online $39.99, in store $49.99 could have got them down but I did not feel like arguing for once.

i wonder if you can just get the swingarm spool hook thingies. i have a stand but it has the swingarm pads. it's old before they invented the spools. been looking for just the hooks since i got my Vee. the web site says they sell the swingarm pads separately so i wonder if the hooks would work on my stand.
i'm going tomorrow at lunch to steal...i mean check it out.

I picked one of these up for $39. The in-store price was more, but they lowered the price when I showed them a printed page with the internet price.

The also had some swingarm paddles for sale that eliminate the need for swingarm spools, but they would not lift the bike high enough so I returned them.

The also had a set of front fork adapters that would convert a rear stand into a front stand, but they were for a different rear stand which they do not stock. :confused:

As for swingarm spools, I just got a couple of bolts from the hardware store. I'm not sure, but I think the pitch might be 8 x 1.25. The socket I used to tighten them was 13mm.
