Thanks again for the links and info.
The price is actually better than I expected, but I think I've been around too many sport bikers who only want "the best"...lol
Personally, I'm considering the stand for it's smaller size. I have a lift similar to the one pictured. It's for bikes or ATV's, so it'll lift any weight I'll need for a bike. I used it on my EX after pulling the lower fairing and it was fine. I can strap the bikes to the lift and wrestle as much as I need....but space is the kicker.
The lift requires more room to use and more room to store. And while it isn't a lot of room, I am working with very little, so it's all precious space to me. The ability to use a rear stand would certainly help me perform some tasks more easily.
I belive I will eventually have a rear stand.
