I eventually want to spend 25k on a bike that I ride 500 miles a year on and have to wash 5 hours a day to keep all my gawdy chrome clean for my grandkids to see. ---

oh… and speaking of “polishing the chrome” everyday. I don’t see Harley owners arguing over paint colors and dreaming about what color they wished their bike came in. or color matching their plastic parts with their wheels. ---

I know lol, but most harley guys are like corvette guys. I wouldn’t mind a cruiser down the road, just don’t find harleys to have a point, you just buy the name and join a cool club then ---

> [@Motocrossx23](#): > > I know lol, but most harley guys are like corvette guys. > > I wouldn’t mind a cruiser down the road, just don’t find harleys to have a point, you just buy the name and join a cool club then I agree completely. That’s why I owned my Harley for about 3 months. Now I have a British chopper that will have no chrome and never get washed except maybe a hose off every year. ---

> [@maxwell](#): > > To each their own blackout, to each their own. You boy’s started on me… I appreciate sport bikes and respect their riders. I even wave to you assholes even though I rarely get it back. Sport biker’s and everyone else spend too much time knocking each other. We’re all part of one big family. :grouphug: ---

I wave to everyone. It breaks my little heart when people don’t wave back… i feel all dejected and melancholy. ☹ one time, i waved to two cruiser riders, and they waved back… but instead of a traditional wave, they used their middle fingers. ---

I’m assuming they are just easier to operate for basic maintenance. Calm down…but anyways, cant use a ATV jack, cause they lift from the center, and theres fairings that you don’t really want to lift from. ---

They have a rear stand at the store on the blvd. Seems to actually be nicely built. ---

Well I bought it. 39.99 in stock on the blvd location Solid welds, looks reliable, solid black(only color to choose from), Solid 1 piece, no bolts to come loose… The rubber L brackets were the swing arm sits on are kinda flimsy and look real cheap, rated for 1000lbs though. Looks exactly like the Pitbull stands, not as thick though, but almost 1/3 the price can’t be beat. Wouldn’t personally leave my bike on it all winter, but for a quick chain cleaning, oil change, or a rim swap I give it a thumbs up. ---

I’m thinking of buying this for the dirt bike, I’m wondering if I would have to cut and re-weld it to be narrower. Or maybe I can just bend the arms closer together if there isn’t enough adjustment, it seems like there might be.
