Harbor Freight Motorcycle Stand : Anyone Use them?

Anyone ever use the Harbor Freight stands?

I was looking for some extra stands (and of course didn't want to spend allot) and was considering these baby's.

They looks ultra cool, but since you have to assemble...maybe not the most sturdiest of stands.

Anyone use them? light weight? heavy as hell?

Tell us what's good?
Oh and $49

roller blade wheels ?











would you trust your bike on it?

 

I've used them. They are light. They dont set the bike up very high though....just high enough. They're cheap... Dont use them with a heavy bike. Tis all.

 

I have nothing to add to this except I've seen them in the stores. Don't look reliable to me.

Oh and Go to sleep Tuna.

 

I just went christmas shopping....what a mess. I'm still on edge from all the damn idiots and I was out late trying to avoid them!

 

Oh damn that!! I did most of mine online and had a friend of mine pick up a Xbox with Kinect for my son at Best Buy on Black Friday since his dumb ass was going to sit there for 3 hours lol

 

Yea....sounds like something a cop would do.

 

For that price you can almost get a T-Rex stand. I have a set and they're great. Been seeing more and more of them at the track.

 

I've had one for about a year. It's worked well. No, it doesn't raise the bike up very far, but it does what it's supposed to do.

 

They're fantastic. Light as hell, very sturdy, and they roll more smoothly than any other (even a pit bull) imo. The fact that they don't lift very far is a plus to me, makes wheel changes easier. I thought they were a factory item the first time I saw one.

 

Make sure you pick up one of their coupons that are in various magazines before you go and get the free items with purchase or 20% off coupon. I use one of their wheel chocks in my trailer. It's not a Baxley but it works.

 

A friend has one, a little too flimsy side-to-side for me. Buy cheap...get cheap.
One drop of the bike and you'll pay more than the delta for a pit bull. :tut:

 

there's a reason pit bulls are priced the way they are. you get what you pay for.

my pit bull stands will probably still be around when the world ends.

 

been using one on my street bike a kawasaki versys for a couple of years it works good . Use coupon # 39711088 at check out (in store or on line )the price drops to 25.99

 

go ahead get em..... bodywork is cheap!:up:

 

Have not used them and won't. Have seen a buddy drop his bike in the paddock at Barber when his "just as good as pitbull" had the weld break where that spool hook attaches to that cheezy square rod.

 

How much contingency are they paying out?
I know that Pit-Bull paid lots of money this year.

 

THIS!!! is true. I've had 2-3 different sets of cheaper stands and finally set "F" it (gotta think of the kids ya' know ) and dropped the money on a set of pitbulls. Well worth the investment.

 

This.

It has to be the easiest contingency program ever, too. They actually chase you down to let you know you have money.

 

I use DMP. The pit bull stuff is just way overkill (you could lift a car with it) + they are massive in size.

The DMP is strong enough. $79.00
