Per a request, here is my impression of this product. Feel free to post any agreements/rebuttals...

I purchased the Handy Industries front and rear stands for my ZX9R. Both stands were $99 total plus $16 for shipping, so the price was right.
I am very happy with the quality. I chose the bobbin (spool) option for the rear stand. This required me to purchase a set of bobbins, but I figured this approach was more stable than using the rubber "L" bracket option. I was worried that if I had any chain lube under the swingarms, the "L" bracket may possibly slip/slide if my kids start climbing on the bike. I am not sure if this is a problem, but the bobbin is definately rock solid stable. Not all bikes have bobbin adapters on the swing arms, so you may be forced to use the "L" bracket...or weld a bobbin nut onto your swing arm like Degsy did with his new race bike. The front stand has no lateral bracing, so is has a very small amount of wobble if you are sitting on the bike with the front off the ground and you shake the bike. Not enough to worry about, but not as rock solid as the rear stand. I can easily raise the front/rear of the bike by myself without it getting shaky. I recommend them.

The bobbins (spools) I purchased were $16 plus about $6 for shipping. I purchased them from www.motorcycleradar.com The are good quality and look nice. They are made in Massachusetts for those of you who want to buy local.

Got my stands bout a week ago, soo Ya know I had to take the babe out for a spin. So I get back and throw it up on the rear to lube the chain. Fairly easy with one person and very steady. The front made me a little nervous cause it was a little wide but condensed once there was pressure on them. All in all I like them and you can't beat the price $99 plus $15 for shipping for both stands. You'll just have to wait almost 2 weeks for them to be shipped
