Honestly, I've had my harbor freight stand for a good 3 years and have yet to have a problem with it. Then again my bike doesn't have arms to bend it in half....
Nothing he said was practical....
I had a harbor freight stand and it was shit and unstable. I paid alot of money for my zx10r and im not gonna be a cheap ass and risk having it fall over.
I'm sure the companies he is supporting (whether paying him or not) are great, but many cheaper stands are absolutely fine. The ones he bent prove nothing of how well they work as stands, he put stress in a way they just simply will not be stressed in use for what they were designed.
So i notice everyone in this thread says the Harbor Freight stand is fine except the guy who pointed out he has the ZX10R. Which got me wondering, what and how large of bikes do you other folks have? Maybe the Harbor Freight is just sketchy with 1000cc bikes 🤷
Nigel Lane LOL i was thinking the same thing!! 🤣
Time to buy a bigger shirt
It is the holiday season man, what can I say my Wife Marcine is one hell of a cook! - Brian Van
Andrew Lookner true
stephenmwyatt2 lol you need help Stephen
You think you are a tough guy. Nobody wears a shirt like that except a failed thug like yourself.
Are you aware of his background?
I’ve been using reasonably priced stands for years and not once had a problem of a bike being poorly supported or fall. Just take time to adjust them properly and they’ll serve you fine. You don’t need stands that cost hundreds of £’s or $’s.
There are plenty of riders who have used cheaper stands and not had a problem for sure. There are also plenty of stories from riders who learned this lesson the hard way. IMO there are better places to save a few bucks than a set of motorcycle stands. The purpose of this is to show even though they may look similar in the photos they are not all created equal. All riders should do their own research before purchasing so their expectations match the end result. Thanks for sharing your experience. - Brian Van
Why is everyone being so hard with their comments here? He clearly states more than once he is giving his own opinion. Feel free to take the info any way you want and buy what you want, but why all the hate man?? I use a trackside stand and have not had any issues with it, but I have friends who have Pitbulls and they are a better quality....Being said, I guess I need one. And good vid SPTG!! Keep up the good work.
so...should we give a disclaimer that we also are giving our own opinion....like you have given here like everyone else....what say?
Very true....
XXX xxx no you should just start your own channel.
The way you review products is awesome your straight to to the point and 100% honest. Your lever review made me order a top brand ckgs because I had no idea the piece inside was causing the brake to stick, you probably saved my life with that information in that video and I want to thank you so much for that. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had TrackSide stands for my ‘07 R1 front and rear and bike never fell over in the 7 years I had it. However the front stand did seem “sketchy”. Now after using my friends Pit bull stand on my FZ-09 I can tell a huge difference in the quality and will be buying those this time around.
If most riders had the opportunity to compare both stands before they bought I bet most would leave with a Pit Bull or Woodcraft. We are going to keep a few sets of low line stands here for locals to compare if they want to before purchasing. Thanks for sharing your experience. - Brian Van
@@sportbiketrackgearI bet not for $200 for one stand. Way overpriced and USA greed is in full force!! That's why China is getting all of our money.
"I love to support American Companys". Standing in front of Japans finest. Lol kiddding
The Japanese make one hell of a great bike for sure. Pit Bull and Woodcraft both produce some of the finest products in our industry. This is more about investing in a quality product than it is supporting a US company. If the imported stands were better I would not hesitate to say that. Thanks for watching and not making fun of my shirt! - Brian Van
Hey I agree 100% dude. I was just giving you shit. I love the new Yamahas. They are sharp aaannndd I think they are the best looking bike ever made from behind.
There's lots of American supersport bikes to choose from
@@freshfruit23 Examples, please? Not doubting you just wondering any that can compare to the Japanese or European counterparts.
@@solar8600 I was being sarcastic, I don't know of any high volume American motorbike manufacturers.
Brian, thank you so much for being a rider's advocate. Your time is money so thank you for taking the time to make this video.
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
"Hey Jimmy, did you notice? My bike didn't fall down." LOL
I was standing there watching him film this...trust me, that one got an eye-roll haha!
And he even climbed one from the "wrong side" of the bike.
HEY JIMMY! any one else think of kleb? 😂
This video brought to you by pitbull stands....
nike12000 it’s well done though, it’s how sport bike track gear works, they only sell it if they believe in the product. Also if you respect welds or the folks who do it for a living, it well worth knowing the difference. I’m sure there are folks or younger kids out there who don’t know what to look for or didn’t know the quality difference until they saw this.
Ah, the internet where name calling ensues after discussing welds. I apologize that I appreciate sportbiketrackgear and their sales philosophy. Cheers
Jordan Dunham I was replying to the guy who trolled the post not you. We agree.
My mistake! Thank you for the clarification
It's not like he's selling snake oil or testosterone pills. Pitbull is legit and well respected for a reason.
I've had my pitbull stands for over 10yrs. Used them a bunch at home and at the track without fail. They're still going strong!
Great vid STG!
The best in the business. Thanks for watching! - Van
@@sportbiketrackgeardon't forget ridiculously way expensive too. USA greed. Never will I pay $200 for bike stands. Lmao
I love your videos and product selection. I got my Woodcraft stands after watching this video and love them. I’ve had my bike on them for everything from working on the brakes, tire changes, and even washing. Never have I felt like I was taking a risk. Yes, I sit on my bike and even do body position drills with the rear stand. It’s that stable.
Woodcraft makes a great stand for sure. Thanks for watching. - Van
I watched all of your videos and then purchased a Pit Bull SS rear stand this morning for my S1000RR. After watching the video with your son, I almost purchased a Woodcraft, but you stood on the Pit Bull and I was sold. Thanks Man!
Great video as usual. Just wish i saw this before i bought my trackside stand. wasnt trying to save money. It just seemed like a quality stand at the time. Fortunately havent had an issue yet with my trackside stand. Holds my RC51, my baby. Definitely in the market for a Pitbull stand now.
The quality remains long after the price is forgotten, that's served me well BV !
Spot on my brother! - Van
"Buy Once, Cry Once" is my mantra.
I REALLY! REALLY! appreciate this review. I was impressed seeing an honest down to earth reviews about the quality of some of these products being sold. Thanks Brian!!
You are welcome and thanks for watching. - Van
New to this sport, and I found this really informative. Picked up a woodcraft rear stand. And I nearly bought a cheapo off amazon because I was ignorant. Good video!
Happy to help out and enjoy the stand! - Van
Thank you so much. Perfect timing for me. I bought a CBR1000RR after not riding for 25 years. I was confused by all the brands of stands out there and this video was exactly what I needed.
I was an engineer at one of the very best machine tool builders (lathes, machining centers, tooling, etc) in the world. Not only is the design and thickness of components important, the actual material (steel) analysis, heat treatment, welding technique, and many, many other things. This is why all these things are so closely regulated in the aerospace industry. Trust me, the Far East still has a lot to learn about building reliable, durable products.
Buy a quality stand right out of the gate and you will never need to replace it. - Van
Chinese buy, copy, build cheap so idiots grab it and smile.
Great video Brian, now to the important question.
Who do you think would win an arm wrestling competition between you and Anthony from Revzilla?
Great videos you make I must say. You have great enthusiasm and energy so hype, assertive and positively reinforcing to what you say. Tru Detroiter.....Glad to have you around the area brother.
Thank you for that my brother! Go Detroit! - Van
I love what you're doing man!! Riders need to understand why there's a price for quality! Keep it up
Thank you for watching and the kind words! - Van
My bike almost fell today because a cheap stand (gifted from a friend) had a weld fail while lifting the bike. Still in my first season of riding, so thank you for all the great content. I'll definitely be ordering a pitbull in the morning.
Thanks for watching and sorry to hear your bike hit the deck. Buy the good stuff once my friend. - Van
Great PSA on the benefit of quality parts, keep up these videos. I'd like to see a comparison of cheap rear sets.
We will have a rearset comparison in the next few weeks. - Van
I've watched this three times now, and it just never gets old. Great stuff.
Thanks for watching! - Van
Going to order my stands from y’all after work today! Thanks for the video
You are welcome for the video and thank you for your business! - Van
Your test is meaningless, you are putting forces where they don’t matter just to brake the handle of the stand... you can brake a brick by gently knocking it in half but you can also use it to stack it neatly 20 storeys high. And that my friend is good analogy here ;) I have the second stand that you broke. My bike is 230kg and I’ve been sitting on it and jumping around and it’s all fine
Stability is the biggest issue, we have a follow up video going up today covering this. If the bike wobbles on the stand it is junk IMO. I have used stands from most brands at this point and have more real world experience to support this than any other motorcycle stand video on CZcams. - Brian Van
@@sportbiketrackgear it takes a special kind of person to sit and wobble around on a stand lol
Break*
Your analogy is horrific in your own argument. You're stacking. And uhh, your stand is a piece of shit.
@@sportbiketrackgear if the ground is not level your stand will wobble or flex no matter whose name is on it fact a shit stand on good ground is better than a good stand on shit ground
I'm a good tig welder in food industry. I have to say I was really impressed they tig welded there pitbull stands. Tig welding takes time. Most companies are into getting things out asap. The welds on my pit bull stand is top notch. Almost as good as me😉
Thanks for taking the time to post this. Most people have no clue what it takes to produce quality stuff like this. - Van
Awesome reviews. After finding your site (and watching your videos) I only order my gear from STG now. Only guy or site I trust for honest gear reviews.
Thank you for the kind words and your business! - Van
Brian How did that work out with the removal of ABS on the R1 ?
I have the exact same bike and ' I think ' stock ABS does not allow you to apply as much force to that rear brake as I sometimes would like to apply. So what do you think Yes or No ? Should I leave it alone ?
Damn... that video makes this all clear as day. I have to be honest, I have had the shit stands for ages and never thought about it.
I cant afford a new bike so thanks for this man. Most appreciated
Lets just say I worked as a ASM at a place that rhymes with CycleFear witch is the box store affiliate of a place that rhymes with ZedZilla. Well that box store sold 90% garbage all at marked up prices then had "Sales" to make people feel like they were getting a good deal. They sold Trackside stands & with my discount I couldn't pass one up. While the quality doesn't even come close to Pitbull its been working fine for my occasional use. When I replace it and or buy new gear I'll definitely be placing my order through STG. I've ordered from you guys in the past & You guys rock and are honest and straight forward unlike other companies I know of!
So happy i found this video. Ordered my h2 for feb 2018....im thinking ill take your advice and look at both options from woodcraft and pitbull....thanks again. I don't ever want to see my h2 on the ground. Thanks again.
This guy is so intense it’s hilarious... this guy could prob beat you to death with your own arms... 😂😂
This is total bull shit.. I mean how can i look at the quality of those stands when that bad ass bike is behind you.
well said my brother! Bike will be for sale in the next couple weeks. - Van
Sportbike Track Gear Nooo that bike is too nice
Funny watching this. My R1 fell off of my Lockhart Phillips stands yesterday while I was trying to mock up the race bodywork (twice). Pissed. Time to invest in some new stands.
great, fair review that matches my experience. I own Pitbull and Trackside, so I have lots of experience with both
lol I've been there with that exact same Harbor Freight silver stand. It never fully broke but it wobbled and began to bend. Night and day difference with a good product.
I really believe that most riders just have not had experience with both so they do not fully appreciate the value in the higher quality stand. Buy a good one and you never need to replace it. - Van
I have under 1000km of riding under my belt and am a very new owner of a
motorcycle and right out of the gate I can appreciate the severity of buying a more expensive quality stand. Not saying pit bull is the only quality stand builder out there, but I wouldn’t go any less than their standard when it comes to propping my baby off the ground. Thanks for the video and ride safe.
I have been wanting to buy a rear stand for my Busa. After watching this video I ended up buying an SS Pit Bull rear stand. Just like the saying says you get what you pay for. The quality on the Pit Bull stand is second to none. Thanks for putting out this video.
You are welcome and thank you for taking the time to share your experience. - Van
I just purchased my pit pull for my 21 honda cbr1000rr im very very happy cant go cheap on that stuff bro. Thank you for this video.
Buy the good stuff and you only buy it one time. - Van
I have stand I bought from an individual. It lifts my bike but the spool adapters are missing it just has angle swing arm frame mounts so it lifts closer forward than the spools. Witch makes it difficult getting the bike on the stand and I have to get help to safely get my heavy 545 lb wet weight Kawasaki ZRX1200R off the stand. I don’t know what brand , no name on it but it definitely doesn’t look as strong as a Pit Bull and feels unsafe without the spool adapters. Is it easy to lift a heavy bike on and off a pit bull stand by oneself ?
Yes the Pit Bull will be more stable with a big bike like the ZRX1200. If your bike can be fitted with spools that is the best option so you should install them on the bike. Pit Bull has a stand specifically designed for the ZRX, here is a link to it on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/pit-bull-hayabusa-zx-14r-and-zrx-rear-stand/
It all depends on how you use the stands. If they’re simply for storage, then cheap ones may do the job. If you’re using them to do work on your bike and using them at the track, then you’re better off buying quality stands like Pit Bull or Wodcraft (I only buy Pit Bull).
8 years using those cheapass motogp stands to do all kind of work on the bike, 10 trackdays a year ... They aren't sketchy at all.
Only if the bike and stands are on quite sidewards tilted ground, but still...
Pitbull and such... Just buy it if you really want to loose cash, show off or just don't dear to use anything less
Haha so good! Really appreciate you guys.
Bri Guy kul
Excellent presentation! I have four PitBull stands and PitBull trailer restraint system, and all of the stuff is absolutely top notch.
Thank you for watching, Pit Bull is a Brand we believe in and are very proud to offer here at STG. - Brian Van
Again, awsome advice my man !! I gotta go check my stand now !!
I’m surprised this guy can breathe with that small shirt.
Between the skateboarding shoes, affliction jeans, and button-splitting small shirt, I bet this guy is a real hoot to hangout with...
Shirt fits a little tighter in the winter man. I wear what I want to wear and have no concern for what other people have to say about it. - Van
I want to see this guys gym workout complete animal.
I made my own! It is nice when you have friends with a welder and bender.
I used to buy cheap stands and then rig my bike up to the rafters with tie downs because my lack of trust with those stands. Great vid.
Lmao, you know they make adult shirts right..
So I'm a little fat man...
No your a poser and yamahas suck
@@kennethhughes3275 Dude's the real deal and Yamahas def don't suck.
@@kennethhughes3275 you're* dummy
enjoyed the video. subbed. I'll definitely be getting some quality stands for my bike when I get one.
Thanks for watching! - Van
You know what my favorite part of these videos is? It's not just where van wrecks the stands, it's the thumbnail for this lol
I spent 2 hours making this thumbnail and laid my bike down (very gently with a moving blanket under it). Thanks for watching! - Brian Van
I learned the hard way. Put my brand new bike on a Harbor Freight stand and scratched the hell out of the swingarm, bike has 40 miles on it. Stand cost me $30. I ordered a Pitbull that night. Lesson learned the hard way.
This is what I am trying to save other riders from. There are so many negative comments in this video I wouldn't be surprised if I get my butt kicked at the MotoGP in Austin this weekend. Maybe I should wear a disguise??? - Van
was it the stand's fault or your own? I've seen many people blaming the gear, when it was them using it wrongly
not saying it wasnt, cause I wasnt there, just asking and pointing out to others
cheers
I have 8 pit bull stands as of today! One of them is 11 years old. Still looks new!
Over the years I have seen very few issues with Pit Bull products. So few you could damn near call it no issues. I bought my first Pit Bull stand in 2002 from them directly before I started STG. Pretty sure that was the stand I gave to Jimmy's roommate to replace his junk stand I tore up in the video. - Brian Van
I Like your style and videos keep it up bro! Also I have had a great experience with your website !
Thank you for the business, it is appreciated my brother. - Brian Van
I have a 750 pound cruiser up on pit bull stands for the winter. I have no worries sitting on the bike while on the stands. It's rock solid
They are the best built bike stands on the market for sure. - Van
Not everyone owns a sportbike shop and has access to any "high dollar" name brand accessories at hand. Some , or most, people live within their means and buy what they can afford.
What do you think about the vortex or the driven front head lift stands? Are those reliable options?
Pitt bull stands are definitely great but honestly they're not affordable to everyone and the fact that they nickel and dime for every little feature like axle holders, caliper holder and even the pin to lift the triple tree! despite the already high starting price is very discouraging honestly.
The Driven and Vortex are only ok to be honest. With the Pit Bull or the Woodcraft you will only need to buy it once and will love the way it works. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear got it. Appreciate the information!
Hello, I have a question that you can hopefully help me with. So I have MZS Spools on Yamaha R6 and I just bought a cheap Harbor Freight and it doesn't fit that size. For the Pitbull will it fit the MZS Spools?
I am not familiar with the MZS spools. That said I do have some experience with their levers which are complete shit and have caused several riders front brakes to lock. Given that I would not install anything produced by MZS on a bike I actually liked. - Van
was at a new bike shop in my area..
thought of giving them some business..
just an oil change..
they took time to check my chain slack and brake pads/fluid..
but what made me their return customer was when a hayabusa came in
the owner went to get an Oxford stand from local retailer
he knew cheap ones cant take the weight
willing to fork out money for us customers
thats a mark of a great owner.
I watched a 14 minute Ad
This is good advice coming from someone who knows what the fuck they are talking about. You're welcome! - Brian Van
Alright, I need more videos of you breaking cheap motorcycle accessories and tools lol.
No problem, stay tuned more to come for sure. - Van
This video helped confirm my decision to purchase a pitbull stand. Thanks guys
So I got a trackside rear and front stand, and well the rear stand works but I cannot for the life of me get the front stand to work, every time I try it the wheel slips off when lifting. I think its because the right side of the stand wasn't level with the left side... so Im gonna go return it and get a pit bull front stand...
What stand for rear tire should I get for my R3? I got a cheap stand for my honda monkey, but I think it is bent now.
Go with either the Woodcraft or Pit Bull spooled rear stands. These are both excellent and you will have them forever. When you get a new bike you just use the same stand. - Van
I have one of those Track Side stands, and it's not all bad. It works great for storing or wrenching on my superlight sport bikes (Cagiva Mito, Aprilia RS125, Suzuki RG125) but I wouldn't use it to hold up any of my big bikes. Pitbull all the way.
Hey thanks for the gym ideas man, now I know I can use my china stand for chest flyes and single arm rows, haha.
Can't think of a better use for them. - Van
May I ask, I'm new to motorcycle paddock stand.. I feel there's a lot of pressure on front wheel pushing it down while on rear paddock stand which never happens on conventional main/center stand. Are paddock stands generally safe for the suspensions and tires for storing the bike, like I'm just using the bike once or twice a week. thank you guys
Yes it is safe to use a stand to store the bike and while performing maintenance on it. That said we do recommend using the best stands you can afford as they offer more strength and stability than the cheap ones will. - Van
hey van, stand related question about the r1 there, i have a standard for stand but i see that on the left fork bottom there is a little sensor, does this mean you have to have a headlift stand for the 15 and on r1?
No you do not, Pit Bull offers a ABS Friendly Swivel for their fork lift front stand. Below are links to the stand and swivel:

awesome thanks man, all the stg r1 project bike videos are going to be so helpful, already have the ftec ecu tuner and the graves 3/4 system for my R1S
Watching this video as my Triump sits on that Trackside stand in the garage haha...great. Hope I can sleep...
I have the trackside rear stand. No issues at all. My bikes are light though, Grom and Z400
I've got 8 pairs of stands from Pit-Bull. Had most of them for over 12-15 years and they work and look just as good as day one. Pay a little more; get value.
You are a smart man for sure. - Van
8pairs? you must have lot of bikes
I have a pitbull rear. The pitbull front triple stands were sold out. Is T Rex an alright brand? Thanks in advance.
I would order the front stand now and wait. If we don't have it here now it will be a week or so. Worth the wait, especially if you have the Pit Bull rear. - Van
Thank you for making great informative videos! Love them.
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
He ain't wrong. The pitbull stuff is just miles ahead of less expensive stands in terms of quality and strength. You buy a pitbull stand you're never going to have to replace it if you're using it for it's intended purpose. and it's going to have no problems supporting any bike on the market. You can put a bike up on a pitbull stand and then sit on the bike, and you'll feel completely stable. I tried sitting on my 675 while it was up on a HF equivalent stand and it didn't feel secure at all getting up on the bike. After I got off I could see that one of the pipes had flexed.
I haven't owned any woodcraft stands, but if their stands are like they crash protection products, they're also going to be excellent.
Trackside works fine no bike of mine has fallen over
Im a big fan of stg. But I Agreed I have the same trackside rear, as well as the trackside fork lift and head lift. The fork lift is honestly a little sketchy. The head stand is 100% safe and fine. Notice the only one he tries to bend are $100+ stand vs a $ harbor freight stand. I can't bent my trackside stands with any reasonable amount of force, that includes standing on it while its on its side. Ill give you alot of the fork lift stands are sketchy, some better than others. But by the logic of this video, bike stands should be made out of 3" solid steal bar. That way if you try to use is as a shackle between two trucks doing a tug of war, your bike won't fall over? 🤷♂️ lol. Seems like alot over unnecessary energy and flexing in a tight shirt going on here.. "watch me bend 10ga aluminum in a direction it wasn't ment to be stressed!!"
My trackside stands are approaching 8 years old. I'm confident enough to sit on the bike with stands in place and I weight 200lb. Could they have been built stronger? Sure, but that comes at a cost. Like Van said he's no engineer so he's bending the stands at a direction that the stands would never go. If I plan on using stands sideways I will buy pitbull stands.
Same. No issues with trackside rear stand and it's a good value at $60, especially if you move/sell later
Great, informative video, with an odd flex or two on the side. 10/10 My bike is glad I watched this
Thanks for watching! - Van
first thing first man you are super strong and about stand I don't have a motorcycle so i am cool
and your colour changed white to red at 10:49
Yea dude... Bending stands like a pro :)
I have the 39.99 harbor freight garbage stand... It's awesome and works great... My r1 is safe and secure on it... Id feel like a sucker if I spent 4x as much on the same overpriced pitbull stand... This guy needs to chill...I thought he was gonna have a coronary.....I like his shirt too.... My 5 year old wears the same size...
You would have felt like a sucker for paying a fair price for a top quality product that out performs the one you have and will last forever? Harbor freight motorcycle stands are complete garbage, buying that makes you look like more of a sucker than buying a Pit Bull. - Brian Van
@@sportbiketrackgear don't get shirty buy british better quality than the shit your using the sucker who buys for the sake of a name 100$ plus is a moron
Good troll comment 😂
Great review and opinions! Do you ha e a video putting on the rear stand?
Thanks for watching, here is a link to the Pit Bull rear stand video: czcams.com/video/EJ3fO_xEb2s/video.html - Van
I did not realize before that if a motorcycle fell from a high-priced stand would not be damaged. And motorcycles do not like cheap stands, and love falling from them...!!this is very important information we learned from you🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
If you try to lift your kick ass bike with a set of cheap stands you better be ready to catch it when it jumps off! If you have a nice bike, buy a nice set of stands. - Van
I have a 15 year old Pitbull Rear Stand--Still works just like the day I got it. Can't say that about many products (ok, maybe my firearms).
unless you want to do suspension work - Watch this video of the $89 dollar Harbor Freight jack, the one that allows front and rear suspension work - czcams.com/video/2PPgWa4BcjU/video.html
Pitbull must have paid you well man. Lol
Zero compensation for this or any other Pit Bull related video we have done over the years. Bottom line is their products are the benchmark in our industry. Anyone who owns one knows this to be accurate. - Van
Yeah, even if he is being compensated the info is accurate
@@chauboii yet my 50 dollar stand has never failed for years. LOL just don't be a fucking asshole with ur bike when it's on a stand. Mind you my bike weighs barely 400 lbs
@@bobfrankfurt9449 Well I own a pitbull stand and this thing will never fail. Iwoudn't trust my $19,000 BMW to a $50 stand. If you can afford quality then why wouldn't you buy it.
@@TheBeagleBrigade I get it, but like I said I don't play around much with the bike when it's on the stand. It holds it perfectly fine being a smaller bike (2019 MT-09). I would also recommend getting the Pitbull IF you can afford it. Some can't.
Once again great video!! Everything that I want to know about a motorcycle stands but was afraid to ask. Lolo! With the information in hand, I think I will purchase the pit bull stands!!
Newer rider, got a fleabay stand so i could learn how to change and adjust my chain. Time to upgrade thank you sportbiketrackgear
You get what you pay for, sometimes it’s just a name but quality is worth the premium.
Love the Videos
Thank You! - Van
How do you feel about dynomoto stands? I have a set and they have worked fine and you can roll your bike around garage effortlessly.
I have seen them on the internet but not in person so I can not comment. - Van
I've only just found you, and what a fuckin relief to find someone with common sense. I've worked as a Design and Development Engineer for quite sometime, and i promise you companies don't spend £100,000,000 on developing their products for nothing, unfortunately this does put the top line up, but you have just proved why.i don't race any more, and i had to sell my old British and kickstart only bikes due to illness, but happily for me I can ride some of my later bikes (electric start). I had exactly the problem you envisaged in your senario. I had a good collection 19, and i wanted all matching paddock stands, and i looked and looked, their were real expensive ones, or affordable ones that were shite, so I built my own. I went to a scrap yard, and bought all the thick angle iron they had, measured twice, cut once, welded them up, and they are still going strong well into their 2nd decade. The amount of people that have tried to borrow (???) them is rediculess.
I love my Bursig Stands=)
First time watching this guys video and last , to negative and he’s trying to push product so hard
Sal Ruiz I’m just saying I’m not putting a 30k bike on a 60 stand. Just for 90 more it’s not breaking the bank
Brotha hes being honest. Honesty is the best policy when it comes to a 17000$ bike on stand you want that shit to last and not fall and scrape.
Bro his videos are the real deal. Hes just letting you know the difference in the stands and in his opinion. He has the best videos on gear too. Does he promote the stuff he sells, yes he does but he only sells a few brands and its because he has chosen what he thinks is the best for riders. He has a store he could have everything brand but he doesnt. He does however find the best of the best for people who are on a cheap budget. His sense of humor is dry sometimes but he was having fun. Look at some gear vids. You will change your mind
This is the first time I’m watching this guy’s videos...and definitely not the last.
What are your thoughts on the stands from GPI Industries? They are also made in the US with a lifetime warranty.
They missed a weld on my stand, they sent me a new one right away, excellent people and product!! The owner actually emailed me to make sure all was good!! Their track suit hangers are the Best!!!!
you need a bigger shirt
or lose a couple pounds. - Van
dude that 50 dollar Chinese stand is plenty good for the value.
lol how good is a stand if you can`t rely on supporting your $20K+ bike on it??
If you had to choose, woodcraft or bulldog? Also does the front stand allow the removal of the front tire on all bikes? You convinced me so Im buying!
Pit Bull and Woodcraft are the best. We use a ton of Pit Bull product to support our MotoAmerica efforts. Trailer restraints, wheel chocks, hybrid tie downs, stand / restraint transport and of course stands. - Van
5 mins in and I smashed the sub button thanks for the info!
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Making motorcycle stands great again!
Just kind of wanted to add.... PitBull And WoodCraft best hands down! don't cheap out on spools! They break bike falls as well!
Good call! - Van
New to all of this just got Yamaha yzf125 2017, would you say I need a stand or not because it's a smaller bike ?
Must be a Euro model bike. This video is really focused on sportbikes that you could be ridden on both the street and race track.
Sportbike Track Gear ah so you saying wait for a bigger bike ?
I didn't think there was so much to learn here but I stand corrected. I'll pay more attention next time.
Somebody get Brian a bigger shirt. :D
razorbackblood06 lol
I learned my lesson with Harbor Freight stands. lol However, I'm too cheap for Pitbull stands, but the ones I have now are great, have had them for years.
Hey cycle cruza love you
Godless commie!
