Just bought a Vortex rear stand

I was looking for a nice rear stand that was silver or black so i end up getting the vortex Bad idea it sucks A few months ago i borrowed the one made by LP Its was 20 times better. Only reason i didnt buy the LP one is cause i couldnt find a shop that carried or sold it Vortex Stands Suck

what is the reason you say they suck? seems pretty good to me.

It's an art that takes a little getting used to; but once you get the hang of it, it's second nature..Hold the bike up straight with your left hip against the tail...

OH.................. yes that does suck.i have the LP stand myself, but its the universal 3 piece stand. you can adjusted to fit any bike. i want to get the part so i could us the spools. right now it has the plate bracket that holds the bike from the bottom of the swingarm. i do like the fact that i can lift the bike up from the kickstand. try to sell it then im sure it will sell fast

i have had handy, LP, and pitbull, now i have the VORTEX and it is every bit as good as a pitbull, but better because it is lighter. it also has "pods" mounted on the end to place your axles in so they don't pick up dirt and crap while changing a wheel. best stands i have owned.

I just got the vortex stand and it kicks azz! I dont know why you think its bad, I really dont mind holding it up to put on the spools. Anyways, the vortex rear stand has 4 wheels and the stand looks very very strong, nice thick bars, easy to adjust. Better then the cheaper ones that look like you can break in half.. cant complain here..

Better then the cheaper ones that look like you can break in half.. cant complain here.. I agree! The Vortex is very well-made - it will last a life-time. I have the Baxley chock up front so there is never any risk when engaging the rear stand - other than scratching the swingarm - which is not even an issue since I wrapped the cradles with electrical tape to pad them. I highly recommend the Vortex stands AND the Baxley.

well I say they suck cause my bike fell off of it twice but it didn't get damage cause it is close to the wall and it just leaned on the wall. My stand for some reason is wobbly and the floor in my garage is flat.

The bike fell?! Do you have the Vortex stand pictured above? Unreal! Are you using the padded bushings or do you have swingarm spools? I DO NOT recommend using the bushings! Ya gotta get the spools bro. No bike is safe on any stand unless you have them.
