Trailer Restraint - K, R, HP2, & R9T (see notes) ('05-'22) I'm not normally one to write reviews, but my recent trip using these restraints made me a believer. I would have loved to ride it all, but taking the family and dogs along on vacation left us trailering the bikes to ride when we could. It was well worth it. Hauling an R1250 GS Adventure and an F750GS over 5500 miles around the country, over some of the worst paved roads I've ever driven (I'm looking at you I-20 through Louisiana), and even some crazy unpaved mountain roads in Colorado, it had me sweating a few times. I'd pull over every now and then to check the bikes and they were rock solid every time. I can install them on both bikes and load the trailer in just a few minutes and never have to think twice about strap tension, suspension, flat tires, or anything else. What took me so long to get these??? I will be ordering pins for all my bikes!
Jack Stands (Foot Peg Stands) These stands are great for their intended purpose. To address Jenna H's comment, they're JACK STANDS. Just like jack stands for a car, you have to jack up the car and then place the jack stands underneath the car once you jack it up to the desired height and lower the vehicle down onto the stands. My first experience with these was at the track. I had to drop my triples. I borrowed these from a fellow racer and they worked marvelously under my frame sliders to support the front end. At home, I have a chain suspended from the rafters in the garage and run a ratchet strap through the frame. And while that works, these stands are so much better than doing that. The front end sways and moves with the straps, but is firmly planted with the stands. They saved my day at the track. They're very portable and easy to use. I will be purchasing a set.
Pin #34, Front Dear Pit Bull, First I want to say thank-you. You sent me extra to try and test, made in America Service. Now the test: BMW 2023 M1000R. Pin #40 very loose Pin #26...Absolutely perfect!! Lowered the stand to its lowest setting, and it clears everything!! Again, service as it should be but so very rare today. Sincerely, Robert Pond PS Can I give 10 Stars??
Spooled Rear, Motorcycle Stand I have a 2022 Versys 650 LT and this stand is a PITA to use because of the rear tail light assembly getting in the way. It never occurred to me it would be a problem. I was coming from a cheap aluminum stand that didn't have that problem. I should have bought the "Spooled Forward Handle Rear, Motorcycle Stand" instead. I put this first in case someone else might have this issue. Other than that, the stand is fantastic. I got the axle holder and shop hanger. Both were good buys. It's solid, inspires a lot of confidence, and the removable handles make it less likely to trip on them. Might sell this one and buy the one I should have bought.
Hybrid One Armed Rear, CB1000R('08-'17, '21-'22), Hawk, & VFR800 I bought this stand to get my 2014 VFR 800 up so I could remove the rear tire. My bike did NOT have a center stand and when the valve stem failed, I had no choice but to get the tire removed and to the shop for a 20$ fix. The quality of the jack is excellent. The assembly is quick. It worked exactly and as effortlessly as depicted.
Hybrid Forklift - Motorcycle Front Stand Bought a rear stand for my bike. Cannot say enough about how great this stand is. Made super sturdy , well designed, and overall awesome. I have been through 3 different cheaper stands, and they don't even come close to pitbull quality and peace of mind that comes with it. Do your self a favor. Order, and buy this stand and you will never have to buy another one due to craftsman ship. 2021 Aprilia RS660
Standard Pin plus #2 Adapter These adapters unfortunately are total garbage. The main pin is threaded for a set screw which would work fine but the adapter has two holes drilled across from each other which does not allow you to secure the sleeve with the screw. Everything is loose which doesn’t give confidence that it will not fall apart and loose the sleeve. It’s a shame as it seems like the fabricators building the stands make sure they are built to a high standard. I would expect more from the designers though especially at the prices the stands sell for. Note from Pit Bull: The set screw secures the adapter to the pin. It does work for that purpose just fine - just line the hole in either side of the adapter up with the set screw. As far as the quality, there have been zero failures in 28 years. We are only showing this review for transparency.
Hybrid One Armed Rear, BMW Single Sided Hubs (B2 Pin, newer models) Absolutely gorgeous. I’m the worst at mechanical stuff and this is less than 1 beard…it might be a stubble if that. The gold and red is stunning…it’s like artwork by itself.
