I'm just trying to help out your business bro bro.

Not this bike night but the next I'll have all those small parts coming your way.

Powder coating isn't going to be a business for me, just a hobby that I'm willing to share. Don't even have close to the necessary equipment to do anything "professional", although I was very pleased at how the track shackles turned out. I'll be interested to hear how they hold up under use.

Yes. It was a fabricator that used to work with/for Scott at Cyclewerkz. PitBull copied his design, and tweaked it to avoid being sued. I think you can still order them through Cyclewerkz.

Edit: Found the website for them... http://www.ststands.com/main.cfm

Hmmm. I've read the instructions, looked at the pics, and the Pit-Bull sure looks to be more user-friendly, though it is a little more expensive. I wish he had a video showing it in use, that would possibly help assure I don't have any misconceptions.

There use to be one some place. I can't recall where I saw it though, and I can't get to the ststands web page from work.

Will's link above worked for me.

apparently Moto-D is a sole retailer for him now... they have a video on their front page if you use this link http://www.ststands.com

Here's a couple of videos I found. The first one is the original STS video...

The Pit-Bull sure appears to be more user-friendly, and secure. Thanks for both links, that helped a lot.

I looked at the price for the STS and it was actually more expensive for the SV: Transport stand $259, SV axle bar kit $69, and mounting kit, $45. That's $373 where the PitBull kit for the SV was $299.95.

Bummer, always nice to support local, but when the price difference is that large it's kind of hard.
