From the site: "Introducing a rearstand that's so extraordinarily easy to use, even a twelve-year-old can do it!"




"Not...cool!"

Hey, if that motocorsa ducati and lotus dealer off of canyon sells them, they can't be that bad of quality!

No, that was a play on the Geico commercial. "So easy, even a caveman could do it." Aw shoots, forget it.

Hell yes I do. It's sitting in my driveway getting poured on. Why, what's up?

By the way, take it to PM if you want your thread to stay intact.

thats a nice stand but you can do that (lifting bike without balancing it) with any stand.

Really? Everybody tells me that you do.

[pantablo]

with bike on side stand hook the left side of the stand on the spool. push it down enough to just lift the bike up and slowly let it settle on the right side spool. then push it down farther to get the bike up. Its not hard to do, but neither is just balancing the bike.

here's the normal way to do it by balancing the bike-easy:

The cyclecat is a great stand handsdown, but it cost about $70 bucks more than a regular rear stand. 

I got the pittbull rear stand and some rear spools / sliders.  The bolt hole on your gsxr is 8mm you can get them from lockheart phillips for about $20 to $25.  Or if you want something better get the wholeset from here http://www.motovationusa.com/

Getting a bike on the rear stand is nerve wracking the first couple of  times but after awhile it's very easy. 

I would go with either  the pitbull or the cyclecat.  I have heard some real bad things about some of the other cycle stands available.

I bought some shogun spools, now I just need to get some sliders, front and rear stands.

[blue05twin]

shogun's are nice, but from what I read I thought I'd go with the motovationusa's.  Are you going with no-cut or cut frame sliders?

I'm not sure...probably the no-cut, I hear a lot of people saying that they have gone down with the no-cuts and they hold up great. But they are quite a bit more money. The shoguns seem to be more money than the motovationusa brand. I almost bought the motovation spools but I was already on the checkout for the shoguns, and they were a little cheaper anyway. The only thing I'm not sure about is that motovation says they have a metal insert in theirs, I'm not sure if shogun does or not (for the spools that is). It's weird that shogun spools are cheaper than motovation's, but it's opposite with the frame sliders. I can't decide if I want to go with those race railz ($150 free shipping) or the motovation sliders ($110 plus shipping I think).

[porsche4786]

I wonder if these are easier to use....

I think  that's the pitbull stand I have at the house, I'll check when I get home tonight, just got it about a month ago.  Love the thing really easy to use, I just support the bike with my left hand and push down on the stand with my right hand.

Yeah the reason I wanted  to go with the no-cuts is because of the frame bolt on the left side getting stripped out from removing the plastics all the time.  Figure with the no cuts just install it once and boom your done, don't have to remove the frame slider everytime you have to remove the leftside plastics.
