Does anyone have a T-Rex front triple-tree stand and can comment on the quality? These are 1/2 the cost of a Pit Bull but was wondering if they are any good.

I don't have any, but I've heard on the Ducati forums that they're pretty decent. (A lot of Ducati's don't have a hole on the bottom of the triple, so it kind of limits your choice of stands)

This thread was actually going on today on kawiforums about them:

Can't speak for the quality of their stands, but I have a pair of their frame sliders. The quality on their sliders is excellent! When I laid my bike over, the left frame slider took the brunt of the damage and definitely did its job. I have no dents or damage other than scratches and 1 small crack on the front fairing. The sliders are 25 dollars for my bike shipped to my house, and that is the best 25 dollars I have ever spent.

I've heard good things about the stands, but I personally can't attest to the quality, so I'll let someone else chime in whose had some experience with them.

I have both the front and rear stands, just not the triple tree variety. The quality on the stands is fantastic, stable as a rock. Highly recommended, I bought my frame sliders from them as well.

Go forth and buy with confidence :dblthumb

As compared to other brands that you have to bend to adjust to your bike?
T-Rex stands are very good quality. I've had a set for three years now, and no real issues. The rubber feet came of my rear stand because my garage floor sucks, and I use it so much.

Had one for a coupla years now and it's holding up well.

I have the front, triple adapter and rear.

Have been using them FOR YEARS daily, sometimes 5 times a day.

I cannot understand why anyone would buy anything else for three times the cost of t-rex stands. $150 gets you all 3, front, tripple and rear.

Thanks for the info. In doing my research I was finding that people were saying they hold up but are bending - specifically the rear stands. Unfortunately I didn't think to look and see how long ago the posts were made...may have been on the Kawi forum.

I've had mine for 4 years, no problems. Honestly if I notice a bend tomorrow, I'd say they were a good investment.

I have T-Rex stands for my bike. However, I work with motorcycles day in and day out. I can say that the T-Rex stands are a great bang for the buck and will more then do the job for most. However, they are surely not the quality of Pit Bull or Woodcraft. Bottom line, if you have money in the bank, go with the better brands. However, for most, like myself, that money can be served better elsewhere, like buying tires or track days.

Just got a set and they work fine. You have to put them together, but they are super sturdy and stable. Not really much else you can ask for in stands IMHO.

 

[chaos14]

just to add i ended up buying...i think they are vortex stands, but i have had them for 3 years and they are as good as the day i got them, steel bearings on the wheels real sturdy welded construction they are more than the t-rex but less than the pitbull, i think i paid 80 a piece when i got them

 

[binx_19]

they are good for the money, i have a set, only problem i have is they tend to sag.

Thats exactly why i decided not to get the t-rex stands. I dont like thier two piece design. I bought a set of front and rear stands from gpi industries , lifetime warranty, one piece solid steel pipe frame. So far I am very very happy with them. I even sit my fat ass on the bike when its up on the stands and they dont budge....hers their site ( Home - GPI Industries Inc - Motorcycle Sportbike Race Stands, Chocks, Swingarm Spools and Accessories )

I have a set of T-Rex stands, front/triple and rear. Hold up great and I use them weekly. The rubber feet do have a tendancy to fall off with use, some gorilla glue fixes that problem for good overnight however.

Excellent bang for the buck.

 

[spurry29]

I also have a set of T-Rex and love them. My front are both fork and triple tree which is handy. The quality is very good and the price is great. I think they are the best quality for the price.

 

[Root2812]

Has anyone tried the t-rex spools?

 

[coupe]

Yes they are awsome

 

[Root2812]

Thanks,
They seem to be a good price and if atleast someone says they are awesome then its unlikely that they will snap off at first use. I think I'll pick up a set.
