The telly has just told me SuperCheap has a 25% off sale this weekend. Any thoughts or experience on how ones of these stands would cope with a DR?



Any other suggestions?

They go down to 310mm, which is about 50mm too high...

I use one of the DRC ones wih the damper.

Are these ones any better or worse? my local dealer stocks these

I think we posted at the same time Fran, is that the one you use? according to that advert they are only rated to 150kg.

Thassa one.

Good thing the DR is only 150kg

I removed the locking collar from under the top which dropped it another 10mm.

I use one of these motorcycle/ATV jacks and find it really good for a mid priced unit, around the $280ish mark from memory. It is rated at 1500lb (680kg)

I bought one of those SCA ones a few years ago...I wouldn't again due to the height issues. I have to lift my DR onto it which probably defeats the purpose

I have a few bricks taken from the neighbours chimney that make a solid stand to lift the dr on to, christchurch riders only

That would just about do my KLR (if you took the panniers off first)

Yep, they lift the DR, I used one on mine before I sold the DR. Now it is just sitting in the garage. Doesn't seem to be able to lift the harley!

The other lifter looks pretty awesome though, looks like it folds down virtually flat before lifting.

Any DR riderthat can't manhandle his bike onto a beer crate to do maintenance, should proceed directly to the nearest KLR/BMW agency, and buy a girlie bike.

No beer crates here

Would a Evian crate do?

I'm thinking you mean towards a liter bike perhaps?

I have one of these..and got it at 50% off....First thing I did was modify it so it would slide under the bike(XT400/550)....as having to lift the bike onto a bike lift didn't make sense
