T-Rex stands

[Art]

I've been looking to purchace a set of stands and don't really know which way to go. Was looking at lockharts stands but have heard nothing good about them so they're outa the question. Pit Bull I know are good but a little pricey. So this leads me to T-Rex. Just looked at their site but not sure which ones to buy. Looking for front and rear set. What is everyone useing on here? Any help be greatly appreciated. Like what model type size... etc. Thanks If I'm wasting my time with any others then what pit bull stands should I be buying?

anyone mod a T-rex so you don't need to remove the front fender? Pics if you did!

Just bought a set from MJ Moto and same issue,,, the angle of the pin is about 45 degrees,,, when it should be about 20 degrees. Just sent them a message and waiting to see what there answer is,,, I don't want to take the front fender off either. That is just a dumb requirement IMO.
Wish I would have found this post a few days ago. I will post the answer / solution as soon as I can figure it out. May just bend the pin for the correct angle.

My set of $90 ebay stands fit perfectly. Still holding strong 5 years later.

Does the pin angle look like 45 degrees,,, or more like 20 degrees to match the head rake ?

The front triple stand fitment on mine looks exactly like your last picture. If I paid $150 for a front triple stand though, personally, I would not be doing any modifications on it. That thing better fit like a glove or back to the store it goes.......but that's just me.

I have built several streetrods and harleys, guess I am use to things not fitting,, and after all the posts from buellers with the same issue, I doubt sending it back would solve anything. The issue is the Buell SCG sits lower than any other bike and there is not much room between the bottom of the head and the fender. Being a machinist, the mod was not much trouble.

Well, never heard from MCMoto so I modified it and it works great now. Had to elongate the pin hole so the pin would angle up to the same angle as the head.
I did not have to grind the pin,,, 18 works fine.
