I am fairly new to all of this and short of taking a chance on one, does anyone know of a good pair of lifts for the 599? I would need a swingarm lift for the rear and I suppose the fronts are all the same? What does everyone use?

Thanks!

Pit bull is excellent and versatile (ie, you can get one that can be adjusted for many bikes.) I have one for the rear and am pleased with it. If I ever need a front stand I'll get another Pit Bull.

I have powerstands stands front and rear. I'm very happy with the rear stand's workingness with the 599's swingarm, but the fork stand seems a bit extra difficult to use, especially without a buddy. (These are the only motorcycle stands I've ever used, so I have no basis for comparison.)

Got my stands at NewEnough, btw.

I got the PitBulls too.

I would recommend a front end stand that goes in the stearing head so you can remove the forks.

Those are so stinking handy. Haha.

I've got the Steel Horse Fab rear stand. It works great. But I put a guy's R6 on a Pit Bull stand the other day and it worked really nice. I'd seriously consider one of those if I was buying today.

I use the Steel Horse stand to park the 599 flush against the garage wall. I spray glass cleaner on the painted garage floor and slide it over. The 4 wheels may help spread that load.

I like those Pit-Bull jack stands. I could definitely use those.
