You will need the spools if you don't have them, 8mm I think for the Honda's, but the spooled is generally more secure (no way for the bike to "slide" down that way) then rubber pads.
The front (handy) stands rely on going into the indentation of your lower fork tubes.
www.pit-bull.com has some damn fine stands but the cost just goes up and up and up unfortunately, but the quality is there. The Handy's are good stands for the $$.

great, thank you. i had just never heard of a bobbin before, pretty funny *** name. ive looked at the pitbulls before, but i just cant see spending the money on them if they can provide the same general function as the cheaper ones and they're never going to be seen by anyone but me and my dad. thanks everyone for the help. i now have to pour some concrete to fill in a couple low spots from cracking so i have a level floor and the handy's hopefully will be here by the time the crete is cure.
