I have a set of T-rex's



And a set of Pit Bulls



I like them both. The pit bull rear stand is more sturdy, but i'm not disappointed with the Trex either.
Reason I got the Pit Bulls is cause they made one specifically for the 1125R without spools, and I wanted a matching set, so I got the front too.

I use the T-rex's for the SV now. they both work well, and I would recomend them to anyone. Can't beat 'em for the money.

How do you get to the front axle with the non triple tree stand?

You don't. Hence the reason I bought a triple tree stand when I got the Pit Bulls. And pins for both bikes.

Like Cutty said, you don't.

However, my T-Rex front stand is convertible. I use the fork lift for most uses like putting on tire warmers and throw the upper piece on for wheel swaps or fork work.

T-Rex are good stands for the money but the bolt-together design will wear out over time.
