Busters do a pair for similar money. If you can afford one, get an Abba stand. No it dont sing cheesy wedding songs, it fits the central pivot of your bike, and is very stable and easy to use. they are about £90 or thereabouts.

I've got an NWS centre stand - very similar to the abba, but not red

cost more than paddock stands, but more stable, and they take the weight off the shock so it's easier to work on.

Either way, be careful when first lifting the bike as it's easy to topple it over if you're too eager - get a mate to help first

cheers

I've got a Abba stand, well easy to use. You can even get a kit that enables you to take the swing arm out.
