Motorcycle center stands are handy items. They make tire removal, chain lubrication, oil changes, and virtually every other aspect of motorcycle maintenance and tuning easier. However, the simple fact is that not all bikes have center stands. In fact, center stands are becoming a rarity. That is where rear wheel stands come in. Wheel stands use leverage and the rider's weight to lift the motorcycle's wheel a few inches off the floor. The bike is safely supported by the stand's contact with the swing-arm or the rear axle.
You will see these stands in the pits of every motorcycle racing team. This is because the mechanics and tuners know that speed and convenience is a priority. Obviously, their fully faired race bikes don't have center stands. Truth is they don't even have side-stands. No, a rear wheel stand won't make you as fast as Nicky Hayden, and it won't make you as skilled as his mechanics. However, it will certainly make your life easier.
This unit is simple and well-made. When you consider that you can pick up the stand for well under $75, it is a no-brainer. Once you start using a rear wheel stand, you'll wonder how you ever did without one. This is not some sales cliche -- it's the truth.
