| | Posted : 22 May 2015 - 02:12 Post title : Harbor Freight Rear Stand | | | Harbor Freight was just advertising a universal rear stand that supported 1000lbs and was on sale for $30 (in store only). Link
There's a HF store near me so I dropped in and took a look; it was surprisingly decent looking so with a 20% off coupon, I walked out with a rear stand for $25!
BUT (there's almost always one of those), with long pipes (stock or TORs), the stand hits the pipes before engaging the swinging arm.  So if you've got Short TORs or are willing to pull your pipes to raise the rear (and are near a HF store), it's worth a try.

I use a standard Pit Bull rear stand and back the bike up onto about a 3" wood ramp to overcome the leverage issue. Just have about a 3" tall block of wood ready to kick under the kickstand after you roll onto the ramp.
