C14 Pit Bull rear stand arrived today
« on: November 01, 2013, 07:05:25 PM »

C14 Pit Bull rear stand arrived today, pretty slick IMO! I already had a universal front Pit Bull so now I'm all set...  :)


http://www.pit-bull.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PBMSA&Product_Code=F0093-000&Category_Code=rear_stands


The link says for years 12 & 13 but they're just clueless on that, it will work for all model year C14's, mines an 09.


I wanted to get one of these for 2 reasons... first off when I did the Muzzys 1" lowering link I had to ditch the center stand, and 2nd... they come in GOLD to match my wheels...  8)




One thing to note, this stand wont work with the Top Block rear swing arm sliders, the TB sliders are just too long, so I had to go to the shorter ProjektD rear swing arm sliders and added the MCE rear bars to protect my rear end...  :-\ ;)


The height is adjustable as seen in the 2nd pic, in these pics I have it set at the 2nd notch from the lowest, I played with the different positions and the higher you go the harder it is to get the C14 up due to the massive weight, I opted for a lower setting for my own ease.  ;) ;D


Ok, here's the pics... What do you guys think?  :-\

That's pretty neat.  Didn't know there was such a thing without using spools.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The ONLY time a Pit Bull brand race stand will suffice is when a second best stand won't do.

Looks nice! But it looks like you don't have a center stand any more. That cuz of the dual exhaust?

I ditched the center stand when I put the Muzzys 1" lowering link on.

Yup.  I don't get guys that pay $100 for stands for a $10K or more bike.  A pair of Pit Bull stands is a hair over $300.

Those look nice.  I need them.

^^^ that +1.  I need Pit Bull stands.  I have two sets now.  For the Connie I haven't needed a rear stand because unlike ZG I don't have a bike with bling (plus pearls and diamonds!) to the point the centerstand detracts from the bike =-)

So, to take BOTH wheels off my connie, I simply remove the rear wheel on center stand, then put a PIT BULL under the front forks and remove the front wheel, and go see my tire friends for the swap  8)

ZG (or anyone with FHE)... can you confirm the front stand you used? PB doesn't list anything past the 05 Concours on their front stand chart (email to Pit-Bull is pending).

I'm a cheap ass. I use a combination of the center stand and a cheap fork stand when I need to work on the wheels. If you take the rear wheel off first, there's hardly any weight to lift up front. I just block up both ends if I need to do any wrenching while the wheels are off...

ZG, nice bike stands. I'm curious whether you need to get the bike nearly vertical, with blocks under the sidestand perhaps, before you can use either racing stand or do you prefer the added excitement of using them directly off a leaning stand.

Also, do you have inexpensive child labor tethered in your garage to get your bike museum-quality clean?  ;D
