Default Hold On To Your Wallets!!!

So I'm searching for a Cycle Cat stand for RacerX and what do I stumble on to but a cornucopia of deals...

http://www.oncycles.com/index.asp

Some stand outs were $180 set of Alth front rotors for my bike! A $40 Knox back protector! A $700 Matrix hydraulic preload shock for my bike. Ceramic wheel bearing kits for $250!!!! Oh and a billet top triple clamp from Cycle Cat for........$50!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and the stand that Azoom recommends is $130 for the rear.

That back protector isn't worth $40.

thanks for looking that up.

just dropped by cyclegear to get an inspection plate thingy for my bike, and w/ the relationship w/ them i can get a pitbull for $132+ taxes

so it's about the same as powerstands......prolly as good.......and no waiting.

Is that the side handled stand? You need that for your bike. I don't think the normal stand will work.

yeah they can order it in.

actually i did try a normal stand, and the orig. owner had cut that giant mudflap down, so it fit.

but i'll prolly get the single side one anyways.

LIES!!

That PowerStand kicks ASS over the Pit Bull. And, you NEED the side arm - if you're going to order it anyway, get the better stand. The arm is longer on the PowerStand, you'll need that on the beast you're trying to lift.

Pshaw! Have you seen this guy? Leverage will not be a problem!!! Although, I do agree that the Powerstand does look good! Has anybody tried the Cycle Cat stand or a reverse handle stand, just curious. I considered trying to replicate the Cycle Cat style of stand but gave it up.
