No Stands? No Problem!
 

Well it was time to swap the rims for some race rubber that I need to put on. And just like every time I go to do it....Guess what?!! I don't have stands.

Why you ask...well because I can't afford them. So I just use a harley frame stand, sometimes a hydrolic jack for support and a tie strap. And Wallah! You have lift off !!!

Is that ok to have most of the bikes weight on the exhaust like that?

Tom

Exhaust or oil pan................ :wtf:

Actually its mainly the bottom of the rear shock and the edge of the kickstand for that matter, supported by a piece of wood and the metal file.


Yea I need stands.

I feel much better now that I am picking up my pit bull today after work.....

Lucky bas....:ride:

I'm getting the rear for now and down the road I will get a front. and your right. They are some $$. Little by little. I guess..

Which one you getting? The updated forward facing rear stand pitbull makes is pretty cool, saves space.

Hmmmm That garage looks familiar.....

Chris,
I have an older Lockhart rearstand you can just have. I will put it in the trailer for you. Its set up for a lifting from beneath a square section swingarm like yours has. Maybe it can be modified for swingarm spools. Let me know if you want it.

Jerry.........no. :moocow:

Getting some like the set you just sold!! :doh:

Rear - Spooled/swingarm

Front later with multiple pins.

Speaking of which,,. is the pin the same on the front for 2006 R6 and a 2007 R6S ????

The answer is.....maybe. If you want to "try before you buy"
stop by my place, I have almost all of the Pit Bull front stand pins.

R6 (’99 & ‘00) Std. Pin
R6 (’01 to ‘05), R6S (‘06 to ‘07) #8 Pin
R6 (‘06 to ‘07) #8S Pin

You know there's dozens of places on eBay that sell decent front/rear stand sets for less then $100.

Decent yes, PitBull quality...no.
