Anyone know if these are any good? Seems too good to be true, £40 for a front and rear stand delivered.

For the money they are great, I have a pair, my boss has a pair and my mate has a pair.
They held up a hayabusa perfectly but they do rust quickly. Nothing a coat of hammerite wont cure.

I've got a cheap rear similar to that and it's not too bad once I welded up the joins, but was a bit wobbly before.

To be fair i'm prepared to pay good money for a set of front of rear one's, that firstly will fit my first bike, and then be used perhaps when i get a bigger ride ... bobbins needed is OK ... Thumbs Up

Look a bit like mine.

Its easy to knock off a circlip that holds the wheels on, but otherwise ok.

Can't beat an Abba stand tbh. Superb quality and very, very easy to use...

Abba stands do look good, but I have to say, this looks better:

I bought that set about 5 months ago and they are fine.
They lift my gt650 without issue, stable, no wobbles etc. and also manages my bosses fjr1300 without any complaint.

Which having had his FJR fall on me last week i can confirm weighs something similar to a bus Confused

So IMO, tis a good buy Thumbs Up

I got that very set. I paid 30 quid for the pair from Busters
-they immediately disappeared from sale and re-appear later at 50quid.

The rear brackets are un-braced right-angle section that would not be strong enough to lift the bike when it is leaning on the side-stand, but if you hold the bike upright they lift and hold the bike fine.

I use the rear one weekly for chain lubing.
