That's what I have; T-Rex's. I especially like the front triple stand. I had a set of Handy stands but the fork stand was to unstable so I ordered the T-Rex one. I still use the Handy rear swingarm stand though. Also, the T-Rex front can also be used as a fork stand and is more stable and easier to use than the Handy.

Isn't it tough to get the bike onto that stand? With the hard angles where it pivots?

nahh- i just have to make sure the front wheel is straight so the whole bike can roll backward about a foot while "loading it up". it is actually my neighbors old bedframe. i needed to do an oil change and was drinking at the time, so i got out the chopsaw and welder and made an evening out of it. i'm suprised i was able to get it on and off that thing whithout dumping it while intoxicated. it is in dire need of some paint!

Is it 10mm spools for an 08 ZZR600? I really like the black vortex one.
