$100 for set, you can't beat that.
Definitely get the rear so you can use with or without spools!
We've got both the lighter weight Handys and (Wolfey's used) Vortex stands. The Vortex are more solid and not as likely to suffer if you bump into them. But, like GG said, you can't really go wrong with the $100 set.

Well I want to use the mostly for storing the bike when I get deployed. And I want to start doing my own maintinance. I dont want anything to cheap. But at the same time I need something solid that I wont have to worry about. If i have to buy them separatly. I will buy the rear first. I think the front can wait a while. It's also time for a new helmet.

i loved the vortex stand, i removed the part where it lifted the bike from the swingarm, and just used the spools,

I'm still not sure what Brand I should get but I feel better about shopping for what I want. Getting a set that can handle spool and no spool sounds like a good idea. I may end up getting the vortex of the pit bull

I work at suncoast motorcycle in Brooksville on S.R 50. I have two Lockhart stands that are white and a few SPEC stands that are black. Sorry all i have left is front stands though. I'm Patrick in parts.
