Snake Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I was wondering if anyone had bought these and if they're worth it, I've seen nicer ones but they go for well over 100$, I know you get what you pay for but hey if it gets the job done, why not?!

Premium Member Hellbound Posted June 14, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted June 14, 2018 What locks the adjuster in place. Stock has a double nut on the end. Interesting look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfz07 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I have them. They get the job done but they move the spools pretty far down and it jacks my rear tire up about 4-5 inches off the ground. That much leverage doesn't make it easy to lift. I also don't use those little finger adjusters, just the stock jam nuts. I could modify my spool stand and make it shorter but I just end up using my other stand with the rubber pads under the swingarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting look I'm sure an additional nut can be put at the back, my main reason for wanting these is having a spot to put some spools and still being able to take the rear wheel off. If I have a bit of modifying to do I'm okay with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiernut Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I have them. I used one of the stock nuts as a jam nut along with the wing nut. They work fine with my spool stand. The only issue I have is that the black finish has faded to a strange dark brown/copper color, which I suppose is to be expected for such a low price... As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even have an install video on their site. http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=292430680735&category=35560&pm=1&ds=0&t=1534861403000&ver=0 A set of those and a Harbor Freight aluminum rear lift is tons cheaper than buying a center stand, as well as keeping unsprung weight down, and no worries about the center stand hitting your aftermarket exhaust.
