot more work on my friends bike as well as mine. Thanks again. Mike
