For you bikers on here that don’t frequent [sportriders.org](http://sportriders.org)
HF Rear stand for 40$
Front stand adapter for 10$
The reviews i’ve read seem to reflect decent quality, and damn that price can’t be beat. I’m looking to pick one up soon. :tup:

That was my main concern when looking at them. I did some research and it seems as if they are decent. Next time I am near an HF I will stop in and take a look. $40 is hard to beat :tup:

That stand seems to be quite a bit beefier. A set of t-rex stands can be had for around 120, and have been around longer and I know from experience that they work well and are very solid

i never had any problems with it fwiw. you can buy the front triple tree paddock stand from trex on ebay for 105$. I might grab that one and the second aluminum HF rear stand. save $10 or so from the trex set.

lol, thats because you’re gentle with your bike when its lifted in the air, when the fork holders are inverted it hold ups just fine (for cleaning) but you cant remove the axels when they are upside down…
the harbor freight ones are locked in the upright position so i dont think that it would be a problem though.

Haven’t even had a chance to look at any… what do you mean by update anyway?
Just go to HF and see how they look…LOL
I live about 45 minutes away from one so it’s hard for me to get there.
