Love my pit bulls for the buell. Use them when I'm working on either bike, use my t-rex's for storage of the SV in the winter.

Too late..... I've had the Pit Bull rear and I now have the Vortex.
Three things; 1. Removable handle that snaps into place on the stand out of the way. 2. Two axle holders-very handy! 3. Four wide wheels make it easier to move the bike while on the stand. |

For the money, DMP quality is better than expected

Also, when I am ready to let the bike down, I stand on that side of the bike and begin raising the arm, while bear-hugging the bike with my other arm. Then as I let the bike down, I pull it towards me so that it falls on the sidestand. I don't trust my ability to keep the bike from falling, which is why I want the sidestand to be down. Problem with the pitbull is that it makes you put your sidestand up while using it, which means that when you're ready to put the bike down, you can't put the sidestand back down until the pitbull's arm is almost at the point of no return. Each bike is different though. |

That said, I drop mine pretty fast and have never had a problem with it trying to get away from me when it touches the ground. Just a light hold on the left clip-on is more than enough to give it some stability until I throw a leg over it, or lean it on the sidestand. |
