How much did these cost you for the set?looks like they're the better part of $250 for a set...
I've got no need to move the bike around on the stands so it's really not worth the extra money. Those pit bull stands look like they're even more than that...

They are, but once you spend time using "cheap" stands, you will learn to appreciate "not cheap" stands.

The stands Troy bought are far from cheap and are extremely well built.

edit: The redline commercial line is more along the lines of what I wanted to pay...

I have nothing to argue here about stands and quality of them, but its not like its a race motor that you're buying. I really needed to have the bike moveable while on the stands because of my small garage, so thats why I went with Redline, and they work great. They're made of steel (I believe) so they're strong. Of course they're heavier than the aluminum ones out there. They are $118 each.

Got my set of redline stands last week finally. Now I'm ready for winter ugh.
but ran into a 'problem'...
the front's don't actually 'fit'.
I first thought the stand had spread some either at the coaters (with the heat) or in shipping but I measured it and it's right on redline's 8.125" spec. Obviously I can make them work, but it's a pain in the ass. Now it has me wondering if something is misaligned with my front forks. Credit goes to the rigidity of these stands though - I've stood on that front one multiple times trying to close the gap and my 220lbs bouncing on it hasn't moved it.
