If you TIG weld in about a 1 inch long slug of 1 1/2" tubing to one side of the lower section. The PitBull stand has keys and slots that keep the vertical fingers aligned on the spool type stands. Turning the brackets around on the stand wouldn't work, as they would interfere with the bottom of the swingarm. I don't trust the flat bottom stand that the swing arm rests on with the engine running on an XB due to the vibrations.   Captnemo Posted on Wednesday, February 21, 2007 - 10:32 pm:        View from the side   Buellgirlie Posted on Wednesday, February 21, 2007 - 10:36 pm:        nice work! pit bulls are great stands D   Captnemo Posted on Wednesday, February 21, 2007 - 11:02 pm:        And, it still works on the Kawi by moving the brackets inwards a little. This is going to make maintenance a bunch easier and cut down on the #@$%*! factor on installing the Micron exhaust this weekend.   Rich Posted on Thursday, February 22, 2007 - 07:34 am:        I just took a porta-power to mine, spread it a little. I don't use the spools though, I probably would've had to spread it too far.   Fravel Posted on Thursday, February 22, 2007 - 10:36 am:        Mine worked fine straight out of the box. Fits up to my Dark Horse sliders without any modifications. I'm not sure why you guys had to make mods, unless you had a norrower version of the stand.   Dylanfan53 Posted on Sunday, February 25, 2007 - 11:36 pm:        Pit Bull makes a correct size for the Buell swingarm also.   Delk Posted on Monday, February 26, 2007 - 08:03 am:        Eric...I'm looking to get set of Pitbull stands for my new XB12Ss. Which part number is the correct size for the Buell swingarm? Thanks so much for any help. - Delk   Fravel Posted on Monday, February 26, 2007 - 08:16 am:        Delk, I ordered mine through Daves, he's no longer at Appleton, so you will need to get ahold of Andy.

I just found that out last week. The best ones for our bikes are probably the SS The SS Rear Stand can be used as a Standard or Spooled Rear Stand by flipping the top supports over. It is width adjustable to fit virtually all sport bikes. And the standard (this is the one I use cause I don't have spools) The Standard Rear Stand lifts non-spool equipped bikes by supporting the swingarm with rubber pads. It is width adjustable to fit virtually all sport bikes.   Delk Posted on Monday, February 26, 2007 - 08:40 am:        Thanks for the info guys...most appreciated. - Delk   Rich Posted on Monday, February 26, 2007 - 08:56 am:        "Pit Bull makes a correct size for the Buell swingarm also." Yep, but I bought mine used, before I had my XB. I adjusted it.   Captnemo Posted on Monday, February 26, 2007 - 09:13 am:        I got this stand with my Z1000, so I don't know the story on its age, model, etc. I do know that it works now ! They got a good workout this weekend putting the micron & all the other goodies on...
