Default Roller Stand on Sale!

Towards the back of the Motorcyclist mag I hold in my hands is an ad for Harbor Freight. In that ad are coupons which will score you a $10 torque wrench, a 10% off anything, several other things or this baby for $19...

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=98800

This things are great for washing your rims or cleaning/lubing your chain without having to break out the stands... FWIW I'm getting one!

Right? Those things are the shit for quick stuff!!! Hey while you're there, take a look at their tire change stand, motorcycle adapter and motorcycle tire balance stand and tell me what you think. hey that coupon isn't anywhere to be found except on the rag. I wonder if they'll take a copy. Tomorrow I'll scan it and post a pic.

I've never been in Harbor Freight but there is one not too far away so I may have to check it out.

That stand looks pretty useful. I have front and rear stands but that little thing would be quicker for the little stuff.

I must be the only one that doesn't see the allure.

How is this any quicker or easier than taking 2 seconds to throw the bike on a stand?

Well, you just roll your bike on it and you then can move the wheel however you wish. Besides with some larger bikes, putting it on stands may not be entirely safe or easy by yourself. There are also those people who don't have stands... I used to have one that I kept in my wash bucket and just grabbed the bucket when it was wash time. I guess they're not for everyone....

And here are some pics! Boy I'll be glad when my rims are repainted!!!









Here's a pic of the $60 Original Rollerstand for comparison. I kinda like the ramp on the one I have.
