So after a long search for bike stands, and many calls to people about the quality of their stands and why I should buy from them, I decided to buy Redline Stands. I got both the front fork stands (with the pins that go inside the bottom of the forks) and the rear spool stand. Ian was a major factor as to why I decided on these, as I called him three times before buying them and he answered my questions with an un-biased opinion. I ordered the stands on friday and got them within 5 business days.
Upon getting them, I decided to open the box right away and inspect. I'm a very picky person when it comes to my bike (which is why it's taken me so long to modify anything because I can't decide
), so my expectations were that I would find something I didn't like...but no, they were GREAT. The build quality is fantastic and other than the color and the shape of the upper portion, they are exactly like my friends pitbull stands. The biggest difference is that he paid over 2x's what I did for his stands.
I went out in the garage and put the spools from redline in my swingarm and lifted up the rear, then went around and did the front.....that was when I became even more impressed...there is ZERO, no play in my bike at all...it's more solid than if it was on the ground. Even my gf, who knows nothing about bikes, said that it was really "sturdy".
I highly recommend these to anyone, not only for the build quality and price, but also because Ian was really helpful and seems to be a stand up guy, which is hard to come by in today's world.
Here are some pics of the purchase:
