$82 plus shipping for a pair seems kinda steep though...

Thanks for the pictures Gas Man! I was wondering how the triple tree mount worked.

Despite the Pit Bull fans, I am going to take the cheaper route for once with the T-rex set. I will be sure to share my opinion on them, but I have confidence in the other forum member's opinions for now.

Run a threaded rod from Lowes thru your axle,use your old spools and a couple nuts. Just take it off when you're not using it. In fact get some wingnuts and it'll be easy. Heck,just run the rod out the ends and forget the spools. That way you can use whatever size rod your axle hole will bear for peace of mind.

I used to have the LP stands too. They are just flimsy and not very well made. Although,I think LP uses a better supplier now. BTW I have Suzuki front and rear stands if anyone wants them,I went and bought Vortex stands.
