Well I've had the bike long enough that I'm now in need of a rear stand. My old bike had a center stand on it so that was easy. What stands do you guys use and do you recommend them or not? I wish the swingarm had a spot for spools but the bike can't be perfect. I like the Pit Bull SS Rear Stand (http://www.pit-bull.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=23_178&products_id=33&osCsid=fda5b76fed25cbb84cf30a2925ecab89) for the sheer fact that you can use it for spooled bikes too so I won't have to buy another one later if I get a new bike (heaven forbid).

I hear good things about the pitbul stands.
I decided to go with the OEM center stand (ha ha you can't get one) because it will allow me to service/remove my shock.
I will be getting a pitbul front end stand though. I'm getting the kind with the steering head pin so that I can remove the front end. The kind that lifts from the forks won't allow you to service your front end, only remove the front tire.

I bought a center stand from twisted throttle. They have good selection of Hornet accessories. It was pretty easy to install. I did have to cut a bolt to remove it (a longer replacement bolt was provided). Makes maintenance easier.

I got the pitbull. I like it, very sturdy it took me a while to get used to puttin the bike up by myself. The first couple of times i thought i was going to drop it. I'm sure most swing arm stands are pretty comparable though

I decided to change my oil today. I had to buy a stand. I picked up a PitBull swingarm stand at Ron Ayers this morning. I've never used any other stands. But I can tell you this PitBull stand is built like a brick sh*thouse. It's as sturdy as I can imagine any stand being. I'm definitely glad I got this one.

I bought this one. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it works great. I use it for storage and maintenance.

If anybody has any input on a front stand, I'd love to hear it.
