I have an old Lockhart I've been using for close to 20 years. It can be adjusted for width though the narrowest spacing is still almost too wide. I use a little padding on the sides where the swingarm rest to keep it centered on the arm. Mine's like this one.

Pit bull are well thought of. I have a T Rex from memory, also good. The harbour freight one I had collapsed one day and the bike fell off it... Get a good one!

Love my T-Rex. Tough as nails. Well built. Can use with spools or without. I like the front steering stem stand even more. Life is not as easy without a center stand when on a trip, but it's not that much worse. A bottle jack kept in the "cavernous pit" the ZRX has under its seat (seriously, more bikes need that much storage space under the seat. I can fit a bottle jack, a can of chain lube, and WD40 and my rain gear in that compartment. Wonderful idea.) makes not having a center stand not quite so bad. I pulled the one off my 1100ES, a nessecary evil with an underbelly exhaust, and it was after that I realized how darn usefull they are.

Eagle Mike sells a "trail jack". My bike has Center stand but i'd be looking at something similar if they didn't.

Basically uses the side stand on one side and the extendable arm on the other...

After loads of research, I ended up with a Steel Horse adjustable stand:

The Webbikeworld.com review:

Very strong and safe, impeccable quality, and IMHO the way the brackets are attached beats everyone else's design hands-down, including T-Rex and Pit Bull.

Now only $99, too.


I use my $25 Harbor Freight stand for my KLR650, but never on anything heavier.
