Looking to get front and rear stands for the winter. Any recommandations?

Pit Bull.

Also, run a search for pit stands. There was a long thread or a poll on this not too long ago. Don't forget to set max age for the search to something like 365 days, or it will only go back one week.

Handy Stands are cheap $100 for front and back. I have not had any stability issues.

I had a close look at Handy Stands at the recent San Mateo International Motorcycle Show. They look like they're good enough.

Personally, I went with Pit Bull because they're so overbuilt that you'll have absolutely no worries about how well they'll hold up your bike. I went with the SS rear that supports standard or spooled swingarms and the Newfront stand for the front so that I can take the forks off.

I prefer using spools if the swingarm has them, but the ST2 I just got doesn't, so I can still use the stand with it by just switching the brackets around.

I think the Handy Stand guy said that their rear comes with both attachments as well.

I purchased the bikelift stands from Kowa tool in Ca...they're the best bang for your buck, built very well.
I got both rear and fork stands for $100 bucks plus shipping, but that was a special in July...didn't get the stands untill Oct, apperantly they don't work during the month of Aug in Italy where the stands were built!

Pit Bull. I bought mine (front and rear) from California Cycleworks. Took about a week or so. And instead of the low fork stand I got the New Front Stand that lifts the front via a pin through the hole at the bottom of the triple clamp. Makes it so you can remove the forks for service.
