Good solid stand, as long as you pay attention to a few things
I got this stand for use with my 2023 Honda Rebel 500. It is a single stand (not two “stands”) that comes with L-shaped rubber-lined lift brackets for under the swingarm and C-style lift brackets for swingarm spools or front forks. It was easy to assemble, seems plenty solid, and works very well, now that I have corrected a minor issue (my fault) that other reviewers have mentioned and should be aware of.When I first lifted the rear wheel, the lifting arms skewed to the left and the bike was not quite vertical. The rear tire was still in contact with the floor, and the bike seemed unstable. This happened, not because of a design flaw in the stand itself, but because I had lifted the bike while it was on the side stand (leaning to the left). The solution is to have the bike as vertical as possible before lifting it. I did this by placing a piece of 2x4 under the side stand, but having a friend help would probably be safer, especially if you have a heavier bike. Once I did that I was able to lift the bike very easily.I have not used it to lift the front wheel, so I can’t comment on that.Another thing to be aware of: depending on your exhaust setup, you may need to remove your muffler(s) in order to lift the rear of the bike because there could be an interference issue with the stand. On my Rebel this only requires the removal of one bolt and a clamp, but it’s still a bit of a pain if you’re just doing chain maintenance. There are upswept (or shorter) aftermarket mufflers that wouldn’t interfere with the stand.As other reviewers have mentioned, the distance between the lifting arms is actually 14.5”, not 12.6" as shown in the pictures, so check your particular bike to make sure it will fit. The 12.6” dimension is actually the height from the floor to the center of the lift bracket post, which only gets my rear tire (150/80-16) about 1/2” or so off the floor.Overall I find it to be a very good stand for the money, and I would recommend it as long as it fits your bike and you use it properly.

Serves its purpose
It does exactly what it's intended for. Pretty sturdy and beautiful red paint job. Easy to put together and fits and holds my ZX6R up just right! Very light weight and functions as it should.

Great
Just as good as the expensive ones. Durable, nice paint, works as needed. Glad I chose this one.

Very solid for maintenance
Works amazing for preventative maintenance. I really needed a stand so I can clean the chain easier and this works perfect for it. Solid stand. I tried giving it some nudges in different directions and it holds solid. Works really good for bikes that don’t have bobbins

5 stars except instructions
Used only once at the time of this review (Jan. 2023) on the rear of the bike, not the front yet. Worked well with a 2022 Yamaha MT-07 without slider spools. Swingarm of motorcycle has no boss holes to attach spools, so no need to buy those extra parts. This stand comes with the parts for both spools and non-spools.All the parts seem to be of good and sturdy materials, and all finishes were of good quality. Assembly was easy with a few tools (Allen wrench and open wrench or pliers).Instructions are not in the best English and some parts and descriptions are strangely worded. Images of the usage instructions don't show good closeups and there is a lack of details. I found a very good video on the internet (YT) of how to use a similar product, with tips and cautions.One person of average height and strength can easily use this alone with care, but two people would be easier when first setting the gap between the two sides. I did it alone and had to reset the adjustable arms over five times until I got it to optimum span and placement. Also, I had to do this on a slight grade of about 2-3% which made placement of the arms more difficult to best cradle the swingarm of the bike. The 2022 Yamaha MT-07 swingarm isn't perfectly level with the plane of the ground, with two angles to deal with near the wheel axle. I chose a location close to the axle, just forward of it, while still making the most contact with the underside of the swingarm and not interfering with any parts during use. The L-shape arms provided with the stand have rubber surfaces that protect from damaging the swingarm, and they rotate inside their support frame when the bike is lifted and lowered to maintain full contact with the underside of the swingarm while the stand rotates into position, but once pressure is applied the arms cannot slide back and forth sideways.I put down protective cardboard to keep the wheels clean and followed the tips from the video to complement the insufficient instructions that came with the stand, and achieved satisfactory elevation of the rear tire from the pavement. I was happy that it was easy to push down the handle and lift the bike. The stand made solid contact with the pavement after pushing the bike up.The stand stayed in position with the rear wheel of the bike lifted for an hour while I worked on the bike. I didn't feel any wobbling during my work, although during assembly one of the legs had slightly more slack than the other after all fasteners had been securely tightened. The variance was very minor and seemed to have no effect on the performance of the stand when in use.Again, following the tips from the good video of a similar product made this product safer and easier to use, including lowering the vehicle. I highly recommend that consumers who are new to using this type of product find and watch one or two good how-to videos online for safety and usage tips.For at least the rear wheel of this model of motorcycle, this seems to be a good product and purchase.

Inaccurate/misleading description
This does not fit the front. The description says "front and rear combo" but shows only one stand in the picture. I already have a rear stand and needed a front stand. I (as well as others who have left reviews) thought the description meant this could be adjusted to fit either the front OR the back; however, according to "What's in the box", there should be two stands, one for the front AND one for the rear.You can argue the misunderstanding is my fault, but I expect a seller to provide a clear and accurate description to include pictures of the exact item I will receiving unless otherwise noted in an obvious way.I also ordered the item that shows both stands in the picture for my other bike. Those stands do both fit as described.In short, this post shows only one stand (which fits only the rear) and is described in a way that sounds like the one stand can be adjusted to fit either the front or the rear, yet the full description is for both stands to be included which is why I am giving this a one star review. Now I have to go through the return process and order another stand that does specify "front only" and has a description that matches the pictures.
