Looks like the one I had from harbor freight. It worked fine. But cheap I have a set of trex now and would never use a cheap one again.

I heard NO on those years ago. That could fold right over sideways. You don't need to go all the way to Pit Bull but if you do, you'll never be sorry. Those will hold anything. I've had three PB stands for ten years. Just bought a PB trailer restraint and I'm very happy with it.
Also I like the Heindl engineering swingarm pivot stand I own. There Is an Abba stand similar to it and I think that would be slightly superior.
The Abba Skylift is the ultimate. There is a similar stand made by a different company that does not have the hydraulic lift of the Skylift but will lift the whole bike off the ground a few inches. Requires a bracket to be bolted onto the bike.

I used to have one of these and it really did work fine and was stable. The peeps above are correct in that it is def not an art piece tho. If I only had funds for this, I would do it again. Having said that, Cycle gear has a decent inexpensive one that goes on sale regularly that is only a bit more, but worlds better. Its only downfall that I have noticed is that it comes close to the rear tire at the end of its travel and u could pinch ur hand is lowering back quickly.

I have a set of venom stands off Amazon that were fairly priced and have held the bike fine for what they are. I believe it was @fallenarch that posted a pic of his pitbull with some kind ramp attachment fir installing the rear tire. Also like the idea of the stem lift, with that said I wish id just bought the pitbull the first time since I do all my own wrenching.
I have the Venoms as well and they work fine...you can build a wedge out of wood to help install the rear tire...I plan to in the near future.
They look exactly like my Venoms only mine are in the fast color.

Correct....That would be black
Mine work like they should, stable and durable.
