Anyone got or used one of these? wondering how stable they are with the bike 900 off the ground. not a bad price to save you getting dirty knees!

but but but, you could lift you bike real high so you could take off a wheel easy as, then watch it overbalance and crash to ground :bleh: if you wanna see a well cool lift design, look here!

Which, although not bulletproof are a bloody good product.

I was thinking something more along these lines http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Parts-for-sale/Other/auction-295039459.htm

Might be the go, the Yamaha stands if they are the same as the ones being given away earlier in the year with YZ250's are damn nice.

That is a very good price, i can match it if anyone is interested. i use one and don't have any stability issues. I meant the stand, not me.

If you look close enough i think you tie the frame down to stop this

yeh, but by the looks of it the whole caboodle could overbalance just as easily!

Couple mates use them and they are stable as. Foot pegs get clipped on to stop bike moving and theres a safety bar as back up against it dropping. The base etc is sturdy as and presents no danger of falling under normal use. They choose to sit the bike just off the ground when not working on it just in case but theres been no sign of issues yet.....

no reason why you couldn't bolt tthe whole thing to the floor no way it could fall over then
