    Looking for a stand for my 1990 & 1995 VFR and 1988 Hawk GT. I've found I need the ability to get the rears off the ground more than one at a time on my service lift, and want something for the driveway.

    What ya got? What ya like?

    Pit Bull looks decent.

    Give me some input please.

    Not sure if available in North America but Abba stand great for working on single sided VFRs

    They are. While cool, I'm not interested in that type of stand.

    Just looking for a simple, small, well built rear stand.

    Just to be clear was meaning the Superbike stand and not the ( very cool ) Skylift. When not in use I have it clipped on a wall. Takes up much less room than a single sided rear paddock stand.

    And with the add-on kit you can use it to lift front wheel.

    Add on kit easily fabricated if you have the skills.

    Pretty cool. Don't see a fitting kit for the Hawk GT. I really want something for both.

    Hi da doing different versions for different markets. In Europe it was the NTV650 Revere with shaft drive.
    Email Abba for confirmation they use same mounting kit.

    Thanks, but irrelevant now. Pit Bull on the way that does both. bk94si has had a good experience with his and he has the exact same two bikes I will use mine for.

    Cheers!

    I haven't done this but I have wondered.....
    If you get a long enough pipe and push though the rear axle, could a normal standard stand set up both sides of the pipe and lift the bike?
    Just a 4 beers thought gang.....?...

    I'd think normal swingarm spool stands aren't high enough, you'd need adapter brackets of some kind. Once up, how would you get the wheel off?

    Hmmmm... stand on your head, fart into the wind, sing kumbiya and the wheel will fall off?

    A late reply but if you can find one, the Power Stand is the most versatile out there. The extension has a quick release button so the long handle comes off and out of the way. I own the conventional Power Stand version of this for standard swing arms.
    But for my new VFR I just bought the Pit Bull Hybrid One. I can't find the Power Stand in the USA anywhere.
