    Ive been using pitbull for over 10 years.

    I would like a lighter alternative. I have a van and would like something a lot lighter that I can mount to the wall but good quality. Whats out there?

    Harbor freight aluminum. I've seen them being used on WSBK teams. Wankers.

    How about PowerStands? They still making PitBull look-alikes out of paper towel tubes covered in aluminum foil?

    Those HF aluminum ones are the most common single type I've seen. Honestly I they're the best I've used, too. Including the pitbull stuff. Bike doesn't fall down, stand doesn't fall apart, and it weighs 5oz.

    I don't need my stand to survive the apocalypse. I hold up delicate motorcycles with it, I don't kill zombies with it.

    That's great if you only race in paddocks with pavement. Charlie built his stuff to work on the ground at Talladega :D

    The HF stands are copies of some good stands with thick aluminum, not paper thing BS like the HF stands. I won't even allow them in my shop if dropping off a bike.

    I have these stands in addition to other stands. These stands aren’t for the track, but they are great for garages with tight spaces.

    There is a Pit Bull Ultralight stand. We removed the width adjustability option as part of a larger effort to reduce weight. You can order them in 3 height and 3 widths(or even a custom size if you contact us). They've been used by race teams that wanted lighter stands for a long time now. Total weight is 30% less than a traditional Pit Bull stand. We could go lighter, but then you'd get into durability issues and it wouldn't be a Pit Bull.

    I've been named "customer of the month" several times at HF... and I have to say their rear stands are super cheesy
