I have Handy stands and they are great for the price. I paid $99 for front and rear stands. They're pretty sturdy, I've never had a problem.

pitbull and powerstands are probably the best around (also probably the most expensive, buy hey quality costs money!)
I would get the pitbull SS rear stands, actually that's what I have. They have the reversable thingies on them so you can use them with or without spools.

Another vote for PitBull here. Second the SS rear. For a front, I'd get the one that lifts from the triple, in case you ever need to remove your forks.

I got them too, great stands which you can get off ebay. $100 for the pair and they are just as good.

I have Powerstands all the way around as well as some cheap ass no names for the track bike. I am very happy with my Powerstands but next time around I will pick up the Pitbulls

I have the lockhart phillips rear and i love it. The only problem is I have a Handy rear stand and it sucks balls. I def need a new front stand.

everyone will have different opinions with different stands..trial and error on which ones you personally like..yes we know pittbull is the best...but if price is your issue try the handy stands..

The Handy's are good if you hardly ever use them. If you use stands and actually do work and setup on a bike, go with PitBull.

PitBull also makes a forward handle rear stand...great space saver and easier to use for those who have issues balancing the bike by themselves.
