Which Garage Dolly is Best?

[dealer]

Good question. I tried to contact him, several times, and received no response. And went the path of Becker. Then here lately, I've been seeing ads on this web site for Flipmeister, so I don't know what is going on. He has several of his specialty products that appeal to me, and I would like to have, if they are being made and sold.

I just recieved the flipmeisters paddock stand. www.flipmeisters.com Ordering done with e-mail.

.. and I now have the center stand in my garage.

I have their stand too. Thinking about upgrading with Becker-Technik Rangier-Adapter-Set

I always thought a big bike like the Rocket should come with a center stand. Being it does not which stand do you guys like better? When you install it do you remove the stock stand and switch or just leave it?

The Becker stand is WORKSHOP ONLY. There was a stand made by Rivco for early R3's ONLY. I think most folk found it grounded.

Disregard above post. After further reading I saw that these are meant to be used with breaker bars
and are not for an everyday kickstand.

Yes, mine is identical -- perhaps better packed. All bolted together and has been working fine. Even with the handle down and the steel blocks turned down to act as ramps and lifting the wheels off the floor, those steel blocks still slide without the added weight.

I just put my harbor freight unit together and when I try to put the kick stand down it extends out to far and end up setting over the caster on the kick stand plate so the bike wont lean over far enough to let it sit on there. Did you have any issue with this

No issue at all with mine -- and mind you -- I refuse to buy *anything* from Harbor Freight.
