Just back from the dealer (65 miles away).
We bought a new R3, Purple for sure!
Dealer will deliver later this week.

What brands of rear stands are owners happy with ?

Happy to be here!

Yeah was gonna say you can't go wrong with Pitbull or Woodcraft. But also, stands aren't complicated pieces of technology...buy whatever your budget will allow. Welcome!

Complicated tech...no. But quality craftsmanship and quality components....yes.

For sure, that goes with anything. I'm just saying if they're a new rider that just bought a bike and need stands they likely need other things, like gear. Spend your money on good gear, get whatever stands you can afford. I've still got my first set of "Powerstands" I bought used for like $100 for the pair 15 years ago. Keep them in the garage for backup, was actually thinking about donating them the other day. Anyway, if you've got the budget, by all means...

Why the wheel choke if you have trs?

Gives me something to aim for so hit the TRS first time, also stops it from hitting the steering stops as the trailer bounces down the road.

Also have two single E-track mounted on the floor that I snap a ring into for tie-downs if towing a bike that isn't TRS compatible.

If towing a TRS with a longer wheelbase than the R3 I just pull the pin in the front of the chock and take it out.
