Do you have access to a lathe or know someone who does? I made mine up for about £5

Where did you bolt them on? I could probably get them made. Got any pics?

I used some M8 threaded bar through the centre of the rear axle, I'll try to attach a pic to this, don't hold your breath though I've never tried to post pictures

these badweb sponsors have em:
www.AmericanSportbike.com, www.DarkHorseMoto.com
pro/con opinion exist for each design and what material plastic/metal is best - keep in mind mounting points for swingarm stand if you use one. more power to you guys if you decide to lathe-rig your own!

Those look great, but I was wondering if there was another type, that would permit rear wheel removal.

Or are we stuck with the pad type stand?

Rich, look here :
http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/95125.html
Look for Daves post 'The rear does not use spools so you can remove your rear wheel using them.'.
fyi, recommend you contact sponsors directly, i do not wish to misrepresent their products.., also; try the badweb search engine - very fast!
