Can someone help me understand how these things all work? I was looking at pictures of the venom stands/lift, but can't see how they work. Also, what is a spool slider?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Yes, thanks.A spool slider attached to your swing arm where the back wheel nut is. It acts as a handle for the stand to grab and lift the bike. The stand slides under the spools and then you press down on the Handel of the stand raising the bike. It's an easy process and the spools stay on the bike, you don't take them on and off each time you use the stand. Some stands, usually the higher end ones line Pitbull Stands, have "reversible" tips you can use it with or without spools. Does this answer your question?
definitely, I have one of my kids hold the front while I lift. My arms jst aren't long enoughTHIS MIGHT HELP!!! Motorcycle Stands- How To Use - YouTube
ONLY THING I WOULD DO DIF IS HAVE THE FRONT WHEEL INLINE WITH THE BIKE
What's a rear sheen stand?It makes chain maintenance a thousand tines easier. And yes, it will allow you to take the rear tire off along with the chain when that needs to be replaced. A rear sheen stand is a must have in my book. It makes life so much easier.

Here's the rear setup with the trex spool adapter. You basically stand the bike up, roll the lift under and align the u-bracket, then lift in one easy motion. Front is a bit different, you have fork lifts or triple-tree lifts (preferred, otherwise you can't do much but use it for storage), I don't have pics of that

You can do that with a paddock stand too. No need for the spools. They have small platforms that the swingarm sits on.

This is all fantastic information for a newb. Thanks guys!:steve:having the front tire at an angle will scare the crap out of you because it shifts / pivots sideways with lifting... not a good feeling..
I don't know, lol. I don't know how that work jumped in there. I meant rear stand, sorry.What's a rear sheen stand?
I use a piece of 4x4X1 to prop up the bike. Carved out a channel to allow the kick stand to securely be down on the wood and voila... don't have to be concern about dropping the bike while i lift the rear.definitely, I have one of my kids hold the front while I lift. My arms jst aren't long enough
