Hi All,

I've returned to riding after several decades away from motorcycles. Took the rider safety course, and got myself a black non-ABS CBR250R a little over a month ago. It's a blast!

Here she is:

Stands just make wheel cleaning and chain maintenance easier. and I figured I'd probably need them eventually anyway!

Welcome to the forum. Regarding those stands, what kind are they and did you need to do anything to the bike to get them to fit?

I got the stands on Ebay. I didn't have to do anything to them to make them fit. Just the basic adjustments was all that was necessary.

The front stand has a sticker on it calling itself a Black Widow stand.

It looks like this:

The rear stand calls itself a Pit Posse. Just a note here, I tried a couple different rear stands - you want this kind.

It looks like this:

The Pit Posse provides good clearance under the muffler - other stands I tried did not.

I live in Penfield - I have for the past 20 years - I didn't grow up here though. I grew up in the midwest ( Southwest Missouri )

If you really want some Wegmans donuts, I guess I could box up a dozen and send 'em your way...
