need stands for cbr1000rr

I'm looking for a very good quality set of stands for my '05 cbr1000rr. so, what brand is everyone using? do i need to have spools installed to use them? links would be great, thank.s

www.heindlengineering.com and www.redlinestands.com are site sponsors so check them out. I have Redlines, they do the job fine. The "nicest" stands are probably Pitbull and Woodcraft. If I had to do it again I would still get the cheaper rearstand because I'm not convinced the others would serve me better but I would get a front steering stem stand instead of a fork stand so I could take my forks off (right now I have to borrow a stand or suspend the bike with tie-downs. Redline and Heindl don't make such a front stand unfortunately. You don't "need" spools but they're more stable, I would get them.
