Need to buy front and rear stands before winter sets in...
Been browsing flea-bay... but if somebody has a good price on a set of used ones, let me know.
And / Or - where do you guys purchase your stands (new) from?
Is there really a big difference from manufacturer to manufacturer? What about no-name brands?

Got a set of those about 2 years ago and have been very happy. Stable enough for me to practice hanging off the bike while on the stands.
You Sir know nothing of true greatness. I of course refer to ones ability to steal, drink and generally do nothing, and carry it off with style
I've got a set of GPI Industries front/rear stands. Not as nice as PitBull, but they worked great for keeping the 250's wheels off the ground last winter. I don't expect them to work so well with the single-sided swingarm on the R1150GS, though. There's some surface rust where dragging the bike/stands around at Loudon scratched the paint off, I'll try to grab photos tonight. $65 and I'll see if I can get 'em up to Essex (easy enough if I can fit them on the back of the 1150 and make it to Bike Night, otherwise it might be a little tougher, but I'm sure we could figure something out).
Harbor freight rear stands are great

it was from a store that was an auction item. The seller is tootobear. When I was shopping I just searched for MOTORCYCLE UNIVERSAL FRONT REAR STAND KIT SWINGARM BIKE and I got a bunch of results. GL

Er, assuming the upload works, it's being silly at the moment. But they should get there soon.
T,
I've got a pit bull, flip forward stand that I'd let go super cheap. got it with the 600 and replaced it with t-rex stands if you want, we can work something out.
