Tires, brakes, chains, bearings…there are many components that require lifting or removing a wheel to service. That being said, getting those wheels off the ground can be a real pain. Over the years, I have used jacks, cinder blocks, and even ropes tied over a tree branch. It wasn’t until I started using wheel stands that I realized how primitive (and often dangerous) my earlier methods were.
Black Widow Motorcycle Stands are solid and affordable. Like other wheel stands, the Black Widow stands use leverage to lift the bike’s wheel off the ground for easy maintenance. They are also great for winter storage and motorcycle display purposes. One person can easily fit the stand and lift the bike.
The stands feature 1-1/4” steel tubing, black powder coating, and four 3” wheels. Although these are universal stands, they come in different configurations to fit different applications. Probably the best thing about the Black Widow stands are that they are offered in front and rear wheel configurations. Here is the kicker, you can purchase both front and rear stands in a set that is cheaper than many premium rear stands alone. A single Black Widow stand is around $60 + shipping, and a pair will run about $110 + shipping.
