Stands

[cmc8]

looking for front and rear stands. i have never bought them before just looking for some suggestions. the former owner had one and he left the little mounts (nubs) for lack of the correct term on the rear of the bike. but i did not get the stand or the brand of stand it was. any help would be great.

had my bike on handys all winter multiple seasons long. Great stands for a great price.

Did you guys get the rubber pads or the bobbin supports?

 

[fstbusa]

I started with pads and didn't like the way they operated so I bought the bobbin adapters

Handy(s) work extremely well as do PitBulls. I have a set of each (1 for each bike) and have no problems with either one. If cost is an issue go with the Handys, if not you will be very happy with the PitBulls.

I'm a cheap-skate so I built my own!

nice job building your own it looks sweet.

The "little Nubbs" are called "Spools" I highly recommend Pit Bull Brand Stands for the Busa. You'll spend anywhere from $30 to $180 more for the set depending on what you are comparing them to. The busa is not a light weight machine and there have been cases of stands collapsing under the weight. results were not pretty. Just remember that whatever you buy ALWAYS lift the rear first and lower rear last. it doesn't work very well any other way
