    Great price but as you will be using them a lot and they should last years I love my Harris stands and would buy them again.

    But for the money they seem as if they will do a good job

    Can't go wrong really. For the money they look spot on. Go for it!

    Piece o piss to lift them yourself. Front stand used for wheel removal, maintenance and cleaning. Also when the bikes gonna be stored its better to have the tyres off the floor to avoid 'flat spots'

    They look great, and the rear works as well as it looks: very pleased, but I find the front one lifts a bit too high. It's a bugger to lift it too, because you have to lift so much, and it tilts the bike towards the back, so the dipstick reads wrong.

    But more stable than the nasty orange tubular steel jobbies I bought on offer from Busters or somewhere 10 years ago, and they dont scratch the swingarm.

    I also rate the headstock stands - mine is the motogp branded job: 80 quid on Amazon.

    only problem with them is the rear doesn't lift the bike very high which can make warmers a bit tight

    Have a look at an abba stand mate with a front lift little bit more expensive but well worth the money, really stable and really quick and easy to use.

    indeed it is. SO much safer too for the front. heard stories of the front slipping on normal fork lift ones!

    Are these not meant to fit between the bobbin?

    It does not seem to be wide enough!

    Did they come with additional 'cups' ? The type that actually fit under the swinger?
