Hi chrly, The beadriders made a differnce for me. 1st time you sit on them it is a funny feeling but after 50 miles my but was broken in to them. They may not be for everybody but they work for me.

It took a friend of mine almost a year to convince me to try them .. I have two sets now and really rely on them for anything over 3 or 400 miles.

Abba stand. Highly recommend. You can use it on many bikes by getting different stand pins. Lift rear, front or both.

Super cool stands.

Super cool stands.

I have to get one. I'd be careful about braking torqued fasteners with the bike lifted high though. That seems like it could act as a lever that might tip the bike. I usually brake anything that's real tight with the bike on its side stand. ...and carefully!

I also 'note' to self, to try to remember that the bike
can be accidentally nudged back when on sidestand,
but never forward.
Don't 'no-one' ask me how I know.

Yup, cracking bolts free is half the job. The other half is not tipping the bike over...which is usually the more important half.
