Im looking for a good rear stand. What's a good one for for these bikes? I was looking at the pit bull forward handle.

Go to ebay and order the Venom stands you get the front and back for about 75.00, they work great. I have one set ordering another for my other bike. Just do a search for motorcycle stands

Pitbulls are great, but expensive, here is stand with coating on the spool adapters for $49 shipped :
Or if you are in a hurry, cycle gear has a trackside rear stand for $39.99 that works just fine, just plasti-dip the ends of the spool adapters .....

Pitbull is what holds my girl front and rear! Expensive yes but so are your plastics... Your choice!

Yea, I just use my cheaper ones for lubing the chain, if I was going to put it up for any length of time, I would get Pitbulls ...

My cheapos held up for a front spocket change with a breaker bar and no shake or wobble, plus they have been holding it all winter, nothin against pitbull bull but I can get two for the price of one and still get the same work done, just my two cents from my garage, lol.

Pitbull here.Had it adjusted to fit my n1k and wanted to get the 14r straight to put on the luggage rack.Went to see what how much I needed to readjust and....both bikes are the same lol.Just threw that part in there but as far as stands,I don't think you can break the pitbull,it is one solid stand.Got the same one Wolfman shows in his picture.And don't forget to put a 2x4 under the kickstand.The bike is nearly vertical so the stand can just scoop it right up without doing a circus act in balancing.

I used to buy Pit Bull stands (front and rear) exclusively, thinking that the extra money was worth the piece of mind of having a quality piece of hardware that would be safer to use than other, lesser quality stands. Bought them for my BMW's and Ducati's that had single side swingarms. After getting a couple of bikes using conventional swingarms, I decided to give the Trackside stands sold by Cycle Gear a try (both front and rear stands). Definitely inferior quality hardware; however, i never had a bike fall off its stand. My bikes are on rear stands all the time while parked in the garage, by the way. Front stand used for maintenance/tire changes only. Bottom line: if you like the golden color and better materials, and don't mind/can afford to spend more, buy the Pit Bull. If you want something inexpensive and equally useful, go down to your nearest Cycle Gear store.
