Pitbulls seem to be way over built but will likely go with these anyways. Any one use black widow stands. Also do the axle sliders I see for the Buells work as the "spools" for the stands? finally what size pin for the front triple tree stand.

I like my pit bull stands. They are built solid which is nice cause it makes the bike really stable when its up on them. The axle sliders can be used as lifting spools however you won't be able to remove the tire while it is on the stand. I have the "standard" forward handle rear stand and have never had issues getting to it catch, hold, and feel solid, against the small rises on the bottom of the rear swing arm.

No issues with fitting the wider Buell swingarm? I was looking at another brand of stands (redline) and was told they would not fit the Buell swingarm when using the paddles. I'm using a cheapo Harbor Freight stand right now which works once you bend the tubes a little to fit the wider swingarm, I want to get something better.

No issues with the wider swing arm. When adjusted all the way out they have about 3/8" extra clearance on either side of the swing arm.
