I put this in the dealer section and nobody looked,so here it is!
HD/Buell Cycle Center has just become a dealer for Pit Bull bike stands. If you need some stands get in touch with me. I'll be placing the first order on Tuesday.

I have used these stands at the track and in the garage and they are top quality.

BBS discount will apply!!!!

Would make a great Xmas gift(OK that's a little over the top but true)

Ride to the Edge!

Hey Dan! How ya been? You ever going to make it back to Iowa or are we going to have to come to Texas?
I can sell rear stands for Buells(no spools) for 117.00 that includes the supports. Shipping will probably run 10-15 bucks. I haven't shipped any yet so I'm not sure.

The front stand with pin for your bike will run you $135.00

Dave, where the hell were you three weeks ago when I purchased a standard front stand from local crotch-rocket shop in Chicago for $170??? I even tried to haggle with the guy to no avail!

I like your prices. I also like Pit Bull products. So you got two good things going for your latest venture. Best of luck.

If you have any questions about those stands give me a holler I used to sell em when I worked at a "Local Crotch-rocket shop" as Fly so eloquently put it.

DaveS: That Rocks! I'll likely be calling you after Xmas spending is done. The Pit Bull rear stand is nice but their front stands are w/o question better than anything else out there.

I got the Pitbull rear stand that adjusts(width) a few years ago and it's really a great unit,real sturdy and can be used on other bikes too.

Got a call today wondering if I could get stands for all brands or just for Buells. I have lots of stuff available for ALL brands of bikes. Just wanted to clear that up.

They are high quality/well crafted stands. I got mine last year from Santa.

Dave - looking at the Pit Bull website - in the customer's bikes section - it looks like Tat Marcy is using a front/rear stand in one photo, and a rear/rear stand in the other photo. Does anybody know what the pros and cons are? Also is shipping better if I order both at the same time? 1996 S1. I'm in California for reference.

Socal,
Not following what you mean by the rear/rear stand?
Yes the shipping is less if we can ship both stands at once, they don't weigh much but are bulky to ship.
To lift both ends of the bike I would recommend a front and a rear stand. Call me anytime!

Darnit again! Dunno why I'm botching the image commands but anyways that's what I'm talking about. Looks like he's using 2 rear stands in the first picture.

It sure does! I still think the front stand that goes into the neck bolt would work better.

Pitbull has an adapter that converts the rear stand to a front stand. A bargain if you don't want to buy separate stands.

Ahh . . guess I should have dug into the site a little deeper - I think this is what Tat is using in that picture:

frontforklift

X1glider - the rear to front converter uses the steering stem lifting point like the newfront stand.

Yes it does. It's more stable. Just like swingarm buttons are more stable than without.

The kind in the pic above is not very stable for removing the wheel and other work around the area. More susceptible to tipovers. Plus it's in the way when wrenching on the axle.

Yeah plus it's another half a bill to be able to have both lifting options.

>>Pitbull has an adapter that converts the rear stand to a front stand<<
I saw that too and it looks like a great idea but don't all the manuals say not to use the front stand w/o the rear stand? If your rear stand is now your front stand... you're kind of hosed.

The guys at the track don't have a problem with front stands only when pulling the wheel. But they use the one where the pin fits in the steerer. The one that goes under the axle is the unstable one.
