ok. will do that tomorrow. thanks dad
I'll ditto on the Pit Bull, very good solid rear stand. For my old '03, I had made spools on my lathe. I had never seen spools in real life and the ones I made were huge- about 1.5" long and 1.125" diameter. They worked very well but went with the '03 when I sold it. I bought some black spools on ebay for my new '11- they are "miniature" in comparison. I had to place a shim (flat washer) behind them to keep the pit bull from rubbing paint off the swing arm. Might make up some larger ones, or watch on ebay.
I use an Abba stand. Not sure if they are available in the US though. Motorcycle Stands - Abba Stands, UK

Same problem that I had. I flipped the top support V notch around so that the short end was towards the front of the motorcycle and it doesn't rub. If you make some bigger and better ones let me know.

Just talked to Pit-Bull and I ordered some of there spools. They are wider and he said there should not be a problem with scrubbing. I also ordered the standard top support so now I can pick up my buddies bikes around here without needing the spools. I'm going to charge them though. 
Pit Bull is the way to go. I have used their stands and spools with my last three bikes. I'm sure there are other good ones out there, but I've never come up short with these. The removable handle makes it easier to fit in the back of our SUV. With the handle off, I'm able to stand it up on end and save some floor space.
Yep. That and the bike takes up just a little less space when it's sitting straight up.

Next time uncover it when you take a picture Flicka. I want a peek. Yea I love the removable handle. When I don't remove it I hit it every time I walk behind my bike my size 15 boot kicks it lol. Very nice when it's out.
It's funny as I am in the market for a new front stand for mine. Looking to get a race stand so I can lower my forks back down and such. Reason I'm looking is I had a major oops in the garage with my current front stand (cheapo no name), and needless to say it's costing me more than a new stand 
Anybody a sponser on here for pitbull race stands?

Im going with the abba skylift. $600 but its a bad ass lift. I can use it for cleaning and wrenching.

Bots is a little confused... He's just not recognizing the lines of a Gen II Busa under that cover.

Were you able to get this state-side? I went to their site to check it out and they ship to Europe/UK only, but maybe you had them ship it to you? I went with the Bursig, myself, and it's awesome, but the added height of the Abbastand is pretty sweet!
