I am interested in getting a Pit-bull or other rear stand for my R1.

Does anyone have any preferance as to which is best to buy using a spool stand or swing arm version?

Get a spool stand, it's a lot more stable! Pit Bull also offers one that come with both. Spools are the way to go though.

i have both and i can only agree with the first two posts.when my bike is on the spool stand it's as solid as a rock. the spool stand also allows a little more room to work on the bike.

get the handy stands.$99.99 for the front and rear. you cant beat the price anywhere and the quality is excellent. better then my micron stand. http://www.handyindustries.com

Pit Bull definitely has the best stands

Spools..I have the pit bulls and mine fell of the rear stand when I was working on it one day. Luckily that front brake lever and foot peg saved it. Just a small (I mean really small) paint chip where it fell on the bottom. Needless to say I switched my stands over to the spools.....

Let's go to the mountians!!

my r6 did the same thing...sure glad the farings were off at the time. the fell on my helmet no biggie. dont care about the scratch it put in my helmet.

Spool all the way. A lot of times the swing arm stand will scratch your swing arm. /images/icons/frown.gif

I have not had a problem with my LP padded stands but am still going to switch to the spooled style soon.

Spools rule, I too have seen bikes slip and fall off of regular stands, I only use Pitbull stands too.
