Rear stand ? What kind to get
I want to buy a rear stand for my bike but im not sure what brand to get. I found a woodcraft stand for 120$ at a local shop. but i've also seen stands on ebay for like 40-50$. Are they all basically the same? Or should I spend the extra $ on a name brand stand.
Whats everyone else using?

I have "Pit Bull" and "Handy" stands.
No doubt the "Pit Bull" stand is built better.
However, I never had an issue with my "Handy" stands.... and I believe you can get a set for under $100.

#1 Pitbull
#2 Vortex
for a rear stand buy one that can lift from the swing arm or from spools
on a front stand have it either lift from triple tree or under the axle/under the caliper tap combo, dont buy one that has the points that lift from under the axle only, I have seen 2 different bikes fall off the front stand due to those
there are allot of options out there, know what you are buying before you buy,and what the purpose of the stand is for,
there are some stands out there that are really cheap and lift the bike just like a pitbull but they wont allow to remove the axle while the wheel is lifted ( I dont remeber the name of that brand)

I just bought that set off one of the board members. Ken what you are going to be using them for, they will work fine, but Wolfey is right about there being "better" stands, but you won't need those 
$100 for set, you can't beat that.
