Hey falks , I have just taken delivery of a brand new rear race stand which I purchased from Trade-me.
Very happy with the whole service, the product and the PRICE ($69) and a front stand is $59. :woohoo:
The trade me traders name is: otira and here are his listings: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=930955
This is a motorcycle shop in Levin that delivers nationwide:

I'm very pleased.
Higly recommended to everyone :niceone:

Cheers man, great find, that ramp looks good too.
Have just asked if there';s a discount for buying both the front, and the rear, or are they pretty much the same?

I brought a front stand off him a while back and it fits my Triumphs and Ducati easy, bloody good idea, especially when you have both stands and its time to take wheels off..

Shame they dont bring in front headstock stands (more useful as then you can remove the forks etc and more stable for removing the wheel), even more of a shame is that you can get a front headstock and a rear from the states and its still cheaper than just a front headstock here. :(

Both for $120. I want a stool too.
Woohoo!

I asked him a question about front headstock stands but he doesnt do them.
I want one, too.
where did you get yours from and does it still work at the 76c/$1 level?

Found this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Vortex-Front-Stand-Paddock-Pit-Service-UNDER-frontstand_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem150273910946 QQitemZ150273910946) for US$120, I reckon about $20 for postage, just shy of NZ$200 for a stand that enables you to remove the forks.
Is this cheap Squiggles? It's the only one that I could find on eBay of it's variety.
I ordered a Rear stand and Stool from the guy on TradeMe, but I want a front stand that lets me take the forks out.

Seems to be about the norm for the fixed type, there are some there that are under the forks, with an attachment piece which lets you use them under the headstock... you could get a combo with one of these and a rear for 130.
Im doing a bit of research as to what other options/pricing there is, and how much it costs to make them even
Shipping is usually flat rate box so $36US

Where are you getting these prices from? I'm whoring ebay right now and everything looks incredibly rip.
Stand US$39.99
Shipping US$89.99

Shippi$ng US$89.99
Yer, you're going astray there, lookup shipping prices on usps.com , flat rate box shipping tends to be the cheapest (for anything over 1lb really), at a rate of $37US for up to 20lbs
Its never going to be cheaper for a rear stand, we're talking about the headstock front stands which are a long way from affordable here
