I want to jack my bike up for the winter and need some advice.

bkruk, I just got an unbranded set like these from local Honda dealer, C$90 before taxes. Set the bike up on them tonight, work fine. Was able to true my front rotor with them on the stand, something I wouldn't have been able to do without them.

ASM, which Pitbull models did you get for the rc?
I would look at Pitbull. They couldn't help me as they said they didn't have a front for the RC390 so I got the KTM version. You have to remove the front fender to keep from scratching it with the dedicated KTM piece? Dumb.
I have the Pitbull removable handle ones and have fitted the head lift stand also using the pin from pit bulls website. No issues with either fit. The cheap stands are good until they are not good... I had my track bike (ZX6R) fall off cycle gear brand stands at NYST. The pit area there is on a slant. Now every bike has Pitbull stands.
Doubt the stand was at fault, sounds more like the pit area. I dont have pitbull stands, they are from parts canada/parts unlimted stands and they have served me well for several years.
THESE are some pretty sweet stands, not to be used in the paddock but sweet for in the garage. Getting a set for sure
