I need two stands to replace my sprockets and pull a fork off and rebuild that as well, these stands are cheap and I was going to buy the front and rear set, but I don't like that universal word. I don't have the $ for pitbull stands so don't suggest that but what do you think of these? (I'm planning on anchoring the bike from the handlebars when it's up)
Is there another brand/site you would recommend?
I figure anything is better than putting a 2X4 on my car jack and sliding it under the swingarm!

I have an 03 GSX-R
sadly I can't think of wheather it has an under frame or not, I didn't think of that.
I'm almost sure it's just ferring underneath

I have a set of stands from them. They work real well. The rear stand has 2 ways to lift the rear. 1 for bikes that have the stand spools, and 1 for bikes that don't. the stand has a flat rubber coated part that goes under the swing arm. The front stand works well, but will not work if you have to pull the wheel as it uses the axle nuts as the support point.

Does your bike have a complete lower frame? Many motorcycles use the engine as a stressed member, or hang the engine from a top tube - so no lower frame to use with this lift!
When we remove the front forks, we have a Multi Lift http://www.klsupply.com/lift/mc460/
That we use for bikes with cradle-style chassis (not the Ducs!). Then we also use tie downs from the frame/footpegs to a roof beam for stability.
For our bikes without lower frame tubes, we use our lift gate http://www.klsupply.com/lift/lift-gate/ and use ratchet tie downs on the triple tree for tire removal. For fork removal, we hang it from the top frame tube (with tank removed)
Costco usually has a smokin' deal on nice scissor lifts, if you've got a complete lower cradle style chassis - this is the best and cheapest answer.
But I'd still use the tie-downs to the roof as insurance!

These : http://www.abbastands.co.uk/ are the best stands I have used.
The good thing with these, its one stand to both wheels at the same time.
Also, you keep the stand for any bike, just change the bobbins.

i don't know i have pit bull stands. nothing better
than them. maybe you should invest in some good
stands and do it the right way. i paid 285.00 for
front and rear stands. my bike is off the ground all
winter long. there's no way like the right way.
