Daves also has them.

The front stand is a good idea too.

A rear PitBull from DaveS is $115.00 plus shipping. I just bought one from him a couple of months ago. My wife bought me a front PitBull stand for Christmas! SCORE!!

Pit bull, vortex and woodcraft are the best stands on the market.

They are very worthwhile if you use them frequently.

If you don't like spending a ton of cash, but a cheap adjustable rear stand (i did and haven't had a problem yet).

Or, my brother-in-law welded one up for his R6 for less than 20-30$ and it works awesome.

If you want to sink a lot of cash, but a PitBull, they look solid, and perform just as well (friend has one), but if want to save money, buy a cheap stand (i did).

Just have a friend or wife pick up the back end of the bike and hold it for you while you do your work.

I drilled the swingarm just in front of the wheel spindle, and fitted a couple of aftermarket paddock stand bobbins from Valter moto. This way I can use a 'hook' type paddock stand (Champion/Micron etc)that is extremely stable and won't slip on the swingarm, yet still remove the rear wheel when I want to.
Just make sure you drill the holes for the bobbins level (and not through the bit with the oil in!) ;)
